Love my new wheels - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

I am so glad I went with the Anthracite FR500's. I think they are the perfect wheel for a DSG Mach 1. I got the 18X9 18X10 wrapped in Sumitomo tires.

Hpstang · 05-08-2015, 11:43 PM

VA-Mach1 · 05-09-2015, 01:39 AM

Looks good. I agree with you. I only like those wheels on DSG paint.

Very nice, Gary. I'll give you a heads up- they aren't as fun to clean as they are to look at.

BONESTOCK · 05-09-2015, 10:28 AM

Looks good. Now to lower the altitude to higher the attitude!

Nice wheels. I have black with chrome lips. But be warned from personal experience: Sumitumos=hydro planing. They suck.

TKat13 · 05-10-2015, 01:46 AM

Looks great!

Nekasrof · 05-10-2015, 03:41 PM

Very nice indeed.

Thanks!! No wheels are fun to clean. LOL Its really not too much worse than the original wheels though. Just a few more spokes to clean so it does take a little longer.

Thanks!! I read that on the reviews on these tires but I never drive my car in the rain so I should be alright. I am the original owner so I've had the car over 11 years now and it has only been on wet roads once.

That may happen next year. I have to save my money to buy a new car or truck this fall. My daily driver is getting pretty worn out.

Very nice, it compliments the car perfectly.
