well im getting some extra cash and i really like what wheels do for the looks of a car so i want your opinions ...i will probley buy the wheels then buy tires when i can afford them along the way...no big hurry since the cars not moving any time soon hahaha...

so should i get my chrome 18" saleens i have been wanting forever.

should i get a dd bullit i really am starting to like the looks of these on our cars
want chrome possibly black i cant believe i just typed that i think 18" dd bullits look bad ass so probley want to go with that size also i dont think a 17" with the 4x4 lift on the car would look good haha since i havent lowered it yet i think it would be funny looking so what should i do?? i think i can get the bullitts cheaper so i could save some dough but what do you guys think???? i have been debating so long its hard for me to pick so i want some suggestions

IMO, if you're gonna be committing to buying 18" tires from now on, get the Saleen rims.

If you want Bullitts, just get 17's, and save your money.

So I vote Saleen.

i think i should just get the wheels i originally wanted the saleens....that way if and when i want to sell any of my cars or when i get the lady her car we can put them on that one, she loves the saleens so she would be set.

If you are on stock springs the 18's are gonna look much worse than the 17's, due to the shorter sidewall. They make it appear that you have more wheelgap than you really do.

What color is your car and what is your budget?

18's would look great especially if/when you lower it....just ordered wheels for mine last week but could get myself to bite the bullet for 18" tires so settled for 17" fr500's in chome so I hope i like them to say the least.

my cars red.. i just dont want to buy 2 sets of wheels its stock height now but it wont be and when i get it sitting on the fenders nothing beats a 18" in my eyes... i got 18" on my fox and love it would never trade them for anything its such a eye catcher..i have 17" tribars so i get the general idea of what a 17" looks like

18" DD Bullits are sick.

If I could have afforded tires I would have gotten them in black.

Yeah, not to worried about swaping them right now. 16's are cheap to buy. If I buy a nicer set(dd bullitts if the ever get them in stock) those will go on the 02 and I will put the stock bullitts on the 95.
