should i do saleens?

mustanginky · March 1st, 2009, 09:26 PM

okay, well, have a guy who wants to trade me my 17"fr500's for silver 18" saleens. should i do it? They would be painted black like cobraterritory's over on svtp. here's a pic of my car.

I like your rims. But the Saleens would look good. Have someone chop them on your car in the chopshop.

F8L GT · March 1st, 2009, 09:27 PM

i like your fr500s but do whatever you want to do. its your car man, if you think it looks good, go for it

mustanginky · March 1st, 2009, 09:29 PM

i think it'll look good personally. however i'm not 100% sure. I know cobraterritory had a sweet setup with some black saleens. if someone can photoshop them i'd like to see them.

saleens over fr500s ALLLL DAAYYYY!!!! I have never ever thought the fr500's were even close to looking good. Just my opinion.

saleens look better however I am partial to the rear deep dish look.

mustanginky · March 1st, 2009, 11:01 PM

i know i like the DD rearend. however, i like the saleens and i believe it'd be a good trade for me.

mustang_gtr_99 · March 1st, 2009, 11:06 PM

it would in the fact you are going up a size. What kind of rubber is he using on those saleens

mustanginky · March 1st, 2009, 11:07 PM

the rears are 285/35's

buddyantunez1 · March 1st, 2009, 11:08 PM

only if you keep the saleen's silver

mustanginky · March 1st, 2009, 11:09 PM

hell nah they wouldn't stay silver. the gloss black looks pretty badass!

mustang_gtr_99 · March 1st, 2009, 11:11 PM

if it were me, I would only paint or powdre coat the spokes. Also, are the rear's 10.5 or 9's?

ReverendDexter · March 1st, 2009, 11:13 PM

Saleen wheels look like ass. I have no idea why everyone likes them.

Get rid of the ghetto-smoked headlight lenses, and drop the rear so it's level with the front, and your car will look perfect.

mustanginky · March 1st, 2009, 11:14 PM

they are 9's, but if i wanted 10's i'd buy them later.

they're gone lol. they looked good but too dark. and they weren't ghetto smoked lol i had a professional painter spray up a set i had laying around. i know it needs dropped in the rear. i have eibach's and the front was way too high so i cut the stockers down a little too much.

buddyantunez1 · March 1st, 2009, 11:15 PM

silver wheels really "pop" on your car. please dont paint them. black wheels are so played out IMO.

mustang_gtr_99 · March 1st, 2009, 11:16 PM

to each there own, go with what you like man.

RS22 · March 1st, 2009, 11:18 PM

Saleens ftw, FR500s are played out.
