Look @ what i found (an alternative route!!!)

I'm assuming it's phone number orders only. I browsed their entire 5x108 inventory. No "order now" anywhere to be found.

Being that our bolt pattern is a pain in the @ss when it comes to sick wheels, I can't afford doing the hub swap on my car so these are the little options we have. SALEENS seem to be on backorder indefenitely on either sites. I don't think they will be making them in a looooong time. They do that so that you desire them way more. Watch, mark my word, SALEENS are coming back for way more money than before.

By the way I also found this page(Nice new OEM's):

For some reason, those wheels just never have appealed to me. Not sure why. They look ok but to me, they don't belong on a Mark. Not saying they're ugly on one either but just not meant for one. Maybe it's an age thing. I used to like Saleen's but then 4 out of 10 Mark owners were getting them. I know some people don't like Octi's but, I feel like they belong and belong even more on a Gen 1. Good thing about them, I only know of one other person with a Gen 1 with Octi's and that's Dan. The wheels you choose, I think, define personality but really, it's preference.

Y'all don't take me wrong now. Just because you or some of you like them on Marks, I'm in no way bashing at you for having them or wanting them. It's all about what you like and not everyone likes the same thing. Most all of the Marks on here all look good as hell, no matter what wheels you have. The main thing is, you're keeping it alive and going. That's what's important!

$264.75 for one chrome 10 lmao. That is one wheel that has a decent look but having the silver ones for so long, I got sick of them. I'll never own another set of 10 spokes again, not even if someone offered them to me in chrome for $50 free shipping for 4 of them with no curb rash or flaking chrome. I'd buy them but would be ebaying them the same day for $300. :)

I honestly have to say that Chris, IMO has the best looking wheel on his 96 but some will not think the same. 20's aren't for everyone but that has a lot to do with one's age and preference but the wheels he has is what makes his Gen 1 what it is today. Put some chrome 10's on it or Octi's and then your whole illusion of that car will change, big time.
 
I have to agree, everyone has their own taste however some ppl tend to follow the crowd instead of doing their own thing. I have 2 different model wheels that I have my eye on. They're not Cobra's, SALEEN's, etc... They are both 5 spoke wheels & they are both pretty damn unique. When that day comes that I officially have them installed on my black '97 I will offer my current Cobra R's however one member on here has dibs on them should that day ever come.
 
a hub swap and a set of stang saleens will take way less time.
and maybe less money too. cuz if a set of black saleens comes up for sale, i bet it will be quite pricey.
 
Thjats the company that did ours when we used to sell them, great wheel. Just call me for the Cstar center caps or Lincoln Stars.
