Opinion on New Rims

So what do you guys think these rims would look like on an SC?

They are in the right bolt pattern with a +38MM offset.

I wish the center section was not as "fat", also I hate the cheap snap on center cap, I would rather they just finish it off nice and expose the lug's. Haha next wheel....
 
No more guessing. I picked these up yesterday!

Although I would like to change the 245/40/18 Nitto's out for a set of 245/45's in the front and wider in the back. Are Nitto 555's still the recommended tire for our SC's on an 18" wheel?

Now, I just have to decide what to do with my 17" Cobra R's and new tires... hmmm...

I've been looking at buying a set of those chrome 18" Saleen speed stars (9" wide) for my 93 SC. I was planning to go with 245-45-18 front and 275-40-18 rear. There are several brands of tires in that size. I like the Nitto 555s, but would also use Falken 452s or Cooper Zeons like I've got on my 91 SC.

You made the right choice Sam! Those wheels are what I hope to get once somebody tears up a pair and sells them to me cheap. ;):p
 
Nittos you tend to get the best bang for your buck.

Dave you can get these staggered. 10" out back 40mm offset i believe

You mean like these? :cool:

Damn! The chrome really shows how dirty the car is! My SC needs a good wash and wax! :eek:

I definitely need to put different tires on too since the car is at stock height. Can anyone use a set of 245/40/18 Nitto 555 Tires? Less than 10k on them.
 
Here are the before and after comparisons...

Thought Kathy shook you off last time you tried to throw that pitch.

Paul,

Yeah she did, but that was before she ordered $1500 worth of software for her fancy pants sewing machine as a Mother's Day gift from me. I just ordered the same Saleen wheels and some matching tires from Brad as my Father's Day gift from her :)

David

PS: Macros, got any pics of the Saleens on the car with the new tires ?

A well thought out plan.

Just keep reminding Kathy that she came out ahead. (whether true or not)

Leaves a little wiggle room for the next one.
