Best Wheel Options for Mach 1

[elmach1]

The grey Lmr sve r350 would look nice on a mach 1?

I think @Mikepol2 has the wider PP2 wheels on his car so might be worth searching that out as I think it looks great.
These aren’t the optional non-HP Mach wheels that are the same design so will give you an idea of tyre height for those wheels on the HP spec tyres.

I went with HP wheels when I upgraded my car (we don’t get the HP option over here…) as I wanted to get as close to the full factory HP as I could.
Not easy to clean for sure but I’ve had worse!

nice I actually like his sp2 wheels in black. Looks nice as well. I’d probably stick with the graphite gray look.
Similarly for me, when I was looking for a Mach 1 in September of 2023, there weren’t many HP cars available and they were also a good $12k more. But now I find myself wanting to make a HP car.
Never heard so many complaints about cleaning a rim, can’t you just spray it down and use a good detail brush to get in all the crevices?

Dont forget that hp package tire sizes lower the car. I couldnt get in my driveway on the hp tires.

The satin finish of the HP wheels is a match for the mirrors / front bumper inserts / wing (if you have it painted grey) so that might be worth considering if you want to stay OE.

The wheels are a bit fiddly but a set of Wheel Woolies brushes and good quality cleaner works for me.
Properly cleaning the wheel barrel with the wheels on the car is probably the hardest part of the job but it’s the trade-off for the style I was happy to make, so no complaints here!

I do and thank you. They are a bit heavy but I went with them because they are the same widths and offsets as the stock HP wheels, and I wasn’t crazy about the stock gray wheels on a silver car.

I have p51s R spec with 315 square set up.

The HP wheels are basically the same as the PP2 wheels with additional pattern overlay. I don't think you can go wrong with either, but for my money the HP wheels look the best.

As for cleaning, once you ceramic coat the wheels, it's a non issue. I certainly wouldn't let that influence my decision.

Way easier to replace brake pads and never have to wash wheels again. Well, figuratively speaking.

Or get a bronze wheel that matches the color of brake dust.

I like the PP2s. I agree with those who commented on (the pain of) cleaning rims, keep it simple.

I like the PP2s. I agree with those who commented on (the pain of) cleaning rims, keep it simple. My previous 3 BMWs had alloy wheels. I'd hand wash the rims, drive 10 miles and they were coated in brake dust already. It's one reason I opted for the black rims on my new to me 2019 GT Premium.

SVE PP2 wheels are over played, think out side the box.

Some wheels designs are timeless, like the PP2. They will always look good, especially on 197's and 550's. Haven't seen them on a 650 yet, but they will fit.

Alright what are these? I don’t know the brand.
