Black or chrome Saleens?

[JebTonkin]

Well my dad just bought an atlantic blue 95' gt, the only thing he wants to modify is the wheels. He says he really likes my wheels, so I am going to propose to him that I will give him my wheels if he buys me a new set, which is a good deal for both, he gets the wheels he likes and I get a change. I figured it up and for wheels/tires it will be about a $100 more for 18 inch saleens, which I will pay. Anywho, what do you think for my car chrome or black, post pictures if you like. I like my black/polished rims because they accent the black top. I like noths colors but can't deicide so please help.

I think these would look kind of good on your car. They are 18x9 and 18x10 "hypercoated" Saleen Wheels from www.Mustangtuning.com

I thought about those, can you guys post some pics of red cars or any color with saleens.

I really don't know... I'm so used to seeing your car with balck wheels. I think the black chrome would look great but I think plain chrome is the way to go. I love my chrome saleens, you won't be disappointed. The ones pictured there are actually compatible with the saleen centercap. I got my centers from a guy on EBAY for ~$40.

Your car will perfome worse with those heavy 18'' Saleen wheels.

As a matter of fact I do, wouldn't trade them for anything. Especially some overpriced fikse wheels. :burn:

Thank man and yes I have heard him preach everything, I just like the looks better it won't kill the performance, I mean I felt a difference when I put on my bullits. BUt anyway jsut stay on topic and give me your opinion on color, thanks.

chrome or argent, no black

I have the chrome but I think the hypercoated will look better on blue, I dont like black. If you want black the fr500's look better.

wat he said

My cobra, ofocurse has enough power to still be more than fun. But it did slow down a lil. On my 95 GT, i couldnt even bark 2nd gear. The performance loss was so great, that if i powershifted or speed shifted, the whole car would just jerk and the clutch would screatch

I recently sold my 18/9 hyperblack wheels here are a couple of pictures. They would look great on your red cobra.

Keep the opinions coming. More pics please.
