Default New wheels :)

I know you all hated my previous wheels... I liked them... buttttt then i got the great idea of taking some extreme wheels and powdercoating them black... BAM! I love it
ps: I miss you LSx guys
But I did hold onto the originals as well

Previous wheels:

NEW WHEELS!!!

The new ones look good, but I personally like the look of the original chrome Sallen wheels better.

It would be tough for me be cause I could go either way between the black or the chrome...

Can't lose with either look. You did good!!

I like the new ones, I think they look meaner and show off the calipers better. I would suggest a red pin stripe to break up all the black, or use the rim tape from the link below. I have it on my sportbike and it looks good and can always be removed.

I like em! The original saleens look too much like a bigass SUV rim to me. These are much better, but i'd have gotten a rim with a lip if it was me...

On a side note, the blacked out mustang next to the blacked out chopper is pretty sinister badass, you might be a mafia hitman.

lol thanks man... yeah about the pinstripe and polished lip comments... you know almost every black wheel out there has a lip or pinstripe on them... and im tired of them... last 2 cars I had, had black wheels with lips on them... wanted to try something a little new... and i must say... i like it much better blacked out as for the red pinstripe... that wouldnt work strickly because all the saleen **** on the car is grey... only way the red would look amazing if I had a redflag version of the saleen... then I would totally agree! Thanks for the compliments on the bike and car

NEW WHEELS!!!


As I said the black looks sick. The only reason I asked if they were painted was because it looks like you have some dimples on the spokes.

I agree. This is one of FEW mustangs I would own. lol.

Would look nasty if blacked out the lights JMHO.

NICELY DONE.
