what do you think about these wheels for a 1998 mustang
http://oewheels.net/oe-saleen-c-t.jpg
i think that these will look =very good but i just want to get a second opinion. oh and btw these are only 1070 dollars and they come with tires and the mustnag symbol in the middle can be changed with a cobra one if your daring enough or have a cobra...

They look good. just how's the quality
I'd buy wheels from a respectable site. always was afraid od what came in through Ebay.
How big are they, how much do they weigh, can effect how fast your car will go.
I see you rated mine in my gallery they were like 1200 with a wheel locking kit, and they come in balanced anmdweighted and ride to bolt on the tires them selves are excellent as well, Kuhmo Ecsta MX are I think Z or Y rated, fast, and are very sticky and a nice tred design. from tirerack
so i dunno if this helps any and they dont say how much they weight nor do they say that they will slow the car down (but i dont think they would say that even if they did)
so i dunno if this helps any and they dont say how much they weight nor do they say that they will slow the car down (but i dont think they would say that even if they did) oh also they have them without tires for around 500 dollars and i was wondering about the tire quality aswell.
18x 9 is gonna weigh down a lot, you're gonna go slower.
unless you up the gear ratio.
and I dont trust Replicas or, I just like to know who made them ford racing etc.... that's just me you do what you want
and check out the weight.
The replicas typically weigh a LOT more than Ford Racing, or real Saleen wheels.
You get what you pay for . .. .

they really don't slow you down THAT much. its not very noticeable. If you're not a hardcore racer don't worry about it. If you are, keep your stock wheels and toss on some drag radials. Then when you go to the track you've got lighter weight wheels and super sticky tires. Then on the way home you're lookin good again. Plus if you ever hit a curb or anything that really screws up a wheel you've got a backup set while the other set is getting fixed.

yeah, they do.
Do 4 runs on two days, and you'll see a big difference.
1st big wheels,
2nd 1 size smaller,
3rd stock
4 1 size larger.
Since v6 wheels are cheap, and run from 15 inches to 18 inches, you'll see a HUGE difference from the 15" wheels, and the 18" wheels if they're already on your car.

my cobra has saleen on it and i think it looks great. my cobra origianlly came with 17x8 argent cobra wheels. when i replaced them with my saleens i didn't notice any difference in speed. the SIZE of the wheel doesn't make the difference, its the overall height of the wheel/tire combination. his stock v6 wheels with the stock tires might be taller than the saleen 18s with the low pro tires. thus making the car a little faster off the line.
however, adding heavier wheels does reduce your braking effiency. don't forget that!
and by the wat if those saleen replicas WITH tires are only $1100 that is saving him a shlt load of money over not buying original Saleen's. Saleens are $500 EACH for a 18x9 chrome wheel! so that would be $2000 just for the wheels plus figure about $250 per tire for some decent treads. so a complete saleen package is about $3000. that saves him $1900! in fact, here's the Saleen pricing its almost $3,000!!!!!! http://commerce.saleen.com/Category....geType=Catalog

but the Saleen Originals are lightweight.
If it affects your braking, it affects your aceleration. Newton's Law, Physics 101.
The weight distribution also affects the acceleration of an object. An object of the same weight requires more energy to turn at the same speed the farther from the centerpoint the mass resides.
Larger wheels will always decrease acceleration, but it can be mitigated by lighter weight.

larger wheels will NOT ALWAYS decrease acceleration, if the overall height if the tire/wheel is the same size and both weigh the same, the acceleration would be equal.

No, because the mass is further concentrated towards the edge of the wheel.
Do this. If you're in a swivel chair, spin in place, with your legs pulled in, then slowly extend your legs, then pull them back in.
The mass is exactly the same, but the fartherout a part of your mass is from center the slower you will go.
When you pull them back in, you will spin faster.
Figure skaters use this property of physics often in their routines.
