Default Debating

Ok, so I have been debating on which wheels to buy since the beginning of winter. I have the money and still have a little time left to wait until winter is over. I was thinking some 18" SALEENS in either CHROME or HYPERCOATED. Lately, I have also been thinking about some CHROME BULLITTS, but since everyone and their mother owns them, idk.

Also, I am still a little iffy on the quality of these wheels. I know they are from wheelreplicas.com, so I checked out the site and found a few things that made me think twice. For example, in the wheel descriptions, they don't know how to spell shiny...they spelled it shinny... . Also, I have read some forum posts on people receiving warped or damaged wheels. I would appreciate some positive/negative feedback on the quality of these wheels. Anyone had problems with their durability also?

I have the replica bullitts in 17x10.5 rear and have the 17x9 reps. on the way. The 17x10's quality is very good, the spun aluminum part is more shiny than stock and they arrived in great condition. Never had a prob with them and they balanced just fine. Still not a fan of the black, but you don't see too many black bullitts on red stangs....oh yea, get em from here.

lol they're the same wheels...MTing is just is distributor...

If you go Chrome anything I'd go either Saleen's chrome or Bullets...if you go hyperblack then make sure you have a lip on the wheel...it looks a million times better with a lip...otherwise it looks to much rice IMO

I got mine from MT about 2 years ago, or was it 3 years ago? Anyway, they are fine. If you wreck one, they are cheap to replace too.

Not Saleens, but i just got a replacement rim from MT. They come boxed with a nice rim protector, canvas-like cover and wrapped in plastic(the round white plastic piece under the rim). Never mind the other stuff, just trying to show you how they are shipped to prevent damaged.
