Make sure that you realize that the 10" saleens do not have any kind of lip.... They are just a wider wheel, and the only real purpose of putting 10" saleens is to run a bigger tire... Just in case u might not have noticed there is no lip on them... Good luck, and i think either wheel will look good... The first ones look pretty good though

oh i know there is no lip... im gettin stagger cuz of a bigger tire on the back and they stick out a lil farth than 9s do so it more fluch with the 1/4 panel... its more for the over all look i guess...

so im guess most ppl like the black chrome saleen?? i know a lotta ppl dont like the FR500 wheel... it does start goin into rice territory but i think they look good... im just not sure should if they will on my car... i think the saleens are a safer bet... and pull be able to see more of my painted cobra calipers and the new rotors ill be gettin

if ya go with the saleen wheels...make sure aftermarket lugs will fit....my good friend came in for tires on his S351 Saleen, and the factory lugs kept breaking as they came off. It costed $450 just for the OEM lug nuts. That was also the magnesium OEM wheels. we tried every aftermarket shank lug nut possible, and only OEM would work....

well the saleen replicas no OEM saleens so i would think aftermarket lugs would fit... i was goin to call when i orders and try ot get a deal on lugs and valve stems newayz since im buy 4 rims and they making like 1 grand off of me i figured they probably throw in some lugs and valve stems... its the least they could do... thanks for the wornging tho ill make sure to ask just to be safe
