Before it had 225 in front and 235 in back. The new 235 front and 275 rear look a lot better, to me. Those wheels that were on there when I bought it did not look right at all.
Looks way better in my opinion!! Thmbsup Did it change the way the car rides down the road?
it looks greatSSig_goodjob wonderful car!!!
I won't get to take it for a ride until tonight, but am hopeful!
I did find out when I pulled the wheels off that I have disk brakes in front!
Definite Improvement!

You're right - the poor car did not look right before. Now, watch out Stewart County Tennessee!
I just think cars from this era need to have what came on them, when they have aftermarket wheels it just changes the look so much and in my opinion give it a odd look.
I had American Racing Torque Thrust II's on mine and it looked pretty good but deep down I still wanted the Magnums.

I know that in '73 the Magnums were not a factory option, but they are still correct for that time, and look better to me than the alloy option wheels available in '73. Back in the late 70s, we all ran Cragars, Keystones, or Magnum 500s, no matter the brand of car.
It is hard to beat how the Magnum 500's look on the Mach 1. Not sure if you can. I have Shelby 10 spoke on mine (that's what it came with) just wish they had a widder rear rim.
A definate improvement in the looks department. I found mine scrubbed the guards on the front when I turned into driveways with the 235's but yours looks higher in the front than mine is.
WOW looks like a totally different car.
