Great looking car man, it looks like a pretty clean swap as well, now all you need is a big front mount to hold you over till its 1.5jz time lol.


Ive been debating between the saleens, fr500's, and bullits for quite a few months now, I will be going with 17s all around, but i just wish i could find some pics of the fr500s on an SC, the saleens look great, i may go with a flat black set of them... still undecided.

 

thanks man, yeah i want a fmic, fpr, exhaust and a safc with a tune. those are my next steps!


man i'm dying to see the FR's on a SC i was just worried about spending the $$$ on them and not looking right, i figured the Saleen's where a simple 5spoke so it was safer.. if i had a black car i definetly would have got black saleens..

 

I'm thinking i'm gonna go with black FR's so i dont look like i'm copying you lol and it will be something new on these forums. I think 18" FR's would look better, but tire prices and wheel weights are a large contributing factor to me getting 17"s.

 

i'm rocking 18's in back 17's up front myself, i definetly think with the FR's the 18's will look better though, they have pretty big lips and that always makes rims look smaller to me

 

Any pics of these "fr's"??

 

I'll be picking up a set of these within this week

 

I think the FR's with a fat staggered lip will be more ballin then the Saleens, i just wanted some factory styling.. too bad we dont live closer i'd be down for some swapping back and forth lol

 

Good to see you got everything going man.

 

Sorry for the thread hijack Paco.

Here's an SC with the FR500 replica wheels rims, I think I may pick up a set.

oh wow i'm kinda mad i didn't get those now lol.. i still like my oem look but man i wanted the FR's for the lip!

 

I think your car looks better with the Saleens than that red one with the FRs.

Congrats on getting the 1jz up and running too!

It's all about personal taste, but yeah, I agree — five spoke Saleens all the way. great choice.

 

I think both wheels look pretty stellar...

 

thanks guys! i figured more would disapprove with the choice of using mustang rims, they are not my first choice (CCW's!!!! maybe next year) but i was just budgeting when i did my swap and i had to have something besides the stockers!
i think for the price they are way better then most of these other cheap wheels some people are using with horrible offsets.

i'm extremely happy with how my car looks on them, i'm definetly planning on some other wheels down the road though, some CCW's or works maybe.
