97RSPSCTT dude, the saleen wheels look really good. will they clear bbk?
not really sure, i plan on doing a bbk eventually i'll definetly post up when i do, i could take some pics or measure i guess, i'm not really sure how to tell if they'd clear to be honest.

StiCk3 those saleens look stunning!! how much did the wheels + custom caps set you back?

Also what size tires are you using?
thanks man, a friend of mine did the custom center caps for $15 bucks, i paid $1100 for the wheels and tires brand new. 17x9 245/40 and 18x10 275/40 (should have went 35 series on back) the wheels are +22/+24 offset but i can't remember this sec which one is which offset that is..


here's a closeup of one of the centercaps..






thanks for the compliments guys, just a few months ago this car was a bone stock, one car owned, lady driven daily driver.
lol

You can get replica saleens for 500 on ebay. Thats what I did for my 3000gt. Chrome. I went with 18 x 10 all the way around.

lol thanks guys i'm actually lookin to keep the car twins

tt pistons in my old ge block do the 1.5 jz, fpr, safc, fmic, full exhaust, cams, upgrade the twins, i'd like to make 350 or a little closer to 400 even if i have to upgrade the twins, i just feel like a single isn't worth it unless i want to make big power, but who knows maybe i'll come across a great deal on a single, i enjoy the low end power and it's my daily no drag car
