Default 18's. 19's, or 20's

so here is my dilema. i am desperately trying to find rims for the car. sounds simple enough huh? well not quite. i need rims that will compliment the saleen body kit. i have narrowed the choice of rims down to roughly 3. here they are in order.

saleen rims. 20's



Falken koblenz 19's


konig beyond 18's


i seriously doubt i would get the saleen rims simply cuz i dont like the chrome deal. the 19's are badass but to be honest the tires for 19's are rare when you compare them to 17's, 18's or 20's. that leaves the 18's i like these to but my only prob would be that i am affraid they would be to samll for the saleen kit. what do you guys think???

Get 19,or 20s because that body kit is huge and you dont want some tiny rims it wont look right get 19 if you want to play it safe that way your big enough and dont have to worry about being to big for rubbing or clearing issues or just looking to big for your 6er!

go for 19s or 20s...the 18 might sound good, but these cars are huge so think bigger

weeeelll if your gonna have a replica of a saleen , might as well go with saleen rims or not do it at all. IMO I wouldnt do it to begin with but its your ride.

Saleen also makes their wheel in a painted verison. My boyfriend bought an 05 saleen and he has the chrome wheels and it was a $1000 option.

The Konig Beyonds also come in 20" with a 45mm and a 50mm backspace.

i likemy 18's and youdontpay anass load ofr the tires, i originally wanted 19's but the tires were just too hard to find and too expensive. and i really like the saleen wheels,but i dont like 20's if they arent on the saleen,IMHO they are just too big for the car.
i likeyur 19"choice the best, if only youcould get that one in 18" go to tirerack.com and look around
