Does anybody know of a company that makes the 20" saleen wheels but in gloss black, just like the car from transformers. I looked everywhere but cant find them, except for in chrome. Second, if I were to buy the chrome ones, is it neccesary to have the chrome stripped before having them powdercoated?

Search 'transformers'. There was a guy selling exactly what you're looking for.

I tried contacting him but he never got back to me, so im looking elsewhere.

Yes, Saleen sells the 20's in Black. I have a set on order right now. They are doing them custom ordered through their Irving plant. They send them away to get powdercoated, rather than chromed. Email Saleen.

Thanks I will do that, however, im scared to ask...how much?

For the 20x9 fronts, and the 20x10 rears with Pirelli 275/35 front, and 275/40 rears........$3000 USD.

That's steep for a powdercoated set. Hardcore Mustangs out of San Diego sells sets of the (real) Saleen 20s for much less. Should be able to get them powdercoated for $100 a wheel.

That is a lot of cash. Those damn Pirelli's are over $1500.00

Price of the wheel set w/out tires is $1999. Cheapest I've seen online are $1799 for real deal Saleens. So, $250 a tire is pretty damn good from where I am sitting (Canada)

Chrome and Powerdercoat are the same price from Saleen. If you buy a chrome set, and then powdercoat, you are going to be riding a heavier wheel. The black Saleens are powdercoated instead of chrome, which should be lighter.

I have a few used sets that I can get powdercoated black if anyone is intrested. Just PM me if intrested.
