Cool TL^ on Saleen rims
Everyone knows TL^ by his old blue 17" RPF1's. He traded those for some 18X9/10 '98 Saleen Stock rims. IMO They look Good!! Just needs to lower front some more and get rid of those mudguards

Here are the pics.

Nice. I was wondering what those would look like. Agree lower the front some and have him ditch the mud guards and it'll look sick

These make your car look so much better. No offense but I thought the Blue RPF1s made your ride look like a civic.

Lol, I got that so much I was used to it.. I fell into the hype of wanted low offset wheels that I bought the first thing that came across me. Realized how dumb I was. Happy with my new look now..

Damn, looking good....Did the wheels bolt right up?
Do the wheels have a hub bore insert to properly fit our 64.1 hub?

I like the offset, but the style of the Saleen wheels is a bit boring. The Ron Jons are infinitely nicer looking.

Either 9" or 10.5". I had the 9's up front and 10.5" out back on my 01' Cobra. Mmm...miss that car

Saleens are BEAUTIFUL in person and look just straight sick while rolling. Slightly concave, spoke goes to the lip. 18's look like 19's or 20's with these wheels

Looks awesome man!! Those are hypersilver correct? Takes me back to my mustang days..which I will be revisiting shortly after college (1 year ). Where did you pick them up at? I kinda want the silver on my SSM now

..so no modifications? They are 5x4.5" right?..which I guess is the same as 5x114.3?

he didn't use spacers since the offsets are low to begin with. Did you read anything or just look at the pretty pictures haha

I'm not a fan of 5 spoke rims, but these are HAWT. Just a tad lower and it will be super tight.
