Well, I have the 18x9's and 18x10's Saleen's. I bet you can guess which I like better. There will be more people in favor of the staggered look I would guess. Most of the people that want the same size wheel on all four corners want to be able to rotate their tires.

Where are you buying your wheels at?

It's a crappy cell phone picture sorry.

I paid $430.00 for 4 wheels plus $65.00 shipping from Wheel Replicas. I bought another set for my road race tires and two more 18x10 for my Toyo drag radials. Nice quality for the money.

Thanks! I was looking at cruzinconcepts because they had them on sale but I will check out wheel replicas. I love how they look on your car but im thinkin ill go with 18x9 all around so i can rotate tires when i start to wear out the rears

if you get the 05 -09 offset on those you can run 18x10's all the way around. If you run the 99-04 offset the widest you can run up front is 9.
