I dont like them, the point where the spokes meet the rim ruin it IMO. You got any parts leftover from the R/T?

While there is something to be said about being different, there is something else to be said about "you're doing it wrong"

I was never a fan of those wheels at all, but thats just my personal taste. I hate big clumsy looking wheels like that. They look like they should go on a truck, not on a cobra.

While saleens might be played out according to this site, its tried and true and they look fantastic. Sometimes it best to stick to what works.

I like them for a change of pace... but is there anyway you can run just a 1/2 inch spacer on the rear? It sticks out a little for my taste, or maybe if you lowered it more and rolled the fenders :)

They are on the wrong car, sell them.

I borrowed Posi's wheel spacers which were 1/2" and yeah they make the tires clear but they still dont bring the tires to the fender

Before reading any of your posts, that is exactly what has been going through my head.
I have a screen saver at work that scrolls through about 250 sn-95 pics, and kept counting how many I have saleens, but damn they look good.

I like the wheels.

The rears need tucking at least a 1/4" more than what they are...lose the 1" spacer...

Drop the front a little; or see if it settles and you'll be set.

^Exactly! I saw the car today and it looks good. Pixer likes the tire all the way out to the fender but I agree with you. I like mine tucked under the car just a hair.
