I don't like them that much, especially for $1200 a piece.

Ok so for now I've decided to order a replica wheel and sell the damaged one. I may be looking into the after market wheel industry later on...

Here's a thought, can the bad rim be used as a spare tire? After all, if you get a flat in the rear, you DO NOT want to use differing diameter tires as hard on rear end.

measure the spare well and see (probably won't fit though)

The color combo looks great! I am more a fan for multi-spoke and thinner spoke wheels...it definitely helped to make up my mind regarding the color though..appreciate the help!!

I realize that both pics are of the same car, but like the lower look better. Can you tell me if it "usually" more silver or black in the light?

P.S. Please no more excessive URL addresses as this oversized post screen is a PITA (I realize that it is not on purpose but it sucks!)

Its a light gun metal but if the shadow is right they look dark. IMO gun metal is the best of both worlds. The gun metal rims look great with my silver stickers and the contrast to the my brakes are perfect.

With your car you could run some pretty agressive offsets.

what about this. purchase 2 saleen 20 x 10s for the rear. then sell the other 9 inch wheel to offset the cost.
this may allow for an even larger footprint in the rear with the right tire.

Funny you say that because I am already working on dong so. I'm thinking of selling my two rear wheels and purchasing 20x10 replicas for a better stance and for better traction and it wouldnt cost me anything

You will need different tires. So if it still won't cost you anything, tell me your secret

Do a search on that..big discussion on 20X10 tire sizes.

In short, there aren't any options that give you the same sidewall height as the front tires. The Pirellis that come on the 10" Saleen rims from the factory aren't even as wide (treadwise) as the stock 9" rim/tire combo.

AFAIK, from what I have read, no company makes that perfect size to match up sidewall height wise with the front 20X9's.
