So I got rid of the Saleens, and got some 99gt's finally. I'm probably going to get bitched at for getting rid of the Fr's and Saleens, but its not your ride.. so blahh. Anywhoo, here they are. Oh, and BTW, for any of you who have never went out and purchased 4 new tires, and had them mounted and balanced correctly, I suggest you do. These General UHP's hook good for some 245 street tires. They don't hardly spin when I punch it in second, and don't break loose to bad in first easing into it, 350$ installed, not bad. Ive alway's bought used tires and are never happy. These handle great, and ride soooo smooth. Plus, I can pack 4 people in my car, drive hwy 80, and not rub!!
Ill get some better pictures when I can, these are just some quickies. How's my new camera I got for xmas look?

I have always liked those wheels. Personally i think they look better than the fr's and the saleens did on your particular ride.

I think its a simple, clean, and balanced look.
It doesn't have that aggressive, "damn look at those rear tires" look, but that is not for everyone.

Thanks guys! I like simple. Agressive's cool for some people, but these are a bit more sleeper to me.

How about some 94-98 axles to push the wheel flush with the fender?

I would have to totally redo my rear disk for longer axels. I used a modified lincoln rear end to convert to five lug, and keep my fox width.

I am visualizing one more set of wheels that would look great on your car (more attractive finish too)

Looks good
Fr500's looked wrong, the whole black wheel tredn sucks ass!
Saleens looked even worse, maybe it was the homo tire size!
The Current Wheels, Cant say those are my first choice of Wheels but looks right for some reason!

+1
might as well fully upgrade the rear & swap in a complete '94-'98 disc rear end & roll them fenders! That would be sick! Wheels look good too I like those

The fenders are rolled already. Not the best in the world but rolled. Thanks for the compliments guys. I know I'm crazy for switching wheels so much but you will definateley see me rollin these for a while, well at least the next 6 months. Im thinking about switching over to a sn95 rear end, its a pain finding drilled and slotted rotors for saleen/lincoln/svo rear disk. I just like that there already an 11.5 rear rotor and big ass pistons, they stop great!
