So was it a factory option that you could buy or something? I am going to keep them because they do look good on that that car.
Thanks.
Tons of good info up above. Contact Patti at Team Saleen for your build info. Wheel color should be on the list.
As for other wheel info. I was always under the inpression that there were defaults. White cars with blue stripes had white wheels, white cars with sliver had silver wheels, but then you could of had white wheels with silver stripes. I'm sure someone could have requested silver wheels with a blue stripe, but I think the default was white wheels when the stripe was blue during this period.
Look at your center caps. DP caps have a clear laminate over the cap logo. Both the DP logoed caps and the flying "S" caps have this plastic layer on top of the sticker. I'm curious to know if the older "Saleen Mustang" logo that is on your caps holds this plastic layer too.
90-0002 had DP wheels (if I remember it was a special build coupe, maybe red, but my mind is crapping out) and I believe that I can recall a '90 green, stripe delete, 'vert that came with silver DP wheels too. Then you have 90-0090 which was another green 'vert that was SC spec (and then some) that also had the DPs.
The DPs were like $100.00 more a pop than the AREs back in the day. It's a neat wheel and on you special build coupe... they look pretty cool.
I think if you place the DPs and the ARE GT sport wheels side-by-side you can pick out a few differences. One of the flaws with the DPs are... the spokes stickout which tend to make the wheels friendly with curbs and damaged spokes, cracks and junk result. Oh... and DPs are heavier than a gorilla. The GT Sport wheels don't appear to have the dramatic spokes.
If you find a set of styled spoke Saleen spec AREs. Buy 'em. They are not going to be any easier to find X years from now.
Oh. Let us know about your center cap and if if has a clear plastic cover over the sticker.
Enjoy!
