i want to install the kb real bad... its been sitting in my room just stairing at me. I want to get everything done to the car first then install the kb. Once the kb is on i want to just save money till motor goes boom... then i can forge it then turn the boost up!!

anyways im thinking the black fr500's black with polished lip

I was gonna get the black fr500's but then I thought that would be too much black for me. So I got the chrome... and havent put them on yet..

GO WITH THE BLACK FR500'S OUT OF THOSE 2 CHOICES, BUT I WOULD REALLY SAY GO WITH SOME BLACK 03 COBRA RIMS.

i dont want to do too much black, thats why im choosing the black w/polished lip to break it up... also a polished billet gas cap

Posted by MODMOTORZ (Member # 5954) on :
 
then i'd say go with the chrome saleen rims 18x9 and 18x10.5, that should look mean

Those will be quite heavy

Just buy mine

I had 18" Chromw Saleens on my GT w/ a 295/30 Pirelli but a 35 series would have been better.

And i say 265/35 up front.

yeah they will be a little heavier than my 17x9's but they will look 100x better especially with some 295 dr's

FWIW, I ordered 265/35 and 295/35 for my 18x9/10 FR500's

Saleen and Roush used them if I'm not mistaken
