I thought you already had the saleens? I kinda like the contrast of the lip on the FR500s over the straight black of the saleens.

I do....that's my car in the second pic LOL But I think I'm getting bored with the all black. The chrome adds a little something extra to look at.

You no likey Bullitta jkjk, if you go with fr500's would you be interested in anthracite's instead? I say that because I can't stand black fr500's. Just my two cents.

No to bullitts because the spokes are rounded and TO ME, nothing is rounded on a new edge car. All the body lines are sharper corners, the 94-98 stangs have more rounded body lines. Anthracite isn't too high on my list although I did consider it. I just prefer the black and blue theme over the anthracite wheels. The chrome in the FR500's would tie my exhaust tips and my fender emblems (only plasti-dipped so I can make them chrome again) together.

But I do like the simplicity of the 5 spoke saleens...hmph lol

This should be so simple... BLACK IT OUT. If you're getting bored with it, tie it all together more.

Your windows aren't tinted. Your tail lights aren't tinted. At the very least you should tint your side reflectors. Tint the ambers in your headlights. Blackout the pony in the front of your grill if it's still chrome. I know tinted lights and windows aren't for everybody, though. But i'd still keep the saleens.

The black saleens look so much better than the fr500's and the guy with the fr's has cobra mirrors, tints, smoked heads, and racing seats. You would think his car looks better but it really doesn't... Fr500's are one of my favorite wheels but your car looks great with the saleens. If i were you i would just black the car out.
