Saleen Wheels


I really like and am thinkin about gettin some saleen wheels, but im not sure what size would be best. It is a lot harder to find 17 inch saleen wheels than it is 18, and i think they both look good, what are your opinions, 17 or 18?

try ebay and then find the seller OEWHEELS thats where i got mine, you can probably find a good deal on tire and wheel package, and i will vouch for them they are pretty good, they forgot to send my a center cap, i called them and they sent it right out. so yeh thats another place.

well if you go to a place like americanmuscle you'll drop $800 easy for tire and wheel packages...you can look on ebay or local listings and pick up an amazing pair for $300 i found 4 cobra chrome rims with 4 tires mint for $275 good deals pop up everywhere..
