Like Siberian said, a lot of people have them. I have them as well, and think they look great, and give the mustang a mean look

RE: black wheels
They look like Parnelli Jones Saleen wheels. I believe Hardcore Mustangs had a bunch of sets they were selling off. These, obviously were painted black for him. They look real good in person.

Yes, Hard Core Mustangs, Santee, California:
http://hardcoremustangs.net/store/in...Path=21_37_136
I "won" the "powdercoated" black wheels at an eBaY auction, for about a thousand dollars. I see the price has gone up ...
During the auction I confirmed with Saleen that these are "legit".
They are very distinctive, just five hundred made. I don't know if that's 125 sets of four or 500 sets of four. I hope it's the former, but expect to learn it's the latter. How many PJ Mustangs were made?
They are also heavy, at 30 pounds or so per wheel. With the 275-35 Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires, that's like 60 pounds per corner. Make for great highway cruising, but I calculate they are worth a tenth at the eighth-mile drags; a tenth slower, that is. I have no idea what effect they have on autocross times, but they really worked good a week ago last Saturday, quick response and very high cornering rates.
On the 24th I'll be doing a test-and-tune autocross practice on "Fanblades" (18x8.5)and 245-45 Bridgestone Potenza RE-01Rs. Direct comparisons may be out of the question, but we'll see what subjective differences there are. The Fanblades aren't much lighter, but the RE-01Rs are.
