I purchased an oxford white 03 Cobra last month and have been considering changing the wheels from Chrome 18" Saleen's to the newly released Charcoal Saleen's from AM. What are your opinions on AM' s Charcoal finish, and would they match the car? Changing the top this week from tan to black.

Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully others will chime in. I'm curious to hear what others think. I'm finding that there aren't too many wheel options available

Hey twin!!! I prefer a little bling on mine, so I will always have chrome or polished wheels.

Your new wheels will match nice with the black top. :beer:

Twins for sure white snake! Your car is awesome! I really like the chrome but want my car to look different from the way it looked when I made the purchase. I agree that white looks goods with chrome or polished wheels. I'm leaning toward the purchase because it is a new release and different. I think the center caps take away from the wheel. Do you know if the SVT center caps would fit?

I don't think svt ones fit saleens, but you could buy some OEM saleen center caps and put those in. I think that would look best!

pretty cool they brought them back...I used to have those on my old 02 GT back about ten years ago. Always got a lot of compliments on them. I'll try and dig up a pic

Hard to say if the center caps will fit. Wheel replica saleens have a smaller diameter center cap. I think American Muscle uses stack racing which have the larger diameter caps so the stock SVT caps sill fit.

I made my own SVT caps for my Saleen reps as mine are the wheel Replicas.

Did you mount those charcoal wheels. I'm in a similar dilemma I just bought a white vert with chrome wheels and thinking of putting charcoal ones on!

There's an OW coupe that is wearing these and it looks fantastic. Trying to find the link to the thread now, will post up if I can find it.
