Picked up some afs 17x10.5's today - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

machdude · 05-16-2013, 06:21 PM

Since afs is here in so cal I went down and purchased some wheels today. So exciting! The finish is great and they match the stockers really well. The machined face stands out much more than the stock wheels do but I think that's due to age. I'm going to try and polish them out and if they won't budge ill just buy the 17x9's from them too.

I attached a pic vs a spare stock wheel I have.

Nice, I got my AFS wheels back in February. I am Saving up to get some tires now lol . What tires are you getting?

Code Orange · 05-16-2013, 10:15 PM

Nice. I've got 9's & 10.5's Great rims. Love the stock look. But bigger. Good luck.

machdude · 05-17-2013, 10:00 PM

Got them put on today and I must say I love it

Pic is At the tire shop.

Looks like Sumitomo HTRZs

perezmach1 · 05-18-2013, 06:56 PM

Looks good! I have been debating between sumitomo or nitto drag radials. I have delt with sumitomo tires before and didn't like them but never had a drag radial.

machdude · 05-19-2013, 02:34 AM

Sorry for not answering your question sooner but yes they're sumitomo htrz's. they were a budget tire and the traction has been ok but nothing spectacular. If you can afford a better tire I would go for it.

Mach 1 · 05-19-2013, 06:22 AM

Nice. Once you clean up front stockers they should match up perfectly.

machdude · 05-20-2013, 12:17 PM

Someone asked me for a side shot so here it is

Gazelch · 05-20-2013, 01:41 PM

nice, lowering springs????

machdude · 05-20-2013, 02:08 PM

Yes on eibach sport lines.

Derk · 05-23-2013, 11:43 PM

How much do the 17x10.5s weigh?

DSG2003Mach1 · 05-24-2013, 08:23 AM

love those wheels! ....enough so that I have two sets, one for street tires and another for DRs

if theyre still selling the ultrac sesanta (sp?) 315s Ive been pretty darn happy with mine and theyre very reasonably priced (or were a few years back when I bought mine).

I'm not sure what the weight is but they felt very close if not lighter than the stockers. I don't have a scale so i didnt check but I certainly was curious myself.

I can't see them being less than 30 pounds. I weighed a stocker at almost 25lbs. Add on 2.5" of more metal and it can't not gain weight.

spike281 · 05-26-2013, 04:59 PM

Great look!!!

blk 04 mach 1 · 05-27-2013, 04:48 PM

Love the Look I have had mine on for sometime now.... Thanks for sharing the pics!

imjustone · 05-27-2013, 11:05 PM

I just got mine a month ago, I absolutely love them!
You said you didn't like the sumitomoo OP, anything in particular you don't like about them?

ShakeMe · 05-28-2013, 09:58 AM

I just ordered a set of Vredesteins. Hope they live up to the hype.

03ABMach · 05-29-2013, 11:37 AM

Nice, I love my AFS 10.5 replicas. Keep the old school look for the mach, but give it a great shot from the rear.
