I ordered a set of Saleen wheels recently off ebay, the guy told me everything was fine and that he just took them off his car because he wanted chrome. Well since authentic Saleen wheels are hard to come by used I bought them for $700. They are for a 94-98. When the wheels arrived I had already bought tires for them and when I went to get them installed the tire place did 3 but the 4th had a crack in the spoke all the way through. I am now stuck because Saleen no longer makes these rims, I cant find them on ebay i need a front one not a back one, no other places have these wheels, I guess if anyone with a 94-98 Saleen is in a wreck or curbs a wheel real bad they are out of luck. Does anyone know any place I could check with that might still have some of these, all repair places I have called wont do them because its a crack in the spoke. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Wheels

Well to answer the first question, the guy said that the powdercoating was crackling a little bit and showed me a picture from the front side... you could barely see what it was he was talking about so I took his word it was in the powdercoating. I really wanted the real wheels, im not big on the replicas because like the previous post says the replicas are more like the 99+ style. When the wheels got here they had a 1/2 inch crack in the lip which he said was a nick (maybe paint missing i thought) and the crack you could see from the front, side, and back of the rim. I found a place that may do the repairs, I also found a place that has 2 Front Chrome 94-98 rims i might be forced to buy and then my painter said he could majorly sand blast it down and reppowdercoat it. In the meantime if anyone comes across a site that has that style wheel post it here for me. Thanks.
