Mattel, on the nearly-identical multipack exclusive for that year, was it too much a stretch to put wheels other than OH5 on it?
Thanks, Dutch. I would have gone back and forth on this one, seeing bare hints of the original bronze colour on the spokes.

I'm not too sure,no copper at all and doesn't have any winning capabilities
- Most weren't really spectacular new out of the package either. — GspeedR
- Surely that is false advertising if there isn't any/much difference to non fte — RalphsRacers
- `05 FTEs were the most consistent, quality seemed to fall off in later years. — GspeedR
- I thought fte had more to do with upgraded axle than the actual plastic wheel... I could be wrong... I usually am it appears... lol — Stoopid_Fish_Racing

FTE or not, check how the wheels are, ie round/balanced/ spin work the wheels n axles up, test away and go!
Cheers
- Very true, OH5s + graphite = poor man's FTE — GspeedR
- this — dr_dodge
- Yes, good wheels are tough to find sometimes. — alva1370
- Just found another mustang with fte ,checked on wiki,numbers match,slow as anything. — RalphsRacers
- Try an `05 Mustang GT, they're usually much faster, the GT500s from 2010 just don't cut it. — GspeedR

I believe it is.....the color on the wheels/rims does look a bit more silver than copper.....hard to tell if it's faded/worn though.
