I want to get your guys' opinions on which wheels to get. Finally, I found 2 guys that want to trade Saleens for my FR500's, but I'm stuck trying to decide if I want chrome or hyperblack.

I'm sure a lot of you have seen this pic already, but here's how it currently looks with FR500's...

Here's a pic of a Cobra with Hyperblack Saleens...

Hyperblack for sure. Chrome is too common. You drive a unique car, give it unique wheels.

Posted by the02stangman (Member # 6223) on :

Hyperblack would look good with the silver Saleen stripes. Plus I think Hyperblacks look good on black cars.

Posted by CLEEN 50 (Member # 5867) on :

I second the hyperblack. Go with unique, the hyperblack is more subtle than the chrome but gives it a one of a kind look. Either way you win tho. Both finished are bad ass. Good luck [patriot]

hyperblacks always look like they are dirty with brake dust to me.

my $.02

Posted by Cobraboy (Member # 7826) on :

i would go with these...

just my opinion though

Posted by Cobraboy (Member # 7826) on :

actually you should get the saleens... the wheels i posted look too much like the ones you have.

Posted by gt from 650 (Member # 6717) on :

black

Posted by S281 #314.... AKA SydeWayzSix (Member # 3596) on :

Definitely not BLACK..that looks doesn't really cut it for me.

I do agree with all of you guys about the Hyperblack. At some angles it looks polished, some angles look gunmetal, and some angles look silver. Kind of weird but I like it [Big Grin]

I think I'm going to go this route [patriot]

Posted by Diamond Dave (Member # 5023) on :

I agree. Silver or Hyperblack would look the best. Chrome 99+ rims look awkward on 94-98 Saleens for some reason. If you wanted chrome, I'd look for a set of chrome Speedlines, but that's $$$.

I was actually planning on painting mine silver too.

Posted by Diamond Dave (Member # 5023) on :

And hyperblack looks the best in person when they are freshly cleaned. No other color like it.

I like the hyperblack,....

Posted by gt from 650 (Member # 6717) on :

okay...hyperblack looks much better. [patriot]

Posted by 98saleen (Member # 7459) on :

go with whatever you think looks good. who cares what everyone else likes

Posted by Dave50 (Member # 5238) on :

Changing the color of a wheel, to me doesnt make them "unique" If you want a unique wheel get a "unique" wheel, stern, fikse, bbs, etc. If I painted my stocks pink would you color guys be jockin?

yeah do it! [Razz]

Posted by S281 #314.... AKA SydeWayzSix (Member # 3596) on :

Yea, I know my final decision will be what I WANT...but I wanted everyone's opinions because maybe they'd show me examples that may change my mind. I was leaning towards the hyperblack since I never really liked chrome wheels, but if I saw a badass example, my mind could change.

thanks for all the input guys and yes, i have made my mind that the hyperblack saleens will look best on my car [patriot]

when it come to rims on a Cobra or Saleen, Dave has put just about every wheel there is on one....listen to his advice on this...

lol

Well here's a couple of photoshopped pics of my car with the hyperblack saleens and the chrome saleens. They dont look too different but the hyperblack ones look way more aggressive and flow a lot better with the car.
