I narrowed it down to 3 wheels. I want to go with 18 but not sure what tire size I can use. Here are the 3 choices also if anyone has 18 on a fox what tire size are you useing?

I like all of them but i would go with the cobra r's or the bullits:awsome:
Well I'm going to cancel out Rob's vote.
I'm all for the saleens. Hypercoated/gunmetal would look pretty sick too depending on what you have done for to your car. Can you post up some pics of it?

Second ones.
For 18s on a Fox, probably 245-255 frontand 275-295 rear depending on your suspension---definitely roll the fenders.

Still loving the saleens :)

I hear ya, can't go wrong w/ Saleens. But I don't like the all black, the hypercoat is a sweet color/look and I've been thinking of it for my blue car.

Can't believe you want to kill that glossy red paint with black wheels. In other words I like chrome or polished! Out of the 3 to choose from, I vote for the deep dished wheels.

I like chrome but it is pricy! PLus my whole motor is red and black. I wanted to keep it with black wheels unless I can find some nice ones in chrome

im gonna have to agree with the saleens. On that car, they would look so sick.

Damn MBH, I get a chubby everytime I see your car with those wheels. I wanted those but just couldn't justify spending the $$$. So I bought the Black Bullets with the chrome lip, 10 and a half deep dish rear. Same as Mineralrob on here.

I like those also. Roll those fenders or you'll get rubbing for sure. Are you lowered?

I have ford racing c springs. I am leaning towards the saleens but I love the chrome lip on the cobra r's. Can anyone photoshop the saleens on my car for me?

Those wheels are going to look good on your car. I always like the black bullets on white.

Thanks Rob, I'm looking forward to getting them and putting them on. Hopefully they will be here early next week. I'm gonna put BFG 315 drags on the rear.:pepper:

If you go to advanced you could get plastic chrome spinners tonite and be done with it! I'm for the black with crome lip, it will be sweet with the engine compartment

Of the three, I like the black center / polished lip ( choice #2 ).
But I think a set of chrome Saleen Speedsters would look amazing...:rolleyes:
These are for '94-'04, but you get the idea...

and these anthracite ones are pretty sweet...kindof a middle ground between chrome and black...

polished, but still pretty nice...and relatively cheap

And then there is always the "black chrome" finish available - and it would probably look better on a red car than any other color...
sorry - got carried away on the ebay stuff there... Your car will look sweet with any of the rims you have narrowed your choice to. I saw it when I bought Jason's SC, and it is super nice!
Have fun shopping!!!
