pics of your rx7 with saleen wheels
 
Im thinking about buying saleen replica wheels (black) and owuld just like to see if anybody here has them on there fd or has a pic saved on there computer of them. The add doesnt tell me the offset but i know there 18x9. Ill have to look more into the offset of the wheel before i actually buy them but Id just like to see some pics ofs the wheels on the FD as i like them and the reasonably priced.

there is a thread somewhere for mustang wheels. Might try looking there I am sure someone has pics of saleen wheels in there

ive never seen mustang wheels on an FD.
the 18x9 saleen wheels are +24 offset, which is very FD unfriendly. you'd need skinny ass tires or flares.
2005+ mustang wheels will fit, but a quick search didnt turn up any saleen style wheels. the 05+ 18x10's have a +45 offset, which is perfect. see if theres any of those you like.

edit: i just found a set of saleen wheels - http://www.americanmuscle.com/2005wheels.html
near the bottom.

I won a set on ebay today with tires for a price a couldnt resist, even if they dont fit. Ill have them by the weekend and ill post pics of it. But yea hopefully the knock off ones that i bought arent a +24 offset cause they will go right back for sale if they are.

Josh18_2k 03-24-08 09:16 PM

did you get them for 98-04 or 05+?
cuz im pretty sure only the 05+ wheels will be fitting.

98-04... My buddy repairs cnc machines for a living so he has some well established cliets that will do work for him for pennies. So worst case senerio, they dont fit i will just get about 6-8mm shaved off.

Turns out the wheels fit fine. Im not exactly sure on the offset but i think its +35. The fronts sit about as flush as its going to get while the rears could use a .5inch spacer.

those fit.. way different than i expected. what size are those? they really look like 05+ wheels due to the offset

georgekobe8 04-08-08 07:27 AM

well like i said there replicas so the offset might not be the same as oem. They came of a 02 mustang.
