I think 90 is a somewhat high estimate!
I'd guess (and only a guess) these new wheels are somewhere around 30lbs each.
Oh and it is a 40 lbs saving total not per wheel.

I hope I didnt come off as stepping on toes lol!!!

But that $4500 internals enable the engine to handle 600+, worth it IMO. Might as well go all out of your buying a saleen right?

Anyways I wish I had the spare cash to dump into my car...Im on the 5 year plan! lol

Say When

I swear, I really swear. Before you do anything else, send back what you have already ordered. Go buy a non supercharged new 06 Saleen. There are plenty to choose from and you can get one for around 40k + tax and license. Go buy the Saleen blower from Haneymotorsport. Keep the JDM set up. This way you will have real Saleen and for under 10 k you can make it almost as fast as an E car without having to crack the motor and can customize which S/C parts you want. The only things visually different from the e car and the s/c are the diffusers and maybe a 3/4 window treatment and a badge. With that JDM stage 2 kit you will be making E power for a fraction of the price and you will have a decent tune to boot!

Also, you won't have to tell every person at the gas pump that it's not a real Saleen.

Hm, there's something familiar about that advice... I can't quite place it... hmmm

In 05SDI's case though I believe he already has his GT and has had it a little while. So this route is cheaper given taxes already paid and depreciation. Sounds like a fun winter project!

The seven spoke 20's weigh approx 45 lbs each sans tire.

As long as you have the power to back it up.

Say When

Right Sow.


Ther rear 10" wheels are 44-45lbs a piece and the 275-40-20 P-Zeros are 30-31lbs a piece. You do the math. Sounds like Titanic anchors to me.

Never really been a fan of the wheels. Lots of stuff out there that looks better and a lot lighter.
