Might buy these wheels...

xxrequiemxx · Mar 27, 2008

OK fella's - I want opinions.... I was cruising around craigslist and found a set of wheels that I have been looking at for a while - but could not find them in 18's.

Here is the link to the actual wheels for sale:

Here is a pic of the wheels on the guys car before he took them off and a pic of the actual wheel from american muscle - but in a 17inch size.

Let me know if you guys will think these will look good on my 2006 black GT. I plan on dropping the car after I buy these rims.

They would look better on your car. I'd hold out for the 18s personally.

Nice wheels.

xxrequiemxx · Mar 27, 2008

The ones I can get are 18's. I think they would look really sharp on my car... FYI - here is a pic of my car.

I love those Mac 1 style wheels. I hope you can get the Mustang centers.

oh6geetee · Mar 27, 2008

i like them; you should get them

stumpjumperpro · Mar 27, 2008

I would be curious to see these on a Mustang.

hahah you can get them 18"-20" just look around ! Ebay has them and so does a bunch of other sites !

xxrequiemxx · Mar 28, 2008

Thanks for all the feedback. I think I am going to get them.

The guy I am buying them from had on 255/45/18 tires. I dont want as beefy looking tires like the stock. I would like more lower profile w/o killing the ride quality. I am going to probably use these year around. Any recommendations? Any specific tire maker that I should go with? I can order these through my father who owns a body shop at discounted price.

IMO, those wheels do not fit the s197's...
they look good on the mach's and thats about it!

xxrequiemxx · Mar 28, 2008

I am torn on this....

Anyone have any other pics of these wheels on a s197?

DarkFireGT · Mar 28, 2008

Here's a few of ours. We finally have pony center caps now. I love them. Always loved them on the Mach 1's. They're made by AFS and you can purchase them off of eBay. I think this was the first mod we did.

xxrequiemxx · Mar 28, 2008

Dark - I think you just convinced me to get these... They look nice on the s197's.

600 dollars for 5 wheels that are in perfect condition is a good deal to me.

Which tire brand/size do you recommend? I will be driving the car year round.

I think they would look nice but theyre Mach rims, they should be on a Mach!

Dont mix breeds!

I love them. Can't beat a 5-spoke.

xxrequiemxx · Mar 28, 2008

I just ordered up 4 tires. I am going to get the Goodyear F1 All Season's.

They were rated #1 and have gotten good reviews. Since I am goign through my father - i am getting all 4 tires put mounted and balanced for 190 each....

Not to bad

the wheels are a magnum 500 style wheel, not "mach1" wheels. they were available on more than just an 03/04 mach1. not exclusive to just a new edge mach.

steedman07 · Mar 28, 2008

I like them...

Vanilla Mustang · Mar 28, 2008

The old Machs had an older style of these rims also, not just the new edge ones.
I wasnt around when the old Machs were on the street, I just see the pics and restored ones so maybe there were others, I cant seem to take the time to research it.

This is a newer style of Magnum 500 rims, which were very similar to the rims on the new edge Mach. I see them and I think Mach 1...

I think they look nice (as I said) and if FORD didnt decide to use them as the staple Mach 1 rim maybe I wouldnt associate the two. But they did...so...

BTW...I know the requiem guy a little too well and its my job to rattle him...

sabrooks · Mar 28, 2008

they would look nice on your ride I like black chrome on black cars also
