hey guys. im trying to get a pair of 18 inch wheels for the nineseven. ive got 17 inch bullet wheels on it right now with some bfg kdws. those cost me 1700 for the package couple years ago. im not really digging the 17s anymore i want to go with an 18 inch set. Anyone got pics of their setups id really appreciate it. I love the saleen wheels but i dont have a saleen so i dont really want to put those on there.

its just that i already got a saleen speedster cover and if i get the saleen wheels people will think im trying to fake one out. i love the way it looks but if i got the speedster and the wheels might as well get the body kit and i dont want to do that.



EDIT: if any of you guys out there have the saleen wheels either polished or chrome or hyperblack please post some pics on here if you could i would love to see how they look especially on the 94-98 body. thank you very much.
 
I dont think i want to go with the all black wheel. Im thinking of getting the hypercoated saleen wheels. i know chrome wont look to good on the laser red because they are too bright, i know polished would look better but i think the hyperblack ones would be perfect. the only problem is that this company on ebay has them matched up with 245/40/18 tires and the wheels are 18x9. this leads me to believe the tires are not wide enough and the rim sticks out more than the tire. what do you guys think about the hyperblack saleens on my 97 laser red?


this is what they look like, im in love with these. the hyperblacks look cool

You don't have a Bullit either but you put Bullitt wheels on it.
Why are you so concerned you don't have a Saleen so you don't want to put Saleen on them?

Saleens are a gorgeous but simple 5 spoke design that would look good.

I have a Laser Red SN95 that had bullits on when I got it and traded to factory 03/04 Cobras. Not a Cobra but still look damn good on the car.

Not trying to be a Cobra I just enjoy a simple 5 spoke design and not the Bullitts.
 
the hypercoateds are beautiful, what size tires are you running? you said you bought them from american muscle right?

Thanks! Yes, I purchased them from American Muscle. The fronts are 265s, rears are 285s, Sumitomo HTR-ZIIs. In retrospect, I should have went with a wider rear tire, as the 285s look a little stretched on the 10" wheel. I have heard that a Nitto NT-555 in 285 width should run wider than a Sumitomo but I won't have first hand experience until these ones get baked off. :nice:
