Bigger wheels would look a little better but I have to say that car is Awesome. Thats how the SC Saleen should have looked. That stupid oversized batwing on the back really makes the car look like crap.
I prefer the wheels that he has already. They are a good style, gives a little contrast to the car. I think the Saleen wheels are the 2nd worst thing on the car. (1st being that stupid wing) Sure they are chrome but I think they look cheap. And you can't convince me when spending a few thousand bucks anyone would want a cheap look. For a red pony I think Black or a design like the one he already has looks great. Really dig the clean view of the rotors and fat calipers.
Overall His Car is rock'n right now. If he really wants to do something else he should work on destroying 7.0 Z06's!!!

If you going to keep the Saleen wheels, I'll take the BBS wheels. I love those rims. I like the Saleen wheels as well.

I'm not sure if they are offered for sale or not, but Saleen has a 19' rim, as well. These are a potential option for you. Rubber for 18's or 19's is cheaper than 20' rubber, and you also have more rubber options in 18 or 19'. Yeah, the 20' Saleen rims loog good, but you have to look at the big picture.

What does each wheel/tire combination weigh?
