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.

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

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

I see your point but I never liked the "mach wheel". Even before I bought my car I was looking at other wheels. I got rid of them as soon as I could. Ended up with the the cobra "R's" because I just like em. I guess it's all a matter of personal taste. I also pulled the hood stripe and changed the side stripes to where they don't "fade" just before the rear wheel.

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

True to a point. Ford did put the Bullitt style on the 01 Bullitts and the 01-04 GT models (or whatever the years were), but they didn't put the Bullitt style on the Mach, nor did they put any Cobra style on the Mach


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"

Cool 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!
