Re: 10th Anniversary Cobra Wheels
The 10th anniv wheels are sharp. They have just the right mix of polished areas with dark spokes in my opinion to not be too subtle.

Re: 10th Anniversary Cobra Wheels
i agree that they only belong on the cobra because those wheels are horribly ugly lol.

Re: 10th Anniversary Cobra Wheels
ME
I will never put on another Mustang's model parts on my Mach. Do I have aftermarket parts on it now = yes, but not anything from a GT, Cobra, Saleen, Roush, etc. To me, putting Cobra wheels on a Mach is no different than the guy/gal that owns the v6 that puts Cobra snakes on it, or that puts type R emblems on it, or that owns a 1/2/3/4LT package Corvette that puts Z06 or ZR1 wheels on it. It's sacrilege IMO. I guess that I just have an old school very conservative view point on it

Re: 10th Anniversary Cobra Wheels
Yeah do what you want to do. For sure post the pics of your car before and after for us though. I put '99 Cobra wheels on my '00 GT because I never cared for the GT's wheel all that much. My co-worker had put a complete Saleen package on his '99 Cobra including wheels. I also had a set of the Bullitt wheels for the GT too and still have those down in the basement here. Nowdays it's hard to find a 'stock' car especially in the world of Mustangs. If I had the money I'd drop in a Ford GT engine in the Mach 1 and call it good!

Re: 10th Anniversary Cobra Wheels
I have them on my car until I can get of AFS 17x9 Mach's they feel a lb or 2 lighter then the OEM mach wheel while being 1in wider.
Where is the down side?

Re: 10th Anniversary Cobra Wheels
Hard to agree with that when Ford themselves do it. I believe the Bullitt-style wheels were standard on just about every mustang gt after 2001. And the 1994 stockers sure do look like the 93 cobra-R wheels

Re: 10th Anniversary Cobra Wheels
Nope, don't hate it at all. It's enjoyable to see what people do
I respect everyone's right to choose their own style, but I find it hypocritical that some (maybe not you, or you, not calling you out, I have no idea on what you comment on) make fun of ricers for putting type R crap on, or put on appearance parts from other models, but don't do the same for Mustangers. It's all the same to me. Mis-badging, aka false advertising Quote:
Like I said above, each to his own, and I respect everyone's right to choose what they want..... but mis-badging is a no-no in my book, and I will never perpetrate my Mach to ever have another Mustang model's parts. I never want anyone to look at my Mach and wonder why I have GT or Cobra wheels or whatever the part may be I am probably the only one who thinks this way, and so be it. You choose to put on Cobra wheels, I chose to never "mis-badge"

Re: 10th Anniversary Cobra Wheels
If you like them then get them for your car. I like my Ford GT wheels and the Fr500 are also a favorite.

Re: 10th Anniversary Cobra Wheels
Wow, those wheels look fantastic on our cars! I really like them on the DSG car. If the DSG Mach 1 had stripes to match the wheel color that would be an awesome combo!
