I love the black ones at the top. They look Bentleyesque. PERFECT.

I also like the black mesh LSC wheels better than the Mach1 wheels, they are more understated than the Mach1 wheels were are little over the top for my taste. I am going to post the Mach1 wheels up for sale, once I sell them I am going to use the money to buy better tires for the black wheels. I just need to figure our what size to get because these wheels are 16" rather than the original 15".

Thanks for the pic. I was just debating on a set on rims on ebay that look like the black ones. Now I know I want the black ones. They look great.

Could either of you post a link to the Ebay auction for those wheels you are referring to, I would like to see them so I can compare them to what I paid for mine Lincoln Mark VII LSC 5 lug black mesh wheels & tires.

I don't know if this helps, but my '89 came with 16" when I bought it, and it's running P225/50R16. They look good to me, and seem to fill out the wheel wells fine. No rubbing issues.

No rear disk brakes, I have the stock rear drum brakes.
