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 agree with you, they do look good on your car. if i had a mach i'd put dd fr500's on, but GT's need deep dish bullitts or some form of cobra wheels.

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.

Your right, to each their own...Well for what its worth, I bought my FR500's when I had a 97 Cobra & couldnt stand the stock wheels...LOL!!! When I bought the Mach, I also hated those stockers, so since I had the FR's still after I sold the Cobra, the Mach stockers came off the 2nd day....The FR's just ended up looking good on the Mach to me, so i kept em'..

I think the Magnum's look good on Mustang92's car, but I dont think they would look as good on mine though....

I definately like those wheels on your Mach... the DDs are perfect on that body style!

As for the FR500's...I've always been a fan (just don't like the fact that Ford doesn't make staggered sizes ).......

Thanks...it was about 5,000 ft. up on the Cherohala Skyway (near the Tail of the Dragon). It was either fog or I drove up in the a$$ of a cloud.

Thanks everyone I appreciate the compliments. I like the FR500s personally but I also liked the old school look of the Mach 1 and wanted something subtle but improved. Way I see the orange stands out enough and it doesn't need chrome wheels or anything crazy to make it stand out any more than it does.

I agree...the Mach has a more classic look than the regular 99-04 Stangs and the wheels you got compliment it greatly.
