Actually that is only a little more than $500.00 a rim for 20". Not that bad of a price if you ask me. I was looking at 18" Beverly Hills rims by GFG and they wanted $1400.00 a piece.

I know in the past, Saleen's wheels were magnesium..... that would explaine the price of these. Mags are always crazy expensive... that's like getting the Halibrand Magnesium Knock-offs (not knock off as in fake, but as in functional, not street legal racing wheels -- GT40, AC Cobra's, etc.) They are about $2000 per wheel.

No. They are manufactured in the US. Sorry if you do not believe me, but you are wrong.

Does anyone have info on where to buy the rims only for the $2000 price and also what P-Zero sizes come with the set?

Are these rims only available in chrome? They look white in some pictures...

Not sure but i think on the saleen site where it shows the options for the new 05 it shows the rims (wheels) that come with the different color cars and they do come in white rims as well as other finishes. Unfortunately, however, i havent seen any for sale other than the chrome ones. Dont know why, but it seems the other finishes, at least for the present, are only coming with the car from saleen, maybe in the near future saleen will have them available along with the chrome ones.
