Is there such a thing as 17" Saleen wheels??

[95Vert]

I really liked the white car with white wheels look and am looking for 17"
Saleen wheels. Do any of you know if they're made? Also, would it be cheaper, or better, to order gray Saleen wheels and powdercoat them white to match the car? It would look awful if the whites are off by a tone.

 

[95Vert]

Oh and you guys think the 99 cobra wheel would look as good as the saleen ones?

 

[5.0_GT_kid]

Yes they have 17's, Mustang Tuning has them I believe.

 

[95Vert]

I already checked there and they didn't.

 

[fiveohh94gt]

cool blue performance has them in 18's here

 

[95Vert]

Yeah, but I was looking for 17s.

 

[95Vert]

Okay, I found them on here.

And now that I was looking for 18" 99 cobras, I can't find those. I really don't think those were produced. There was this one company who specialiazed in replicas but I forgot their name and can't find them.

Saleen does not make any authentic 17" rim.
You would have to go with a replica rim to get a 17" white saleen style.

I have reps/
and i love them.

I just spoke to a local powdercoater and he charges $50 each to get them white. Since there aren't any white 17" and 18" saleens, I'm just going to purchase the silver and powdercoat them white.

mustangracing.com has black saleens, not sure about white. i bought 18" reps 18x9/18x10 for a little less than 600. really nice looking wheels, even come with a racecraft center cap. just looked and they do have white wheels, in 18" only.

if your lokking for 17" saleens, www.crossroadzdirect.com has them polished in 17x9 for $160, and in chrome for $200...if your looking for white, then have em in 18" for $150 each......i believe thats where caldwell got his chromies

someone on ebay usually has a set of 17" saleens for a pretty good price.

this is the polished 99/01 cobra wheels on my car.

I love the saleen wheels in 18" better. It fills the wheel well so much better. Maybe a 1" drop, and it looks sweet.

nice dude

they actually sell 18s now for what I paid for the 17s...
a bit of a piss off but it's definitely something to look into

good thing is, my 17s are so cheap now, if i scratch a rim, i'll just buy another one

yea i'd get teh 18's too, but the price of tires for 18" rims is redculous, and they dont have a lotta choices for 18" drag radials....

on another note do you know of anyone who makes 17x10 or 17x10.5 chrome saleens?

you're exactly right. that was another reason why i didn't mind 17s so long as my drop was alright.
18 tires are insane, and i don't know about you, but i use my car. I don't abuse it by any means, but definitely, definitely, use.
