Those look great. Are they powder coated or painted?

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

Painted but I used what they call plastidip. They sell it at lowes. I used it on all my emblems except the ford oval

What kind of prep did you do on the wheels?

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

small difference, I changed the center caps for black for the total blacked out look.

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

I only ever seen this once before. Still dont know why more ppl don't do this, it looks so good. :thumbsup:

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

Yes you do! This picture kinda makes me want to put my wing back on...

Plasidipped Mach 1 emblem looks pretty good. Been wondering how that would come out but I'm far too lazy to try it myself.

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

Scuffed them, wiped down with alcohol, painted. Really easy.

Changed up my rims From chrome bullits to black chrome fr500 18x9 wrapped in 275/35/18 front, 18x10 DD wrapped in 295/35/18 back

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

Looks awesome man, I love the all black emblem look thats how my cobra is. I think your car would really be set off if it had black exhaust tips!

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

I took your advice on the tips. I ordered an overlay for my ford oval and that will be blacked out aswell then there will be no chrome on the car

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

Sweet man! Looks awesome. Oh 1 more thing maybe, get ya a blacked out ford emblem for the trunk, theres a guy on here that makes them they look really good and much better than an overlay I have one on mine.

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

The blackened tips actually look pretty good. Very nice.

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

sell me your rims please =)

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

My car is not a Mach 1, but here are few pictures of different wheels I have had on it (and body parts) over the 8 years I have had it... First two photos were a set of original 2003 17x9 Cobra wheels in the machined finish with grey inserts that I picked up from a Cobra owner who wanted something different. I ran Kumho Ecsta 275/40r17's on all 4. Then I added a pair of AFS 17x10.5 wheels with 315/35/17 Sumitomo HTRZ II out back in the last two photos (Sumitomo's were the worst tires I have ever owned, didn't last 10k miles). The old CD Stars & Strip Pony, Mach 1 Grill delete, Bullitt Brakes, Saleen Wing, and 2000 Cobra "R" Hood have been the constents on this car and they will always remain. The 2001 Cobra front bumper cover and fog lights were my first mod less than 3 weeks after buying the car brand new in August of 2003, but it is now gone (along with a full 2003 Cobra body kit) and the car is under going reconstruction again.

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

Here are a few more photos with my current "staggered fitment" 17x9 Shelby Razor rims with Polished lips and Anthricite Grey finished centers. The "staggered fitment" is because the front wheels were designed with a +40mm offset (6.6" back spacing) for the 2005-current Mustangs and the rear are +24mm offset (5.94" back spacing) for the 1994-2004 Mustangs. This offset pulls the front wheels in under the front fender just enough to mach the rears slight inset. These are wearing Kumho Ecsta SPT's 265/40/17 front (now a discontinued size by Kumho) & 285/40/17 rear. Now I am trying to decide what will be my next set of wheels.

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

Looks good sonicbluebeast.

Did you just take your side skirts off? Interesting, never seen anyone do that before.

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

Good eye, most people scratch their heads all day wondering why it looks so different, but yes the factory Side Skirts have been removed. The passenger side by some unkown object that I encountered while accelerating up an on ramp to the Interstate and the driver side by me; since I couldn't get a new one, have it painted to match and installed before attending a car show the next day.

By the way if any is interested I have a perfectly good driver's side factory Side Skirt, that I can make you an awesome deal on. :D

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

holy insano thats a huuuge improvement.. looks 10x better.. sweet and great call. The fr500's never get old if ya ask me. Im leaning towards them more and more. Now ofcourse in a perfect world i'd have ccw's but just so hard to brake the bank on them

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

What size are the wheels? Tires? Looks good. Can you get a better side shot? Thanks man! I'm in-between these and all black cobra wheels.

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

Nothing groundbreaking, but I'm loving them. Anthracite FR500's.

18x9 265/35-18 (I'll replace with 275's when they wear out)
18x10 295/35-18
Eibach Prokit all stock ISO's except lower front removed.

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

gamatt - those look freakin great!
I love em. Ive been going back and forth between the anthracite Fr500's and the Hyper color saleens.

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

Excellent choice on the Anthracite FR500's =) I love mine too!

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

Yes, your pics on the SVTP thread were my reference to see how they would look. :yes::CHEERS::worship:

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

I love the anthracite FR500's! :CHEERS:

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

Anthracites look amazing! Makes me want to get them. Then part of me wants to save up for some TF's.

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

If I had the coin for TF's or CCW's I would...but they cost so **** much!

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

Personally, if I had the coin for forged wheels, I would have bought a Terminator instead of a Mach1. Just sayin. :3:

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

Yeah...me too...but now my Mach is about the same as Terminator with the KB, IRS and all =)

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

Good point. If I ever do an Eaton swap, my tag will be MACHN8R

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

Power-wise they are nice, but personally I think Mach's are better looking.

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

That's already my tag :3b:

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

There are qualities of both that I like. For the Mach the shaker is probably the main thing. The ground affects, hood and mirrors on the Cobra really set it apart.

Don't get me wrong, if $10k fell in my lap right now, I'd drop a KB and IRS in the Mach instead of selling and getting a Terminator.

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

this may have been a retarted move i dunno yet...... but when i was over seas with the army i purchased some black chrome cobra R wheels for my DSG mach 1. the fronts are 17x9 and the back are deep dish 18x10. im worried after seeing some of the machs on here with the different size wheels on the back look fu**ing RIDICULOUS! IMO.... but i am a fan of a slight change in size. the tires are 245/45/17 in the front and 285//35/18 in the back. i was confident until i got on here and seen some pics.. what you guys think? yall think it will look good or no? in your honest opinions? if anyone has this set up plz post pics.:gears:

The 01' cobra front bumper :worship:

i dont know.. just love that bumper. Never see it nor do i ever see the freakin thing for sale.

Looks sweet dude. Im not sure ive seen theses wheels on a TR mach yet. I wonder how it would look. I need to step up my photoshop skills

Re: The Wheel Pictures Thread
 

My buddy bought wheels for dirt cheap for his 00 GT. Turns out they are 18x9 front 18x9 rear. Guy had 245/xx/18 on front and 285/35/18 rears. He just got all new tires over past few months. Went to a 275 tire in the rear(which looked much better on the rim) and kept 245 front. I think it looked maybe a little odd, but in part because the rear tire just didnt look right on that small of a rim(was a nitto 555). Really though, 245 front 285 rear wont look bad, a powerfull car isnt designed to wear same size front and rear.

However, if I'M gonna pay for a wider size wheel, better believe im putting a bigger tire on it vs the stock 17x8. A 17x9 wheel should fit a 255/40/17. If your so worried, sell the 245's(stock wheel size so should take a whole day to sell them) and get a 255. Then at least the extra inch width is put to good use.
