When I do the 5lug swap im more then likely getting weld prostars, but I would love some mach1 rims for street duty.

IDK ill probably put a rollbar in first. This car isn't a DD, and more of a race car. But we shall see.
I wouldn't keep the knock off Cobra caps. My buddy bought knock off FRPP FR500's for his Mach and they came with these ****ty center caps, so he swapped the stock pony caps into the FR's and put the knock-offs in the Mach wheels.

This is not his car but this is his wheel color and body color(Azure Blue) combo. Looks good but the problem with black wheels is that your eye has trouble making out the shape of the wheel. You lose some of the wheels three plain dimension.




I think his car would look much better with an authentic silver set.

I don't really like Chrome on any wheel besides drag wheels.
