well i ordered new rims and tires back in july and one of my rear tires was placed on back order. after three months of staring at my new wheels and 3 tires it finally came today. i think i am going to break out the banana.
wheels are 18x9/18x10 black saleen reps with pirelli p-zero corsa's. 265/35/18 in front and 295/35/18 in the rear. i have test fitted a rear wheel to make sure it cleared my exhaust and panhard bar, and it does. i will mount the tires tommorow and put everything on the car. more pics tommorow.

Man, that's gonna look sweet. Black wheels on black cars just make them look mean. Gives it a sinister look.

So you're ditching the Mach 1's for Saleens? I can't say I blame you there.

i'll keep'em around cuz the pirelli's aren't a wet weather tire, and the machs have brand new tires.

i got done late and don't have any pics to show, but i can say i am very pleased. the tires are most deffinetly not for the get in and go driver. they take a good while to warm up, but when they do holy shnikies. i have never owned a tire like this before and i reccomend these to anyone who does not use thier stang as a daily driver.

sorry for the delay, i have been working late and the rest of the time i have been beating on those new tires. i love the tires, however as the wheels go i will prolly buy some deep dish bullits next time i buy tires. i just think it is too much black. i think i am also going to put coilovers on there too as the front seems to sit a little higher than with the 17's. the strut brace and dizzy are tommorows activities.

Damn Ben. I think it looks like sweet. Of course I'm one to do everything black. I'd love to see what they look like on my car. I always thought black saleens were tight but i've never seen them in person so I'll have to check yours out when I come home for good in a month. And get your windows tinted already.

i know it, i'm just lazy and i would have two rear window to tint. honestly i think the rims would look better on the gray car, which i bought them for. who knows i might be selling these, i see you got some coilovers for sale there.
