I need your opinion on wheels!

I have an 06 Saleen Extreme in tungsten grey with the scenic roof. It came stock w/ the 7 spoke wheels which i do not care for. Im looking at getting a different wheel...which do you guys think?

This is my car now...

This is a mustang w/ the other wheels i might want the Toxins (a 20" version of the 99-04 saleen models, only slightly different lip)

What do you all think? there is more pictures of my car in my profile i think.
 
Have you seen the optional 5 spoke forged saleen wheel? they are very attractive. You may be able to setup some sort of a trade

Of the 2 shown above, i would go with the ones on the yellow that have the BBs look. Very nice.

Yes i have seen them. I am really involved with saleen. I do alot with them and have even been in board meetings with Steve Saleen...trust me, ive seen the 5-spoke forged wheel before it even released lol. I never thought of doing a trade up w/ the 7 spoke, but who is going to do that? i dont know if Saleen will put my wheels on another factory vehicle. The reason i dont get the 5-spoke is due to the overwhelming price, although i do get 40% off! :lol:

Yeah, thats what im thinking...i like the ones on the yellow car too. Plus, you can put a Saleen center cap in them.
 
Prefer your stock wheels. :shrug:

In fact, I'm desperately in love with your car! :jaw:

The first set you posted are way too pimpmobile fussy for me :nono: and the second set way too plain :nonono: . I say that even though I have simple chrome 5-spokes on my s/c GT :rolleyes: .

I happen to like the Saleen 7 spokes even if they wouldn't be my first choice.:nice:
 
The perfect solution.....

It seems to me that you are having a real problem here with the decision of wheels for your car. I have the perfect solution, i am only doing this because i really want to remove some of the burden you are having in life right now. I guess though because of my Stangnet pure generousity, I will trade cars with you and you don't even have to pay me anything. I ve already gone through what you are going through and i know how tough it is. So what do you think?????

If it were my car I would have the 7 spokes painted a dark gray. I don't like chrome wheels much at all. The ones on the yellow car are way to bling bling for a Stang and the ones on the white car look better on the fox and sn95 styles.
 
i definitely like the HPD MSRs, but not in chrome. i had to find out the chrome thing the hard way—bought 20" AR rogues in chrome, only to blow $2500 again a month later for the same wheels in black.

i think a silver, graphite, or even "hypercoated" wheel would look sweeeeeet on your ride.
