Mach 5 wheels made by Matt Lee Engineering originally had the rim edge turned outwards towards the hub centre thus....

For a while he sold up and someone else tried making them but made a hash of it.

Matt Lee bought back the manufacturing rights and started producing them himself again.

Circa 2008-2009 the design was changed to the ones depicted in my post above with the outer rim turned inwards to the beaded edge.

Just prior to Matt Lee winding up the manufacturing of the steel rims due to too many people copying his design he made what was to be a final edition which had a flared centre and slightly flared spokes. It is this design that is copied most and as with the Challenger wheels due to width and offset look bl00dy awful IMHO also backed up by a fellow forum member buying a set and binning them within 24 hours.


Hello K9F I was about to bid on those and they have mysteriously vanished - another set passes me by....

Funnily enough there was another set up for grabs that also mysteriously disappeared. As stated they are really quite sought after and possibly they had an offer too good to refuse.
