View Full Version : Wheel opinion for my 1969 Mach 1

I have had a hard time choosing wheels. I narrowed my search to True Forged basically because of the looks for the price. Fikse was a close second, but I am getting just too good of a deal from TrueForged. I am stuck between these 2 wheels.

The car is having air ride installed; I just ordered it this week.

I'm doing a 1" mini-tub in the back. Wheels will be 18x8 front and 18x11 rear

The car is pictured in my sig.

I like the stockish look of the Retro's but like the custom, pro-touring look of the Sleepers at the same time

TrueForged Sleeper with stepped lip, with or without assembly bolts

I like the look of the true forged without the hardware. If you dont mind me asking what are they getting for a set

I like the retro with the stepped lip. I think the classics muscle cars always look better with the stepped lip over the smooth lip.

I'd go with the Sleepers. As for the bolts, Idk. Maybe a someone can photoshop them onto a picture to help decide, I think they look good with them but it's hard to tell before they're on the car. I looked on their site, and I like the Speed Five, but that wasn't one of your choices lol :twothumbs

I agree, I am pretty much dead set on the stepped lips

I wish I knew how to photoshop. I like the way the bolts look in the picture of the wheels, they way they reflect off the lip, but I am worried it will look too busy.

Those retros are sweet! I like them with and without the stepped lip. Nice ride!

I just joined the forum because I am getting ready to give my 69 Mach 1 the pro-touring treatment; so I was obviously drawn to this thread. I too am looking at Ridetech suspension and also Control Freaks. However, I am going with coilovers and not air.
