Does anyone know if BBS Plasma’s come in brushed aluminum? The vast majority of photos I’ve seen show them to be chrome. But in those photo they’re brushed and look great on this Mach.

Someone on these forums is selling s staggered set of the RK's that require refinishing. Only thing to remember with those wheels is that the fronts are only 8.5" wide and the rears are 10.5". I love them but started looking at different sets because I want more tire than an 8.5" can take up front. Got me thinking if a 10.5" square setup would be possible thoughPlasma is one of the colors. RK is the wheel you posted. If you're lucky enough to get your hands on a set of RKs you can always paint or powdercoat them to your liking. Plasma is the most common color I've seen and is what you posted.
anything is possible, but i wouldnt go 10.5 on the front. im running an 18x10 on the front and under full lock turns it will rub the inside of the plastic fenderwell splash guard. its not bad enough to be damaging and im almost never turning that sharply, but going even wider is not something i would consider.Someone on these forums is selling s staggered set of the RK's that require refinishing.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too actually, 10.5" square is pretty aggressive. I'm currently running a staggered setup, and coming from the Euro scene I have always favoured staggered looks-wise. Despite this it seems as though square setups are optimal for handling on these cars if you wish to take back roads and curves. Maybe a 10" square setup will have to be the objective then...anything is possible, but i wouldnt go 10.5 on the front. im running an 18x10 on the front and under full lock turns it will rub the inside of the plastic fenderwell splash guard. its not bad enough to be damaging and im almost never turning that sharply, but going even wider is not something i would consider.
Go staggered and don't look back. The New Edge has a big butt, and it needs a wide tire.I see. I’ve thought about it and I think I might pass on them. I like a squared stance so I doubt they make them in 17X9 or 10. So I’ll just go with either wider reproductions or some weld wheels.

Says the guy running 17×8 on all four corners.

I ran 17x9 and 275 up front for years. No rubbing at all.With 275 up front I would look into a 03/04 cobra rack as it has internal limiters to keep from rubbing. I have the 17x9 and 17x10.5 mach 1 replicas by afs on mine.
I’ve considered it. I’d love to find an 00R rack, but those are unicorns.With 275 up front I would look into a 03/04 cobra rack as it has internal limiters to keep from rubbing. I have the 17x9 and 17x10.5 mach 1 replicas by afs on mine.
Thanks for the tip. I’ll look into them.Steeda also makes limiting clips if you ever need them anyways.

Good to know about sizing on the RKs! I had misinformation but it makes me happy to hear that they are 10"s. Now maybe I can track down a square set...Hah! That's my Mach! Old photo too. Glad your restoration is coming along nicely . . . and RKs are 18x10, not 10.5.

Again Sublime’s Mach is basically what I want to do to mine. My last piece of the puzzle were the wheels. I narrowed it down to 4 and seeing the CCW’s on his car sold me. I plan on having the stock graphics on the car, and a black terminator spoiler. So the decision on if I’ll have the spokes black or chrome still remain to be determine. But the size will be 17X9’s squared. I’ll have to check the back spacing on them as I’d like to have some 00R Brembo’s on the front.

Looks like a Terminator with a Mach shaker and sail panels, and an air diffuser on the rear bumper.
Is that garage door trim under the 03/04 side skirts?
