Default torn on what to do...

I have an 06 GT, silver with the basic GT wheels. I've had it less than a week now, and I'm going to mod it, but I'm kinda torn on what to do. Before this I had an 02 that I put a roush kit on, but I am definitly leaning towards the saleen kit and wheels this time. From just browsing this site it seems that most people arent really a fan of the saleen wheels, alone I think they suck, but I think they flow perfectly on the saleen kit. I'd be getting the chrome saleen wheels. So, what do you all think of the saleen body kit and wheels, in silver.. Heres my car as it stands.

Definitely needs new wheels. The saleen in your post looks good. I think your color would look great with black wheels too though.

You should put the saleen wheels on first. They look pretty damn good even on stock gt body.

so you dont like the wheels but your going to get em anyway? take a few days or weeks and really look for rims. dont waste your money because once you own them you wont be able to sell them and make your money back.
and i love the saleen kit aslong as it comes with a s/c

+1

and just when you think you found the perfect wheels, look some more. Be careful of what people will tell you will fit, I had a dealer tell me a set of wheels would fit my car, I found out they would fit, just not to my liking and they wouldn't take them back (OE wheels).

You can see what a stock GT looks like with the Saleen wheels, as well as a lot of other appearance mods, here...
