New Wheels on my Mach 1

[Mustang92]

I bought the car in April but was never crazy about the wheels that were on the car at the time.

Old Wheels.

It looks much better. More old school. Great choice.

Nice! If there was ever a car that retro styling workded for, the '03-'04 Mach 1 was it. As for your old wheels....the only thing that looks worse on a Mustang than FR500 wheels, are FR500 wheels painted in black!

 

[Mustang92]

The wheels are wheelreplicas magnum 500's 18x9's and 18x10's. The old wheels are forged speedline GT wheels, basically a FR500 look alike type wheel. The new ones are much more my style.

Now those look really good on the car,similar to the stockers but better.I really never cared for the stockers.Are those DD's?If you dont mind me asking...what did those run ya...I think I might want those on mine.

Oh and thats the Comp Orange right?Love that color.That one of my 3 favs for the Mach's...Comp orange being first then a toss up between Screaming yellow and Azure Blue.

I meant to ask what size tires you running now...looks like the filled up the gap nicely.

 

[CENTENNIALSTANG]

i like both

 

[Mustang92]

I thought they were DD but they aren't. A complete set runs $579 but they are out of them right now. I got mine in trade for the stock wheels/tires for the wheels only. Yes it's competition orange.

the new wheels look sick im not a fan of black rims, i had black cobra R's on my car when i bought it

 

[chefalan23]

lookin good. nothing like an orange mach. the only way i can deal with fr500s is if they are DD.

I love those new wheels man, they look sick as hell. Sorry guys but i'm completely agains chrome on a Stang and i LOVE FR500's, black that is.

Your Mach looks great on those Magnum wheels, & Comp orange is an awesome color...

You guys are crazy...FR500's are good looking wheels & when I got mine over 2 years ago, they were a way to break the typical 5 spoke mold.... Say what u want, but I think my Mach looks perfect on my silver FR500's....

I have to admit Epik....I really dont care for the Fr500's...but they do look good on your Mach..

Thanks...

Those look really close to what I had put on my Mach today. I bought the AFS Chrome Mach 1 Replica 17X9's. They cost me $550 on E-Bay. They look really good. Bought some Toyo T1R rubber online too. She's ready to roll for my long roadtrip.

The Speedlines would've looked alot nicer had they not been black. They're a good looking rim, just the wrong color

Good choice in their replacements

Sorry man, I'm just not feeling it. Although I will admit that black rims of any kind usually get the from me. I actually had a set of brand new silver FR500's with the polished lip ready to go on my Cougar but I decided at the last minute I'd rather go with something a little...."less", sold them to a friend of mine and picked up a set of '97 Cobra wheels instead. To each their own though....I just don't think it's possible to improve on the look of the wheels above on a Mach 1.

...on a side note. The friend I sold the FR500's to is running them on her '04 Explorer now and I have to admit, they look better on that SUV than they ever did on any Mustang I ever saw them on.
