Retailers Selling the Saleen Heritage 5-spoke wheel?

I am looking for a dealer and price quote on the H302 5 spoke 19" wheels. I can't find any dealers online except a few individuals on ebay and craigslist. Any ideas?

Here's the link: http://www.saleen.com/2008_h302_3v_specs.asp

Heritage Edition 5-Spoke Alloy Aluminum
Wheels with Saleen Center Cap
19” x 9” (F), 19” x 10” (R)

I'd like quotes on both the painted and chrome versions.

From what I understood, they all went out with the Saleen auctions last month. I myself tried to buy 2 pallets for my eBay store but was out bid, luckily so because most of the ones on eBay came from the Saleen auction and are flooding the market. I did see sets of 4 going for $400-$500 or so for chrome ones, which is a great price.

Good Luck

I'm discussing a purchase with an ebay seller right now. Any warning on purchasing this wheel combo for a GT/CS? Looks like the tire selection is fairly limited, but any other advice? I would be looking to buy the following with a Saleen (or Stoptech equivalent BBK)?

(2) Front 19 x 9 30 offset Wheels P/N 06-1401 C16508A
(2) back 19 X 10 50 offset Wheels P/N 06-1401 C16509A

I think the wheels will look great! I have seen a few sets in person and love them. The tire selection is a bit limited as you already noted due to the size of the wheels.

I would recommend going with the sizes that Saleen uses.

Just make sure you're getting the right size.

My 07 H281 came with a 18" x 9", 5 spoke wheel, a one year only option.
The spoke is shaped a bit different then the H302 19" model.

Recently saw that Saleen is again offering this wheel on the new Racecraft models in 9" and 10" widths.
(Should be available thru their SpeedLab parts division.)
So this may be another option if you want to stay with a 18" rim and have a larger tire section.

The 19" version has been popping up on Ebay for under $500 for the set, it sounds like a great deal for a good looking rim.

Still trying to work the deal via ebay. These are the 19 inch wheels (not the 18 inch) according to the seller. Some more questions (and thanks for the responses so far):

1. How is the chrome quality from Saleen? I read online some of their older wheels had issues; is this still a problem?
2. Where can a get valve-stems? Do these wheels take a standard version or would I need to order them from Saleen?
3. What size is the center cap? I want to use a mustang tri-bar, but I don't know the saleen cap diameter.
4. Bump on the brakes question - can anyone confirm that these will fit the Saleen kit since the fronts have a 30mm offset?

Did you pull the trigger on the wheels? I'm also thinking of buying a set.

NO, Saleen made them in chrome only.

Tire selection isn't to bad for a 19 X 10 in my opinion, I'd pull the trigger on these before they are all gone

I actually bought (3) vehicles sets from the auction and put one set on my ride with Nitto 555 and looks great!

Naw'. The chrome 5-spoke 19" H302 N/A wheels were an option. Standard was silver painted ones. The H302 S/C got the '07 PJ wheels in silver. The 2008/09 Gurney car has charcoal 19" 5-spoke Heritage wheels.
