I dunno...now that Saleen flooded the market with their auctioned goods, I feel like they're everywhere.

That's not really a big deal though. My main problem is that I don't think they have enough dimension...they are very flat? Even the lug holes remind me of a bowling ball.

Still, $500 is a great price for a good wheel.

Not as far as I know. The 20s, both chrome AND black finish, were also auctioned.

does anyone know what size tires saleen put on these wheels? I bought them.

Also, Did SALEEN use 20x10 all around?

No. They are 20x9 in the front.

Tire sizes are 275/35/20 in the front, and 275/40/20 in the rear.

I think it's going to be close! Looking at Saleen pictures, the front wheels seem to be almost flush with the fenders.

As soon as you get them, throw one on the front of your Mustang just to see where you stand before mounting the rubber.

the offsets are the same, just deeper i believe. suspension contact would be the main concern. but i read somewhere, a guy put rear GT500's on the front of his car. those are 10's arent they? an inch taller should move it higher away from the spring. ahh well, i will find out tomorrow

I've got the chrome 7-spoke Saleens on my ride; 20x9 up front and 20x10 in the back. I absolutely love them.
