I'm torn between two sets of wheels...

One is a used set of 18" saleens, with tires, but the rears will need replacing soon. The Other set is a set of fr500 deep dish wheels in black with the polished lip.

I'm torn between what to get.

Vote in the poll and post comments, all replys welcome.

What color is your car?

Are the saleens the '99-up style? Are they silver painted?

Is tourmaline green different than regular green?


I got ahead of myself...saw saleens and fr500's DD and voted fr500's RIGHT away. Those are my wheels of choice if i get new ones...which wont happen.

Anyway, i would change it now....i think silver would go better with green. But...maybe u could find some green cars with black wheels and we can decide. I just think silver will compliment green a little better.

BUTTTTT now that i think about it, a car on campus, black bullits with deep dish in back, had a green 99+ with smoked headlights/taillights and a nice dark tint job. Looked pretty damn good.

POST UP PICS of your CAR!!!!!

Yea man...i mean u could do fr500's...smoked headlights...slight tint on the rear with Night shades...or maybe just some saleen tail light bezels or paint your own black. U already got the windows.....


I still think the saleens might edge out though. I like the contrast more then black/green.

Maybe hyperblack or whatever they are finish saleens with some smoked headlights? That would look good i think.

I don't really like the FR-500 wheels much... Dunno why everyone goes nuts over them

So Sleens have my vote.
