Roush 99-04 Saleen Wheel question

[philmiup]

Are the 99-04 Saleen wheels, forged or cast??

Saleen parts dept told me it is forged, is it true??

Anybody know the weight of the genuine Saleen wheels vs the replica wheels?

 

[Saleen87-65]

the weight is the same from what i've been told, but the replicas are a better wheels b/c the chrome and stuff doesnt flake off like the real ones (kind of sad)

is sad how genuine Saleen wheels lack quality control.

There is a big price difference between the genuine and the knock off.
Most likely I will end up buying the replica Saleen wheels.

Anyway are they forged or cast??

I heard forged are lighter than cast.

the real saleen wheels, and fake saleen wheels felt heavier then my 18x9 steeda ultralites, dunno if that matters to you lol

They are cast. If you call Saleen and ask them questions about anything before 2005 they don't know sh*#.

The replicas are better quality, cast and chrome than the Saleen wheels. The fronts are good but be careful because the offset on the rear 10's are a bit different and stick out a bit farther than the Saleen 18x10's so a keen eye will be able to tell the difference.
