Post your Black 97-98 Marks with aftermarket wheels

[91 LSC SE]

They are discontinued, they looked cool but too narrow anyway... If you are gonna get rims for a big body like a Mark VIII get 19's or 20's, 17's and 18's are too small these days...

I love my 18's. looks perfect on a lowered mark. If i wanted big rimz id buy a 74 caprice.

I agree completely! 18's fit the M8 perfectly. Many a rim manufacturer and tire shop have told me that you loose performance/handling/ride, once you go beyond 2 inches higher than stock, unless you completely re-due all suspension components. I have seen a couple of 20's that I thought suited the M8, but still looked a bit large for the car, just as most do on other style of cars as well.

I've gotten word from several people, 2 of which are mechanics that these DOHC 4.6 liter engines were originally designed by Ferrari in 1989 & in some type of deal with Ford, Ford was able to purchase the designs. It took them a few years to decide how they were going to approach the public with this new engine so they decided to start out with our Mark VIII's so low & behold, the 4.6 plattform came about. Not only that, these engines are supposedly good for 220,000+ miles.

220,222+ Miles. Now that is Sweet! And Then Some!!

Not mine - one that was for sale in my area in 2008 and done sweet.

A 1998 with 20's by 10inch Foose style wheels. For the record, these are the only 20 inch, I've seen that do not look too big for the M8.

For me I would want the same deep dish all around and polished - this is a matter of preference.

17 and 18 arent too small. Its all about your taste. Mine are 16 and I love them. Anything over 18 looks ghetto and trashy. But thats just my opinion.

Yes, stay orginal , car is worth more money with orginal mark wheels. Rides softer too than boney wheels

I did not lose any ride quality with my 20" wheels and I kept the oe rims which can be installed at anytime since I did not swap hubs. I get compliments on the car and wheels almost daily. TO EACH HIS OWN!!!!!

These look sweet and not too big for the M8. The lip on the rear looks amazing! I didn't see this when first posted.
