2003 Mach wheels?
 
How many really like the wheels on it? I love the car but the wheel got to go.
If I got one (in red of couse) I would leave it totally stock.
Why?
Humm... nothing runs better like a stock Ford Mustang.

I can't wait to see these babies. Is anyone ordering ot planning on buying one? If so what color?

And (man I feel bad) what did the orignal Mach 1 put out in HP. 300
or 300+?

You know, the wheels don't bother. I kinda like 'em. It's that DAMNED WHEEL GAP that makes me wanna throw up. WTF?

I really dislike the new Mach 1 Magnum 500 type wheels. They look cheesy to me. The gap looks crappy as well, but I can deal with that. heh.

The original 1969 Mach 1 came with a couple different engines. The 351 was rated at 290hp@4800rpm, 385lb/ft@3200rpm. Or the 428 models had the 335hp@5600rpm, 440lb/ft@3400rpm.

Keep in mind, those were underrated, but they were also gross numbers.

WHAT?!?!?!?!? Those are the best looking wheels to come on a Mustang I've ever seen.

I don't think they are the best looking wheels on a Mustang, BUT I do like them the more I see them.

I'd have to see them in person to make a final judgement.

I like them...more than the Bullit/New GT Premium wheels.

Then again, with my rear drums, I think I'll keep my Pony's for the coverage!

Looks like a cheapy ricer hubcap if you ask me. If I got a Mach 1, the first thing to go would be those god awful things. What's with the 2" thick rim, and those tiny polished, flat spokes? My 5 year old nice draws nicer wheels on paper. There is absolutely no style in those wheels at all. Like having a car in the shape of a rectangular prism.

I like the overall design, but they are overly flat-looking, as someone observed JUST like a hubcap! The best looking Ford wheels have always had a flattering curvy shape :)

I don't care what anyone says. I'd put em on my stang in a heartbeat.:D

Agreed :D Anything but the "Me too Me too" wheels offered on the market. At least these are different

I'd put the old orig mag 500 wheels on it.
