Which Saleen wheels:

OK, so, I'm gonna keep everything down as far as modding this year. I'm definately spending 750 and fixing all my bumpers to new again, no more cracks. Also a Saleen wing and a couple other small small things, such as taillight tint, saleen badges, window decal, antenna.
Only performance I'm doing are 4.10s, I'll be happy with that.
THE QUESTION: What rims, CHROME or WHITE?

I'm either gonna get KDW2 or Toyo TR-1 tires. 295/35 rear.

Can't find a pic with chrome, but I'm sure all of you can picture chrome just fine. BTW my car will look exactly like the car in the second pic. (both pics are the same car, except the first one has a center exhaust)

ewww **** no...white is so tacky...and personally i think it looks cheap...maybe if there was a polished lip/edge that'd be kinda cool...

roushrider81 03-14-2006 03:35 AM

lol chrome will look great rapped in kdw2's

whitethunder46 03-14-2006 08:49 AM

I'm leaning towards white, it's different, everyone has chrome

FritoBandito 03-14-2006 08:54 AM

Definitely white.

Go white, that car in the pic looks awesome, for all you guys that say white looks too tacky how about black on a black car? not that i dont like black rims but think about it, its basically the same but this time it is white

IMO white rims are one of the onlt way to make a white car look good that and dark tints

White is badass if i a had a white car i would get white or black wheels andd the white saleens look sick imo.....white for teh win:cool:

madmatt 03-14-2006 10:52 AM

Hmm tough, I voted chrome, but I dunno, I think both would be a pain in the ass to keep clean...

Red99GT 03-14-2006 11:41 AM

since that saleen you posted looked so BAD ASS i had to choose white :banana:

floppy 03-14-2006 11:44 AM

dude, it has to be white wheels... chrome just doesnt look right on a white car imo. unless its polished drag wheels, they look good on any color mustang. white saleens just look badass on a white saleen mustang...

Milos 03-14-2006 11:58 AM

White dude, go with your original theme.

whitethunder46 03-14-2006 12:07 PM

The second pic is exactly what I'm goin after. I would do the center exhaust, but can't justify spending another 800 for the center configuration.
The only thing that might be different is I might not get the Saleen hood.

DarkSith 03-14-2006 12:08 PM

Chrome, white looks stupid...
Now lets compare, Stupid white wheels, or these.

floppy 03-14-2006 12:11 PM

its the car that makes those pics look good, not the wheels... the white would definitely look better than the chrome.

whitethunder46 03-14-2006 12:18 PM

The car, although different, is the exact same, same kit, same color, both the same saleen wing, same badges, both lowered.

That is an excellent comparison between white and chrome.

whitethunder46 03-14-2006 12:19 PM

the reason i like white is because only time you'll ever see white rims is on a white car, esp. a white Saleen, Chrome rims are on just about allllll Saleen's, so it's not that 'special'

whitethunder46 03-14-2006 12:23 PM

I think that one looks bad because, since it's a vert, and the Tonneau? cover is white, it's just way too much white

I hear you, the only problem I have with white wheels is that they are bland. They don't stand out enough for my taste.

When making that post, I just knew you would comment on that knowing you have a vert, lmao

i heartedly agree, 100%. though, the white on that saleen looks better then any white wheels on any other car that i've seen ---- chrome is still better

whitethunder46 03-22-2006 10:11 PM

Well. Here's how it'll go down.

If I get white rims. I'll get black reflective bumper letter, black chrome tips, grille delete (or paint factory grille white with black pony), basically allll white and black.

If I got chrome, then SS bumper letters, chrome tips, grille, delete.

the only problem with that pic is that the chrome stang is too low... the white looks much better - on white. white rims are only good on a white ride.
