I've posted a pic of a local RX8 on here with rims that looked like the stock Rustang rims on it, but the pics was too far away to tell.. But I found him again at another gas station.. idk, you tell me

out of all the 'stang rims that doesn't look too bad. Only thing that is a fail is if he still has the original pony hub covers. That would be a fail.
Then again I like three spoke rims on the RX8.

I knew Saleen did work with other Ford vehicles other than the Mustang, but it only looks good on the Mustang.. idunno why they chose the focus.. they should have focused more on what its more commonly used for, rally racing lol

Tuner Saleen modified the second generation USA Focus into the S121 and N20 performance cars. The S121 includes a 150 hp (112 kW) Duratec 2.0L I4 engine with improved suspension, custom body kit, custom graphics, tire and wheel package, customized interior components, and optional upgraded brakes. The 10% performance boost to the factory Duratec 2.0l I4 engine was achieved by replacing the factory paper air filter with a more freely flowing reusable air cleaner and by replacing the restrictive factory exhaust with a cat back exhaust system. The N20 offers the same base engine and other improvements along with a factory installed nitrous oxide system that offers a 75 hp (56 kW) boost bringing the N2O to 225 hp (168 kW). The S121/N2O are sold as new at many Ford dealers. There were 200 S121/N2O's produced by Saleen in 2005.
That makes me laugh. By changing the filter, they called it good on power....

WUT.

Funny thing is, why go through all that custom work to make it look like something it is not only to advertise what it really is?
