They are 18" wheels. Yes it is a real ram air hood. And yes, having a real saleen or cobra is much better than having a clone. But this is by no means a clone. I only ordered the saleen brand stuff because it had all the appropriate mesh grating I wanted to achieve my desired look. Plus I didn't blow tons of cash on an overpriced show pony I would cringe over everytime I modified away from stock. I've deleted all the badges and made it a point not to put any saleen decals or badging on the car.
