Something tells me that if they didn't come out with a Bullitt, the Mach 1 would be much better received.

If Ford hadn't used the Bullitt wheels on the base model Mach1 it would have been better received and the Bullitt references be nearly non existent.

They are not Bullitt wheels. The Bullitt wheels are round and glossy, these are flat and matte.

The wheels are similar, but not the same. Note how the Bullit has a "ridge" in the middle of each spoke.

True but they are so close they say and look Bullitt not Mach1.

My picture program is very basic. If the spokes of the wheels had been silver instead of black it would have a magnum 500 wheel look. Maybe someone with a better photo editor can do it better.

It’s not the wheels, it’s the engine. Everyone wanted 500+. They were disappointed they all they got was the Bullitt engine.

Didn't they say the base wheels were 19 x 9.5 front and 19 x 10 rear? If that is so, it is simply the perfect size. The car I am looking at will be:

Blue
Safe and smart
3.55 axle
401A
Active Exhaust
A10

Hopefully the Mach 1 wheels will be lighter than the Bullitt wheels. At least, from what Ford says, it will be a track-capable car and therefore weight matters.

I doubt it because neither the base nor track model appear to have forged wheels - they'll be heavy cast wheels. I hope I'm wrong, but like the PP2, the wheels will be boat anchors. Light forged wheels on either of these cars, but especially the track pack car, will put them into a different realm and really complete the package.
