Patrick it is nice to see a 05 with custom wheels already. I am looking forward to see what the people on the site start doing to "personalize" their cars.

I went with the FRPP Magnum 500's in chrome, they fit great!!
Wow, the pix there (and on the FRRP site) look very different from the Magnum 500 pix I've seen elsewhere, but these are the stock Ford, so I guess I have been mistaken.

The "Magnum 500" wheels used on the Mach1 are a modern rendition. Every other Magnum 500 I've seen has a very closed face, in black, wiht small slots for air.

Much better (airflow) than I imagined. Cool.

Jason....and everyone else commenting on the Magnums.....here's a pic with them on mine. I love 'em, real retro look and alot of positive comments. They're 17's 'cause I wanted to stick with stock rubber (and the price of the things really limited the spare change I had to buy new tires anyways).

But....to each his own. As for the comments on brake cooling, yup they get hotter than the stock wheels when you're braking hard but I've found a solution for that......just drive faster and the h.e.l.l. with slowing down!!

Anyways, good luck with your search,

Mark.

They're from Wheel Vintiques (www.wheelvintiques.com) in California but I ordered them through Wheelmasters in Calagary.
