Default my new saleen wheels!

Finally, the 20's got traded off to some mustang worthy wheels.


Yes, i know its a small pic, but its all i can do till i get the camera from the other house. 18x9 and 18x10 stagger, with 255/45 front and 275/40 on the back. These wheels came off of a ranger, so thats why the sizes are big, but it looks great. I'll post bigger pics on down the line ASAP! I wont be hounded anymore by you guys! Yay!


EDIT - Meaning sizes as in the tires aspect ratio. They have a big sidewall.

Final EDIT - The new pics are down the page a little.

lucky he had them on a ranger, if they was on a mustang i doubt i couldve got a person to trade. as soon as i got them wheels, they was tarnished, yellowed n looked hideous, took it down to my park and all the guys in the mustangs was like offering me all these trades and the things looked sooo bad. took em home and polished for about 3 hours and they look fair now. I really dont know how this community views them so im lookin to see what people think. Right now i feel as if theyre a wheel nobody really has. But still my fav's are black 03 04 cobras. 18's are just too expensive for tires.

Nahh, a ton of people have 5 star wheels and most of them are or resemble S wheels.. Those look much better, and for an S style wheel, 18's are normal size.

'eh, 45's & 40's aren't too big.. They may look just a tad too tall on an '18, but I've got 40's on the front and 35's on the back of mine (17's) and they're fine.

Sometimes this is where you can get some of the best work done for the least cash...

My father had his truck painted at a tech school and it turned out better than factory...
