Ford placed a Space White model on the Portland Auto Show floor.

Interesting, that's a route 1 edition. I like the wheels in real life compared to the rendition in the configurator

I have a STRONG feeling that GT Performance wheels will be in high demand by more base version owning Mach-E owners

I wouldn't think the GT wheels would be an option on non-GT models.

Also, putting 20" wheels on would cause a huge hit in range --- drag and low rolling resistance need to be at a minimum in a EV for decent range.

I'm surprised by how much I like this shade of grey. It really works with all the black trim pieces!

I this color "Space White" it looks like a Star Wars Storm Trooper also very nice i have ordered the Rapid/Lucid Red

do you happen to have more side view shots, or closeups of the wheels?

I might. What exactly are you looking for?
Thankfully one thing we don't have to worry about are the offset of those wheels. I was concerned they might look

I believe opposite is true. ..thats why my BMW i3 has huge diameter thin wheels

Rolling resistance – theory and practice

In theory, the rolling resistance of wheels decreases as the diameter of the wheel increases. This is on the assumption that all other factors are equal: the tyres are of identical cross-section an…

Just wanted a better view of the wheels

Someone on the design team was probably thinking Star Wars too, which is why it is called Space White. It is a really nice shade, when combined with the black accents. I like it better than the other grayscale colors. I am torn between it on the color, colors (Rapid Red and Infinity Blue). I normally don’t like white, but that is a very nice whitish color.

I placed my order preliminarily in red but am starting to like this space white. Would really like to see it in person.

I’ll bet they would have called it Stormtrooper White if they thought they could get away with it. It could have been a nice marketing gimmick.

Now I have visions of the black being Vader black, with the piped in sounds of noise from a scuba tank - or Rick Moranis from spaceballs wheezing when you punch the accelerator

They can't go there. Elon already stole ludicrous.
