I put some BBS RK Plasmas on recently. To me, they really look all business and lack the "show" of the Saleens. They are also extremely light. I go between these and the Saleens but for right now I'm going to sport them.

New wheels ftw. 
Not only do they look all business but it's a refreshing change I think. Not that there's anything wrong with the Saleens.

Thanks for the positive feedback everyone. I'm still trying to decide if I should just chrome the BBS wheels. I'll have to think about that one for awhile.
Thanks. It rides really nice. The switch to coil-overs and control arms in the front made a really big difference. I was out driving this weekend and it reminded me of a go-kart in the hard turns. My friend (following in a 98 Cobra) was amazed that my car didn't sway hardly through the turns. Right now I'm only running a 250lb front spring but may need to change that when I put the new motor in it.
I used to have coil overs on the rear but this last go around MM told me that they don't recommend coil overs in the rear anymore. I had been running rear coil overs for about 2 years upon their recommendation but they offered to give me a full credit for everything if I sent it back to them. I took them up on their offer and switched over to a conventional coil spring and LCA w/ perch setup. The rear ride is definitely a little rougher than before but not in a bad way.

Not on my setup but it is also adjustable through the front coil-overs and rear weight jacker LCAs. Rubbing (outside of the fender) can occur on the front coilover depending on wheel/tire size. My front Saleens (9") with a front 255 tire is very close but does not rub. The front BBS (8.5) w/ 245 tire has plenty of clearance.
The Road & Track kit doesn't have any adjustability (front coil-overs or rear weight jacker LCAs). It would seem that you shouldn't have any issues with rubbing but you also won't be able to customize the car's height.
