I got this prices from Fairway Ford in Boardman Ohio. They just need a vin from a Mach 1 with the handling package.

I think I'm going with wheels and tires from Tirerack, American Racing AR927, 9x19 and 10x19 with Michelin or Pirelli all season. Lots of other tire choices.I have the Non-HP Mach1 with the optional wheels. I know that I will need to get another set for the colder weather (located in NYC). What wheels and tires make sense and what is the spacer talk and changing the wheel size mean to me and the car (warrantee and accurate odometer reading)?
I have been looking at Velgen Wheels and their VRF5 wheels in Gloss Black 20x10 and 20x11 (size ?). If they make sense, then what tires to go for?
Thanks.
I wouldn’t go 20” diameter or that wide for winter wheels.I have the Non-HP Mach1 with the optional wheels. I know that I will need to get another set for the colder weather (located in NYC).

Okay. I will tell you that I won't be taking my beast on the road when there is snow or slush and will use Uber. Between slippage and salt, it just isn't going to happen for me. What do you think about VELGEN wheels though?I wouldn’t go 20” diameter or that wide for winter wheels.
It's a question of how are you going to stay within 3% of your original rear tire diameter if you go with 20"?Okay.

Use this calculator. This is why I'm sticking with 19".

Never had them but they seem to be popular. I wonder if you could get another set of the wheels you have now that someone doesn’t want. I think your current wheels just fit the car so nice. You could have a set with summer tires and one with all seasons or more winter oriented tires and be covered all year.Okay.

The wheels I have now are the optional wheels and I can’t imagine someone paying extra for them and then not wanting them. But, you never know.Never had them but they seem to be popular.

Just get second set of the same, you can get PP2 wheels for so cheap in USA. They're bit more black but otherwise look the same.What wheels and tires make sense
