Mine came in tonight. Those were some big-*** boxes! look perfect, like they've never even beer put on a car. We had tons of rain and 30* temps so I couldn't put them on. But, tomorrow night come rain or snow they're going on along with my front sway bar.

I just ordered my bullitts from saleen yesterday. You can't beat $475 shipped for 4 new wheels and tires.
Hope to see them sometime next week.

My take-off 17" Pirelli Nero Zero tires (32 psi) and Bullitt rims arrived from Saleen last Friday, and I put them on with no problem. A great deal for $375 plus shipping for the set of 4.

My 2005 V6 rides even better than with the stock 16" BF Goodrich tires (35 psi). Glad I made this swap. Highly recommmended for the improved appearance and ride.

Now, what do I do with the nearly new 16" spinner rims and BF Goodrich tires?

I'm sure that is very possible since they are take offs. They probably can't have more than a few miles on them though. Figure drive it on the truck at the factory, drive off the trailer at saleen and move it around maybe. Still can't beat the price.
