new wheels
It's been a while since I've gotten to get back on here and check everything out, but now that I'm here, I have a question to ask all of you.
I want to put some black wheels on the Saleen and would like any personal suggestions. Named and pictures would help greatly!
Thanks!

What sizes you thinkin' 'bout?
9's & 10's are going to be the most popular sets for just about everything from '94~'09, so hit up Am Muscle and other sites as well. Take a look ***HERE*** for lots of pics and see what you like.
I hear black wheels go great with aluminum driveshafts

Jaz, haven't forgotten about you buddy I promise.
And the only reason why I ask is that a good buddy of mine works at Americas Tire Co and they can order ANY rims at cost, and then employee discount at cost + 10%, so he agreed to pick me up the rims of my choice.
Does anyone have pictures of 99-04 saleen rims powdercoated black?

Yeah those blacked out Saleens do look great. I have 5, including a full authentic spare, and I just thought for the great discount I could get, maybe I would go and buy myself a set of brand new, nice, aftermarket wheels that would tie in real great. But I do love the look of the Saleens, I just wish they were a tad bit deeper... or deep at all, they just look so much nicer that way. haha
Ill check out some powder coating places here in East Bay and see what the prices are.
I saw a blacked out 99-04 mustang gt in Walnut Creek with Black and Polished Lip Foose DF-5, which looked SO BADASS. And so I asked my friend at Americas Tire Co and he said he could order them for $160/ a wheel at 18". Instead of $1600 for the full set of 4 like everywhere else.
That was my situation. I am just wondering if spending $400 for my wheels powdercoated is worth it when compared to $600 for new aftermarket, so I wanted to check to see if you guys had any favorite black rims :]
Thanks so much for the input, any further would of course be great
