Default My Saleens and then some :)


Hi guys,
A couple of weeks ago I bought a set of wheels, and today I had enough time to take them to tireshop for 4 tires, my patience was running out after the distiributor of the wheels who I bought them from shipped one of wheels wrong(3week delay). So after receiving my last one today, I decided to mount tires and take a few pics of my rear fender, just for right now for you guys to enjoy right now.
I didnt have time to put all the wheels on, because I dont have a right lugnuts and my suspension needs to be raised a little to clear fenders
I think it looks great for right now, and it turned out exactly how I wanted! I'am sure you guys know what wheel this is. 18x9 +24 all 4 with 235/40/18s
There is more to come...
Thanks for looking

I love the rims but 235 in the back sound kinda slim.

looks good, i put saleens on my first SC and loved them.. except i had a 17x9 up front with a 245, and a 18x10 in rear with a 275 +22..

I am diggin those white calipers too, brake dust will probably suck though lol..



looks great so far though.

Aka Paco: You're the one who inspired me with your green car, I couldnt find any better looking wheels for the price given. The offset is perfect for me.

Hats off to you
