PP1 wheels are 32lbs a piece. My 19x10.5" Japanese-made wheels are 9.8kg (21.56lbs) a piece. A lot of the common ones are lighter. Ford makes a heavy OEM wheel. And I'm confident mine are stronger than OEM.
My summer set are 20x10 from SVE (flow formed, not forged) with 285/35r20 Continental ECS. I save +/- 5lbs on the wheels compared to the stock wheels and the tires are about a pound lighter than the Blizzaks that I run on the stock wheels. So I’m saving +/- 6lbs per corner in the summer. Not a ton but you can save a little weight going bigger than stock. You’ll see even greater weight savings in the 19” aftermarket wheels.
Hello there. You are correct about there being some good-looking options out there. And like the rest of us, trying to find a wheel that has the right balance to suit your specific needs is a tough one. I often wondered why the car makers just don't "do it right" from the start. And what I mean by this is, to equip these cars with a great-looking wheel from the factory. But, then there would be no need for aftermarket wheels. And then there is the topic of trying to find a wheel that provides Strength and Durability. There are many out there, and the prices vary. A lot of enthusiasts love the idea of getting a good wheel that checks off many boxes on their lists, but the sticker price can be very high. But you know, there are some options out there. And I say that because I have explored some. And the one wheel that stood out to me was the Project6GR Wheel Brand, it provided me with everything that I could ever want for an aftermarket wheel. I get it all with this wheel, Strength, Durability, Great Fitment, Custom Finishes, and the Price is right. It is a wheel that was designed specifically with your Mustang in mind and a lot went into its production. Decreasing the wheel's mass was a focal point, along with increasing the performance of your Mustang. The industry is heavily saturated with aftermarket wheels, and something speaks to us all. This makes personalizing your car and dialing in the perfect fitment an enthusiast's dream.
Those really look like 2003-4 Mach 1 oem wheels.Thanks guys. Interestingly all 3 sets of wheels posted here appear to have small variations in design.
Also, is it just me or do these vaguely have a small resemblance to the old Mach1 wheels?
Doubt they are stronger unless you bought true foraged wheels at 1500-3000 dollars per wheel. Those flow forged wheels (fancy word. Play for a cast wheel run on a mandrel. ) Are "special." But sell well.
Spacers are often used with OEM wheels for cosmetic reasons, while many aftermarket wheels are designed for these cars with offsets that give a more flush fitment without them. Project 6GR, Apex, Steeda, and SVE are some examples. Not a discouraging factor at all if you pick the right wheels.
