The Vapor meets the Dark Horse (wheels!)

[anticubicle]

Well, finally got the wheels mounted today! It's been eating me up having them sitting in my room but thanks to Tedd @ TMS I got a nice set of skins for em' +1 to Tedd!!! TY.

the setup:

20x9 Saleen Dark Horse Chrome with 255/35/20 Toyo Proxie 4
20x10 Saleen Dark Horse Chrome with 295/30/20 Toyo Proxie 4

and the pics. Sorry, nothing great. I just shot them really quick (no tripod handy) and spent 10 minutes in Photoshop on each.

Hope you like.

Nice. How do they hook up though? I thought they were pretty a hard compound tire. On a side note, what kind of camera do you have?

 

[anticubicle]

I dunno if they hook or not. If they don't*— no biggie. I dont street race much and I have ET Streets for the track

Nice camera, I need to start learning how to use Photoshop. Thanks for reminding me.

Those rims really set the car off. Nice choice. Do they make them in any size other than 20"?

Those are badass on your car! I hear ya on whether or not the "street" tires hook or not as it's mainly about the looks!

I like the Proxes, I have them on my car as well. They are not a tire made for drag racing but good in the rain untill they start to get below half tread then they get a little squirlly.

Those wheels look awesome. What did you do with your old ones? Didn't you have american racing before?

 

[DarkFireGT]

Looks good Anti.

I sold them to a fella from MustangCollective. They were the Premium Package 18" ones.

Blang Blang!

I like them....

Did you just add 200lbs. of unsprung weight to your car?
Does it feel slower, and harder to stop/turn?

For one, these are definitely not as heavy as most 20's. I compared them to Shelby Razors when I picked the wheels up and the Razors felt like they weighed a ton compared to mine.

Secondly, yes. It feels slower but that's why I have track wheels.

Besides, I told myself "Once I hit 11's I'm working on appearance mods for a bit".

 

[NastyStang113]

How much do they weigh?

 

[anticubicle]

Dont have the weight. Will have to ask around.

But let's put it this way....

A lot Lighter than 20" Shelby Razors
Not much heavier than Premium Package 18" Bullits

What chin spoiler are you running? Your car looks super sharp! Congrats on the new wheels.!

 

[walter]

If I was to guess he's running a steeda carbon fiber unit..... right?

 

[Preston951]

Nice! Those looks great!


Wherever you took those pictures really set off your car, too!

If I recall....the Saleen "Heritage" wheels in 19" flavor....were forged. There is a good chance that Saleen may forge some of his other wheel designs. This would be the reason why they felt lighter than the Razors, which are cast aluminum.

I think 20's "look" great on this car, but I can't bring myself to reduce my performance at the expense of looks. I won't be building a HP monster anytime soon, just going with basic bolt-ons....so I want to keep as much HP as I can. Thus, forged wheels in 18" flavor will be chosen....whenever I can get the $ to do it.

these cars i feel were made for 20's they look so good but not baller big and crazy they fit awesome in the wheel wells. to often cars with 20's look like wagon wheels
