Avoidance would be my advice.

They are not Mach 5s IMHO. 7 X 16 as far as I am aware was never a standard option but could have been made as a one off. The flared spokes don't look right but are a prominent feature on Challengers. Challenger wheels have an horrendous offset of ET 25 whilst Mach 5s ET 0. The edges are not right either as the ones depicted in the ad are similar to the first generation of Mach 5s but they had a round centre not flared. Below is a representational picture of the last generation of Mach 5 wheels which were 8 X 16s with the flared centre and below that a picture of an original first generation Mach 5 with a differing edge.....the first picture does have flared spokes but nowhere near as prominent as the ones in the ad. They are most certainly not a Matt Lee production as the welds look like they've been applied by a butter knife too, another trait of Challengers I'm afraid.
