You should definitely put those poker skills to use when you buy your next car! Hiding my “tell” (in my case, how badly I wanted the car) and convincing the salesman I had an intimidating hand (showing him the other pre-haggled offers I’d made) is what caused him to fold and meet my price. So...

Thank you! The markups on Mach 1s have been absolutely insane lately. One dealer I contacted informed me his Mach 1 without handling package was a firm $82,000 and that “there’s absolutely no wiggle room on that price so take it or leave it.” For that price you can buy a Mach 1 from him or a...

I was in the same boat in June, contemplating whether to replace my 97’ GT with a new Mustang GT or Mach 1. I ultimately went the Mach 1 route and don’t regret it. Is it a night and day difference from a same-year GT with all the performance pack bells and whistles? Not necessarily. But I’ve...

Thanks everyone! Michelin seems like the safest bet but the Continentals sound like a good option as well.

Hi gang! After a lot of much appreciated advice on a separate thread I’ve decided to purchase the LMR SVR MHP1 wheels in gloss graphite. I love the way the graphite color gives a little extra pop to the intricate design. But now comes the part where I feel incredibly clueless: the tires. With my...

The graphite is a color I was heavily leaning toward if I go with that wheel style. Thanks for posting pics of your car—love the way the graphite pops and really showcases the intricate design without being overpowering. On a side note, I love the other custom touches you added from the orange...

I agree that silver looks great against some car colors and overly flashy on others. I also think the wheel design plays a big part. I’m coming to the conclusion that more unorthodox colors look better on simple wheel designs and basic colors get a lot of elevation from more intricate wheels...

Thanks to everyone that commented. A lot of the links to wheels you posted were exactly what I had in mind design wise. And I’m starting to agree that bronze on FJG may look better in theory than reality. I think simply ditching the stock/base model wheels will go a long way toward upping the...

Dayummmm! Those are awesome!

Ha! Well, it was obviously a tough choice between a Miata, a VW bug, a Fiat 500, a Nissan Juke, a Porsche Cayman, and a Mach-E but somehow I wandered down a car lot and miraculously stumbled on this. ☺ The only time I’ve ever wished this was a Mach-E is when I first saw my total at the gas...

My most memorable reaction was when I went to fill up the Mach 1 with gas and there were two men smoking a cigarette near the convenience store entrance, squinting at my car from a distance. “Is that one of those Mach Ones?” one of the guys asked his buddy. His friend craned his neck and...

Wow, that looks great! I love black cars with bright wheels. And the graphite wheel with an orange pinstripe could be a nice middleground for me.

Those look great!

I agree that the orange may be too flashy and that the bronze may add a bit of pop without being too obnoxious. I think I’m leaning toward going that route. ☺️

Ooh, yeah! I like that a lot.

You’re right—those are really nice. Something like that might look cool powder coated in a color that pops.

Hi there! I recently purchased a FJG Mach 1 and I love the exterior of the car but I think the basic wheels fall a bit short visually. I’d like to get a design in a shade that pops, as I’ve found many of the intricate designs on the black wheels are lost in the dark color. I was considering...
