Opinions on wheels

[ProjectRedMark]

I want to put different wheels on my Mark. I like the directionals on it now and they are flawless but just look too plain to me. I like the octastars and the speedstars. I have a lead on a set of octastars that are supposed to be near perfect condition. I would have to find speedstars though. I have pretty much limited myself to these options because I don't want to do the hub swap. I just can't make up my mind which would look better on my car with the cordovan paint. So I'm opening it up to the experts! What do you think?

Looks like Speedstars!

20 inch speedstars, or akuza creepin wheels like mine

For that color, chrome speedsters is what I would go with. I have 0-Stars, 10 spokes and 20 spokes and snowflakes. 0-Stars are going on my 95 this weekend if the rain will ever stop.

what size speedstars

what size speedstars

Probably 18". I don't want anything bigger than that. I really would like a 17" but I haven't seen any that small. Wow I can't believe not a single vote for the octastars so far!

I think I'm the only O-star lover here lol. I just like to stay with OEM Lincoln rims, even though they are Gen 2 rims, they still belong on a Mark and in my opinion, they look better than any other stock Mark rim.

I very much like the look of the 03/04 Cobra type wheels on the Mark VIII. (polished or powder coated black) I think they are 17''?

I think so too but I don't want to do the hub swap. If I was going to do the sway I would use the
Bullitt style wheels or something like Geno had on his.

Pretty sure that username baggedtaco from thecustomwheelshop.com is doing the 03 Cobra wheels for our bolt pattern / offset.

Im building a 03 Cobra 17X9 Polished finish in the correct specs and stock bolt pattern. They are almost on shore as I was updated yesterday. Should be available to ship in a few more weeks.

THANK YOU!!! Now I have another option. I wasn't really thrilled at the idea of and 18" wheel. I like a nice smooth ride and a lot of the roads around my house are rural and pretty beat up. The big wheels would end up cracked or bent for sure. I think 17"s could work though. Still really like the octastars though

Brad has bullitts, speedstars, cobras, & several other wheels in our bolt pattern.

And he does have the speedstars in stock, even though they're not listed on the website. His website's still under construction. Just call him, SUPER nice guy to work with, and great prices too.

Best choice in your poll is the Speedstars, lol

 

[kustomizingkid]

Speeeeeeed Stars!!!!!

 

[UltimateSVT]

Cobras or speedstars!

 

[ford nut]

I like speedstars but like my 18 cobras
Or I think there mine

 

[slowmkviii]

I would vote for octastars but 17 or 18s are a must so you can
upgrade the brakes

 

[MediumD]

Well if you upgrade the brakes, you might as well do a hub swap while you're at it and have eleventy billion wheels to choose from...

 

[XLRVIII]

Or I think there mine

lol i want to borrow them next!
