Japanese Rims - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

CompBCurrie · 12-14-2007, 04:17 PM

Has anyone tried fitting japanese rims on their car? WedsSport's SA-70 is available in gold, looks like an STI rim and fits. I think the gold/azure would look really good.

MachGirl04 · 12-14-2007, 05:14 PM

Nooooo, Daaaaannnn.

R.Shackleford · 12-14-2007, 06:06 PM

I'm guessing you saw them for closeout on Tirerack? I did too. If you like the color they would be one of the better wheel choices you can make at 19lbs for a 18" wheel. The look would be subjective... I'm personally not so sure about the gold rims.

hahahahah gold wheels, how retarded on a rustang

um yes gold and blue look good together but not on a mach! keep japanese stuff on japanese cars, ditto for american stuff, got to keep it in the right family!

CompBCurrie · 12-16-2007, 12:08 PM

Haha, everyone's knocking this idea except the road racer....I like the idea of saving 6lbs per wheel over something like a bullitt or FR500.

Who knows, with the mach's stock 4x4 ride height and the blue/ gold combo I could make myself an American WRC car.....

Ha! Yeah, you're right. I'm good at that.

I totally understand less weight for the wheels, but i think it's primarily the gold that got me going. Hehe, sorry 'bout that!

R.Shackleford · 12-16-2007, 01:32 PM

It could actually look pretty good, they're bronze not actually gold, I think it would give it a racey look. BUT, you're guaranteed to hear a lot of sh*t about them from the Mustang crowd. So that's something to consider, whether or not you care what people will think and say.

G · 12-16-2007, 02:29 PM

Perhaps blue wheels, like the Trans Ams.

:LAUGH:

JDLM · 12-20-2007, 10:41 AM

Yes I have seen some

Works
Volks

all depends on style of the wheel

And fwiw: Mustang owners are too closed minded or they want some cool bullitt wheels like every other mustang on the road

Such sheep I tell ya

There are so many cool wheel choices out there ( Cobra R's, bullitts, Mach deep dish, etc), I don't see why anyone would want to go with gold rice wheels. Not wanting rice on your Mach is not being closed minded. It's called having good taste.

R.Shackleford · 12-20-2007, 07:38 PM

Yeah lightweight race wheels are so rice! Why would you want them when you could have heavy made in china replica wheels???

fiveliter · 12-20-2007, 08:18 PM

I'm sure that if you look you can find American made lightweight race wheels that dont look like they're straight out of the movie Fast & Furious.

bah?

doingMach1 · 12-21-2007, 05:05 PM

Everyones got an opinion....you know, kinda like...well, you know.

Personally, I think whatever wheels YOU like are the ones you should get, at least until someone else is going to fork over the money to pay for them.

I totally agree...Come on people step outside the box. I love not looking like the guy sitting beside me at the traffic light. But that's just my $0.02

Reloaded · 12-23-2007, 03:07 PM

Hopefully Bullitt784 doesn't mind that I used his car for this. Just a quickie but you can get an idea of what it looks like.

doingMach1 · 12-27-2007, 10:09 AM

Those look nice...I wish the blue accent in the wheels stood out some more. Also, do they make those in black, with the blue?

CompBCurrie · 12-27-2007, 06:52 PM

thanks for the photoshop, I like that look a lot

DTMach1 · 12-27-2007, 07:11 PM

that's a good chop...wheels look pretty good...go for it...just not in gold...

Reloaded · 12-27-2007, 07:24 PM

No prob. Thanks.

nasty04mach1 · 01-15-2008, 03:15 AM
