Saleen wheels are identical to EAGLE model 077's which may actually be the wheels Saleen uses as like I said they are exact except the Saleens are stamped "saleen" True Saleemns are $400. each. I got a set of Eagle o77's for $750. shipped with lugs, locks and stems. Mine were all 8" wide so not sure about the other widths. try www.jdwheels.com Mark
PS: SORRY, They are listed under FWD and only nuop to 8" wide.

Ive got the 555's, and believe u me they will hook up just fine. Ive tried to get loose with them and it just doesnt work. I tried messin around even in the rain one day and they hung on pretty well. You cant go wrong with Nitto's.

so i will be able to fit 315's onto an 18x10 rim?? Won't that be pushing it??? The place that sells the rims recommends a 285.

There 245/40/18's all the way around. I was gonna get 275's in the back but I want to be able to rotate tires.

"recommend" means that is the smallest tire wou can put on the rim, in a 18-17x10 rim you can fit a 335's if you want , of course is going to be more expensive, go with 315's you wont regret it

can't rotate them... thats the only thing it sucks about having 315 in the rear... why didn't you get 275's all around???

i heard the best "sticy" tires are nittos, hossier and mickey thompson's, i have gooyear eagles f1' in my rears and the hook up just fine

I recommend a 295 width tire for your rears. I would go no wider than 305. I would not try and squeeze 315's on the back.
