I'm driving on them today to work and will know for sure. But it has def seemed to fix the problem. It makes sense when you think they balance a 40+ lb tires down to +- 1/2 an ounce or so. I have also thrown on a locking lug nut and it still feels fine.

I haven't pushed them at all so I can't give an opinion on them but in due time lol. By no means do the 255's look "stretched" on the wheel. If you are **** about stuff like that then maybe go with a 265 or so. But the 255's were in the package deal.

It just surprises me that it took a forum/ me google-ing " 18" saleen wheel vibration" to solve the problem. Not once did anyone at CC suggest the rotor clips as a possible issue...

 

Dean welcome to the Saleen crew brotha. Looks sick on your car. Now be ready for the obsession to begin of keeping them clean and your tires sprayed with the Tire Wet stuff.....

 

lol thanks Rob. Ohh that obsession began with the FR500's...but these are easier due to the simpler 5 spoke design lol.

I think the next thing will be brakes. After a while I feel them a little spongy. As far as I know they are the stock brakes and I'm at 50K mi. More pics to come.

 

You can do this only a $400 or so, by the following items:
1. Good pads ~ Hawk HPS are wonderful, amoung others
2. SS lines at ALL four corners ~ pepe AM for fronts and rears
3. DOT4 or higher fluid ~ the highest temp fluid is only little more expensive

This will get you WAY, WAY, WAY better brakes than OEM and will stop your ride very well.

Thanks a lot Jazzer. When the time comes I'll prob do that along with some quality blank rotors. I'm becoming less a fan of Autozone rotors since you never know the quality control on them. So maybe Ford will be the place to gram some. Short of me researching it all through, hwo much diff are the Mach brakes and GT? Rotor size is diff, caliber braker different? The calipers seem same size. But don't know if 16" wheels will fit.

 

i love putting on tire shine, but only if its a moderate amount. too much can look a little cheesy IMO. i've been liking meguires stuff lately. it smells like grapes. lol
no tire shine at all can make a clean car look dirty. apply a thin coat and you are money.

 

I agree 945...when I go to shows I put a little on.

 

^When you go to shows? Sh*t when I go to the BATHROOM I put a little on!. Smitty check out HPWrestlers thread about his MACH1 brake upgrade. I believe it was around April/May when he did it. I saw it first hand on Saturday and I loved how it looked so much that I got pissed at him. That brake setup = FTMFW

 

lol

i try to keep my car show-quality clean all of the time, which is why its a long process when i frequently wash it.
