Black 5-spokes? - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

and1bbaii7 · 12-11-2006, 05:16 PM

Anybody have any pictures/suggestions of a nice set of BLACK 5-spoke rims, preferably with a chrome lip

I've been looking for lightweight rims but can't find any affordable ones that I like the looks of...
So I've decided to settle for anything BLACK 18x9.5 to 18x10.5 with a polished/chrome/even red lip and under $400 per rim
Only one's I've seen on mustangs were Torquethrusts/Bullits which I am not too fond of, since they are very overplayed where I live

Suggestions.pics greatly appreciated, thanks!

and1bbaii7 · 12-11-2006, 05:20 PM

I do like the saleens too, but I want something with a lip

64valves · 12-11-2006, 05:24 PM

hmm I think I like the FR500's best, although I've seen many of these wheels before and they haven't really struck me, so to speak
I was looking at some wheels like iForged 5 but those are a bit too pricey, and I just came across TSW Nogaros which I really like, but they don't make them in black and I can;t find any pics on a mustang

I like the looks of those.

MoCkiN U · 12-11-2006, 06:56 PM

the wheels I got come in black

and1bbaii7 · 12-11-2006, 07:10 PM

my god AREA51
those are exactly what I'm looking for
Please tell me they aren't expensive and come in a 9.5-10.5 width for out back?!?!
...and a link please

and1bbaii7 · 12-11-2006, 07:16 PM

not link, I found them on Next.com
I meant post some pictures

MoCkiN U · 12-11-2006, 09:26 PM

They are 18X9 at their widest. tHey have a 35 offset so you will need a 3/8" spacer to clear the brakes in the rear and a 5/16 spacer up front to clear those since the rotor is bigger BUT I got mine for $1200 with tires. The tires they send you are tooo tiny so swap out the rears when you get them. Click the link in my signature for pictures of the wheels so not to whore up your whole thread. I ran 18X9 all the way around the car. That 3 1/2" lip looks mean all around

P.S. I just posted mine up for sale too fyi

and1bbaii7 · 12-12-2006, 06:53 AM

Hmm I like the rims, but what exactly is a spacer--where do you buy them? Are they hard to install?
Also, do they come with a smaller lip for up front, then the 3.5 out back?

Well some extend the studs out so you can mount the wheel w/o rubbing

EIBACH makes some spaces

MoCkiN U · 12-12-2006, 12:40 PM

standard wheel spacer goes between the rim and the studs, its cake

JDLM is talking about hubcentric ones

which work in the same way but have their own studs for safer installs. you wont need one this big on the front but I do have these on the rear.

they have a 8.5 or 8" width for a staggered look if thats what you want

and1bbaii7 · 12-12-2006, 02:14 PM

OK thanks!
I'm not a fan of the deep dish in front, however
Do they make them without such a large lip for the front?
Or any other rims similar to this where I can get a larger lip out back?

hmm Eibach spacer was not a hubcentric ring, I mean it could have pulled double duty but that is not how they are packaged and sold fwiw

MoCkiN U · 12-13-2006, 10:52 AM

^ im confused. what do you mean?

standard spacer

hub centric

how are the eibachs different?

and1bbaii7 · 12-13-2006, 05:57 PM

I just found these rims...they are incredibly cheap
Opinions?
