Knock Off Saleens...

chromestang01 · January 2nd, 2008, 03:35 PM

Does anybody know where i can get some "Aftermarket Saleen Wheel"
center caps??I ordered some from this place on ebay and i got them today and they are to small to fit..I contacted the man and he said that "Knock off" saleens need a bit bigger center cap.Thanks..

do you want real saleen center caps or ones that will fit your replicas

shadow5403 · January 2nd, 2008, 03:38 PM

shoulda just bought authentic saleens if ya want them to look like em

GreenFaleen · January 2nd, 2008, 03:42 PM

nah he's smart buying replica they have better chrome than the real ones and arent 3500 a set

shadow5403 · January 2nd, 2008, 03:47 PM

no one said lookin good was cheap......replica is just a nice way of sayin generic.

yeah but real saleen rims will start flakeing chrome after about 3-4 months, most guys who own saleen buy replicas to ride on and just put the real ones on for shows

chromestang01 · January 2nd, 2008, 06:38 PM

maybe sum dont have 3500 to drop on real ones..if u answerin this to put me down then get the flip off this thread..and to green faleen i was lookin for the real silver black caps!thanks!

yeah the real caps are smaller than average you'll have to find a replica size cap

Im not answering this to put you down....you guys try to buy replica wheels so you dont spend alot of money and then try to find center caps to make it look authentic. Im not against you....im just against non-authentic products. When someone looks at my car i want them to know what ive invested and exactly what ive put on it....and that i took the time to do my modding the right way not the CHEAP way.

i would say get some center caps that will fit... doesnt really need to be saleen... i personally wouldnt want to have saleen center caps if the rims were replicas... i have replica cobra rims on my car and they came with cobra r center caps... i would much rather have just regular center caps because with the dual exhaust, cobra spoiler, and the cobra on the rims people think i either have a cobra, or am being a ricer and badging it or making it look like a cobra. i cant stand it

shadow5403 · January 3rd, 2008, 09:41 AM

fianlly someone understands what im sayin

GreenFaleen · January 3rd, 2008, 11:11 AM

well saleen rims are a different situation then cobra IMO cause the saleen center cap just has lines forming an S and it flows with the lines of the wheel it looks good, but the giant R on the replicas looks kinda goofy
