A tad smaller than I wanted but I'll just have to make them work. They're 18x9.5 for the back and 18.8.5 for the front.



I tried the deep dish Bullitts but the tappered look just doesn't go right with the lines of the car. Anyone want my Bullitts for $499? Only 4 months old.

Scratch that.. Tah dah! lol. I sort of still like the original Saleen wheels the best but I want Deep Dish wheels also. So this is the closest Frankenstein I could come up with

me love!!! I too love the stock 18"s that I have but going to a wider 18 or 19" is tempting.

What did that cost you?

Nice rims.
But, no offense, now the car looks like a fake, the chrome gas tank cover doesn't help either, people spend hundreds of dollars to hide that thing, why make it stand out. Tint is also kinda ricey.

Looked better as a stock saleen.

To each his own There is something look-wise that's hard to beat about the stock wheels that I can't explain. But I want deep dish! *shrug*



Someone pointed out these wheels to me AFTER I made my purchase! These kind of look like a deep dish Saleen. Anyone know what kind of wheels these are?

You took that better than i was expecting, i respect that.

Why don't you see if you can do some type of saleen center cap for the new rims, IMO, that would go a long way.

.....Do you know how long it took me to finally realize that!!! I can't count how many times Brandi, my father and many other people were like" is that your mustang? No its not, so stop pointing out what you would do with it and shut the hell up! If that guy wanted your opinion, he'd pull you over and ask... Damn it!! I hate being not right

.....So I won't comment on how the tint looks, but I do love that idea of "deep dish" wheels. The HRE's that Dean had on his 96 Saleen Cobra were just plaining sick and all those NorCal guys love putting aftermarket wheels on there's and they all turn out pretty sweet looking. I'm sure George or Kev will chime in about that and might even post a picture or two of there wheels. Those wheels do look much better on your Saleen then those Buillet wheels did
