Was bored
I had a clear day, so I got my new wheels installed.
06-09 styled Saleen S197's from AM.
More pics to follow when the weather is better...

You're right, I agree! I tried to change it, but you can't change an actual thread title.....
Anyhow, they're 20 x 9's up front. 20 x 10's out back.
255/35/20 and 285/30/20 respectively.
She's still away until the spring. Anxiously awaiting nice weather and taking some decent pics then....!

I really like those wheels. I'm young but old school and love conservative chrome wheels. I don't think I saw those when I bought the roush wheels. It would have been more difficult to decide lol good job!

Those look great!
FYI... if you happen to accidently slide into a curb like another member on here just did... those suckers shatter!
My brother had an '05 Saleen... took a slow turn slightly too fast on rain-drizzled asphalt, and slide into a curb. Both wheels shattered, like all spokes, to where it was just the hub attached...the rim was just wedged up in the fender-well. I'll try and find the pics of it at home.

Took me a while to decide....At one point I really wanted Boss 338's. Then these caught my eye, while on the AM site. I NEVER wanted "chrome" wheels, but these were not too blingy or juvenile, IMO.
A guy on AM claims to have bought 1 rim to replace an original Saleen. He later found out that the center caps didn't fit, which tells me that the AM wheels "may" be a slightly different rim (hopefully stronger).
"Knockoff" may not be the correct word, but they are not 100% the same.....
Either way, I am pleased.......Now let's bring on some nice weather! Spring can't get here fast enough!

any AM replica wheels will be very slightly different than the OEM wheel (i guess to avoid patent infringements). I really like how the saleens look on these cars.
