I like before better

[Z28Envy]

They look great! Where did you have them done and what did they charge you? I am still looking at doing this.

[brewcity_mach1]

it was through a friend. i will call him tomorrow for information of the place. and it was 250

I think it makes the car look more aggressive - very nice!

[Poncho]

sweet, you ruined perfectly good wheels.

[CobraSnake]

ehhh I think its alright Andy. I'm just not a huge fan of all black wheels.

[spindler27]

i think it looks good both ways!

[MoCkiN U]

I like the wheels. Think the pic is bad and doesnt do justice. Putting a really nice rotor behind there will make them pop even better. rotorpros.com has good prices and i have them. no issues at all

i will have to look into that

[Poncho]

i woulda kept the lip shiny at minimum.

[05caddyext]

It looks alright I guess. Hopefully you don't regret doing that to original mach wheels when they are worth something in 20 years.

[brewcity_mach1]

i dont think those were the real mach 1 rims, werent the real ones 17 inch? these are 18's.... plus the black that was on there was really starting to peel away

[brewcity_mach1]

i woulda kept the lip shiny at minimum.

i really did think of that... ive seen a lot of rims where the middle was all black, and the lip was normal

[HAMRHEAD]

They look better now. Would look even better if the car were another color but they still look good. More aggressive.

[spindler27]

anyway to get rid of that orange in teh headlights?

[brewcity_mach1]

anyway to get rid of that orange in teh headlights?

ive seen a place that sells clear corner, or smoked head lights, never looked into that yet

[lit666]

I think it looks good.

[hrsp]

looks way better now...

[Reverend Cooper]

i like it its different

[RanJer]

I wouldve left the polished lip but still looks good. especially with the black mach accents.

[ponyride00]

They look bad ass.

[GTSLOW]

I think they look great! Flat black woulda been sick tho.

[77thor]

I liked them better before....

[xxsn0blindxx]

I think I like the original finish better, although I've never been a fan of completely black wheels. I really like these gunmetal deep dish Mach 1 wheels

[civic600]

i like it. i coulda powder coated them for cheaper than that.

[Yooformula]

I am pretty sure I saw his car on the road yesterday and it looked badass!!!!

[Mr Twigbert]

I'm not a fan of black rims.. To 'me' they look like you havn't cleaned them for weeks and are covered in break dust..

Buuttt, thats just me..

[Deggy]

I'm kinda in between liking them or not. They don't look bad, but I kinda am feeling the stock color.

[Slow Joe]

If they weren't real Ford Factory Mach 1 Rims, then no big waste, and it don't look that bad... Could just be the pic, but personally I don't like it... Maybe a polished lip, and polished edges (of the spokes) would make them pop more... IMO It blends too much...

[GTSLOW]

^^^ You sure those aren't black chrome?

I bet they are....

[STANMAN]

Look good to me, like Mock said, get some rotors, paint the calipers to match the body, and then they would REALLY pop.

[HP ADDICT]

I like them man looks way meaner.

it is what it is. customize it to you and what you like, but if you ask what others think on this board, believe me they will let you know

Ain't that the truth.
