here's my old SC with saleen wheels, 17x9 +22 up front and 18x10 +22 rear







there is alot of other pics around


i really liked them, and i think the best part was i paid like $1100 shipped brand new with new tires. i was running 275's in the rear..

fenders will have to be modded for sure.

Yeah that car looked GREAT with those rims, too bad the new owner ruined it and took them off and replaced them with the ugliest volks iv'e ever seen.

I wanna see some chrome FR500's with the same sizes and offsets on an SC.

Mustang minds think alike. I'm planning on doing black staggered Saleens on my bright red SC, and since I have coilovers I can play with the ride height so it's dead on. My first car was a '92 LX that I did a ton of stuff to, and then I had an '86 SVO Comp Prep after the '92 got totalled that I just sold earlier this year to buy my SC. So the Mustang wheels are near and dear to my heart.

lol yeah i had a friend make me some Lexus center caps..


I miss the teal SC too, I bough it bone stock from a lady in Nashville, then ended up doing a 1jz swap, wheels, coilovers, bunch of other stuff..

i should have never sold it. I guess i got tired of the automatic tan interior but i'm missing the auto 1jz now!.

thanks aka paco for the pics. that teal SC looks amazing! the wheels sit perfectly flush with the fender! and yes i do have my fenders rolled in the back. so i should be good with a 275 tire.

I may eventually, right now i just have other priorities with a baby on the way, and i spent all my boost money doing other things to the SC. If i end up keeping my SC and boosting it i'll more then likely go NA-T this time. I think the 1jz auto still would probably be more fun, I shift the W58 like it's made out of glass, I like having a 5spd but I know i won't romp on it as hard as i did the 1jz auto.

yeah man they sit flush as hell, I think they'd look good on the 97+ body too, I'm thinking about selling my volks and buying some chrome FR500's, I hate to give up volks for mustang replica's, but i hate worrying about damaging my wheels, I can't really afford to replace one Volk if i needed too..

Be sure and post some pics when you get the black saleens on! I love my SC and I love the mustangs to. Had several GT's in the family over the years.
