Identifying original mach5 wheels
I'm trying to identify the wheels in this picture. The way the spoke is thicker where it meets the rim suggests its a copy, but the centre is round and not cut out like the copy/challenger wheels.
Can anyone shed some light?

Hi. I had some early wheels made by Matt Lee and the spokes were the same diameter at both ends and, like you have said, the centres were not cut out. MY15.5 110XS CSW

I did some further searching and just stumbled upon the raptor 4x4 wheels. Apparently their 16x7 et-25 mach5 copies are exactly like this. All photos I found of the original matt lee's indeed have straight spokes.

Side note: -25 is not as extreme as the -32 challenger wheels, but still a lot. Anyone here running et-25?

I'm running et-33 on 15x10s. You need wide arches with 35x12x15s Smile

These are Mach 5 bought direct from Lee just before he stopped making them.
