I agree, now if somebody would give me enough for the complete set of mine, with stock apperance and no clear coat issues for the same amount LooKnGo wants for his eaton, I would think about it..

Lboy288 · 06-03-2009, 08:43 AM

how much you want? I just want the DD...

If anybody's interested in this, I would buy the fronts for a dollar so you can have the rear.

I wonder how much interest there is in the verde wheels. They are 10.5, but not paint matched like afs nor have a big of a dish as them.

Where can you get those? I may just do that seeing as I am going to powdercoat them anyways.

UIN2IT · 06-05-2009, 06:30 AM

I have got to find a set of these 17x10.5 Mach rims! IF ANYONE HAS A SET AND know WHAT THEY WANT FOR THEM PM ME!!!

ScreeminMach · 06-12-2009, 12:38 AM

Here are the latest emails to Julio and no response. I think that the guys that are saying that this is a pipe dream are going to be right. THIS IS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN. I am a very opimistic person, but I have to be honest. I'm losing hope. What do you think? I know that this is a long email, but if you take the time to read it, I think you will agree.

Julio, just over one month ago I started a thread on the Mach 1 registry website about the interest for the 17 X 10.5 Mach 1 wheels that AFS used to make. Now over 2500 people have viewed this thread and have GREAT interest in buying a set of these wheels with "cash in hand." I was on Ebay earlier today and saw that you DO make the 10.5" wide wheels but they are the 20" wheels. That is not the look that Mach 1 Owners want. Please visit the thread I started, http://www.mach1registry.org/forums/...ad.php?t=92661, and you will see that the vast majority of the people that stated that they wanted to buy a set of these wheels want the 17 X 10.5 with the stock, gray machined finish. If you made these wheels, they would SELL and not just sit there like the 3 sets of the 20" variety that are on Ebay right now. Also, to make them available without tires and in a pair instead of a set of 4, would also make them sell better. To sell them in sets of 4 would make your average sale higher, but if you offered them at a price that was discounted a little if you bought a set four, maybe you would find that the pairs actually sold better even though it was more expensive to buy 2 than it was to buy 4 on a per wheel basis. i.e.. 2 for $350 or 4 for $650. Please understand that I'm not trying to tell you how to run you business but I am a business owner myself and I know, like you do, that things are not as they used to be. It is harder to make a buck now than it has been in a long time but people are still willing to buy your product, you just have to know what product the public wants. Once again, please visit this thread and see for your self, the owners of Mach 1's don't want the 20"er's, They want the stock diameter, stock finish, just in the 10.5" width! This thread has been on the Mach 1 Registry website since 5-2-09 and as of right now has 2507 views and the only other thread that has more has been up since Jan of 06'. I'm telling you, this is a very hot topic and there are a lot of people that REALLY want these wheels! PLEASE MAKE THEM AGAIN or at least tell us when you are planning to start production on them or that you will not ever make them again. Please don't just leave us hanging!

Thanks in advance for making people smile when they look at their awesome, AFS wheels,

John

Julio, I just thought that you might want to know that in 1 day, the number of views went up by over 100! There is a lot of interest in these wheels. The 17 x10.5 in the gray machined finish, not the 20's! Make them and they will sell!

Sincerly,

John

vtecDIS · 06-12-2009, 01:20 AM

personally i think promises to pay has more barring then how many views.. like i said earlier, it there were some kind of deposit... that means cash up front... it would motivate them more more...

lucky for me tho, i found someone here on the Reg that I was able to pick them up for $780 shipped

i should get them this 16th.. man i cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!! this is my bday present to me

4a7191a · 06-12-2009, 01:22 AM

hell i would be happy with nine inchers with stock finish at this point in time.

There are some 17x10.5 and 17x9 on Ebay with tires that are going
$1200 obo. It ends in about 13 hours so if you want them you should bid on them so you don't forget.

shanesmach · 06-15-2009, 05:45 PM

(2) 17x10.5 machined gray

If they ever make them I'll take two sets, just because they made them if they ever do make them.

Super Duty · 06-23-2009, 07:10 AM

Ill hunt a set down somehow/someway but I definitely would buy a new set from AFS. I have no complaints about their product as I have a set of their staggered Black Chrome Bullitts on my 02' and love them!!!

spy23714 · 06-23-2009, 07:26 PM

Americanmuscle.com has some decent replicas for pretty cheap...for anyone who' interested.

Brain · 06-26-2009, 10:47 PM

My wife wants me to buy new tires for my car but I have been holding out hoping to get some DD 17x10.5 in fatory finish
