The Ford Mustang Dark Horse – which trotted out as a surprise, high-performance variant of the S650 Ford Mustang in 2022 – can be tacked up with some unique carbon fiber wheels. The 2025 Ford Mustang Dark Horse can also be fitted with the sporty rollers. Ford Authority breaks down everything you need to know about the wheels and spotlights them in the following photo gallery.
The 2025 Ford Mustang Dark Horse’s optional carbon fiber wheels measure 19×10.5 inches up front and 19×11 in the rear. They’re touted as weighing 37 percent less than the standard aluminum wheels, eliminating about 20 pounds from the high-performance pony’s curb weight. These ultralight wheels are produced by Carbon Revolution, which made the carbon fiber wheels on the sixth-gen Mustang Shelby GT350 and Shelby GT500.
There’s a catch to acquiring these carbon fiber wheels, though. They’re offered up as a “standalone” option that costs $8,995, but they’re only available if the Dark Horse Handling Package has already been equipped. As a reminder, this bundle includes adjustable strut top mounts, front tow hooks, the Magnetic Damping System, a Shadow Black-painted rear spoiler with a Gurney flap, and revised chassis tuning. That package costs $5,495 by itself, meaning that in order to equip the carbon fiber wheels, buyers should expect to fork over $14,490 extra.
The 2025 Ford Mustang Dark Horse, which is motivated by the naturally aspirated 5.0L Coyote V8 engine, starts at $64,380 (not accounting for destination freight charges, or “DFC”) after receiving a price hike in late December 2024. All said and done, with the carbon fiber wheels fitted plus the Dark Horse Handling Package, the 2025 Ford Mustang Dark Horse stickers for $81,160 including DFC, making it one of the pricier options in the lineup.
Production of the 2025 Ford Mustang, which is handled at the Flat Rock Assembly plant, is currently underway, having started on November 4th, 2024.

I don’t like the style of those new wheels and not a fan of black /almost black wheels either. $15K? No way! Also, more easily broken when mounting new tires.
