Oxford White Wheel Selection Help - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

RCODES351 · 08-19-2011, 10:03 PM

I'm ready to buy a new set of wheels/tires. And I, like many before me, am having trouble deciding which ones would look best on my car.

I've narrowed it down to: 17" staggered chrome FR500s, anthracite FR500s, or 18" staggered Hypercoated FR500s, Black chrome FR500s, or Hypercoated GT4s.

If anyone has any opinions or experience with any of these on a white Mach, let me know your thoughts please. I'm also open to other suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

Well, I have a totally opposite car in color - but I think the black chrome would look good on a white Mach...

If I get the 18s, will the car look bad without lowering springs?

I don't think it matters wether you put on 15"s or 20"s the car will not look good till it's lowered but that is IMO.

Do you think it would look worse than stock though, as far as the wheel wells?

like said above. the rims will look ok, but without lowering it, it will not live to its full potential!!

I think 18s would look good with or without lowering it. Sure lowering it wouldn't hurt, but it'd still look sweet IMO.

I have 17s with stock ride height and wish I had 18s.
