Just double check that they take the same size center caps as the real saleens. i have heard some companies that make the replicas dont take the saleen center caps.

Call Jesse at LFP, tell him about the price on those wheels. He cut me a great deal on my 18" saleens

I have a set of REAL Saleens on the front ( 18X9), and Replica 18X10's on the rear. The chroming is about the same in my opinion.....

All 4 of my wheels are from them. Been on my car now for over 30,000 miles. No issues. Very high quality. Saleen caps worked on my set.

I'd love 18x9 and 18x10 gun metal saleens. I'm having a hard time finding them.

I have (4) Real Saleens [all 18x9's], but I am thinking about possibly replacing the rear one's with 18x10 replicas
Do you recommend doing this? (As all will not techniquely match?)

You can get nice fat 315's on the rear. If you choose to sell 2 of the rims, pm me on here or on the m1r. I may be interested.
