Bill, do tell!!! do tell!!! Man I HATE the fact that I am going to England, it just puts my plans on hold. Mike at Powerhouse will get my car in a year and a half or so though. And you'll get it shortly after that to refresh the paint!

Keep up the good work Bill!!!!

Even lowered the car seems to have a rake and looks great.I believe you have hit a home run with this wheel/tire mod.It definately compliments the front bumper cover and rear spoiler.

I love the rims! I still think the best rim combo for these cars is 19 all around or 18/19 if you want a slight rake...Good work none the Less - Those wheels are expensive!!

...and those were some pretty hard miles...its not been babied for sure. were getting ready to flame the car, start building a new motor and I'm going to do some cosmetic things that I would never do on a daily driver as far as painting and polishing, like really detailing the underside , rear end ect. ( and rewiring the entire underhood area) It will probably still see a lot of driving because its so much fun ...but it wont see any rain again unless I'm trapped out there in it....LOL!!!! Now I'm cooking up some fire for my new truck too....bought the thing already lowered, tuned, exhausted, and wheeled and still cant stop....this is an addiction for sure!!!

I like the 19's too but filling up the wheelwells with a 19 inch tire is E X P E N S I V E!!!!!!

these wheels werent cheap by any means but after about 10 sets of tires they will be worth it in tire savings.....LOL....perfect example how an addict justifys things huh???? crack or heroin would be MUCH cheaper...ROFLMAO!!!!

Yea I hear you on that, I was looking into a set of 19" HRE 547 and tires are expensive as HELL! I might try to just go all out with 20s as they are cheaper tire wise, but who knows...I could just be normal and go with 18 all around...Any idea how 18/20 staggered wheels would look?

Absolutely insane!
One of the cleanest S197s I've seen.
And I'm likin' the red Running Horse decal in the 1/4 windows.
I'd like to snag a couple of those.

I thought about 19 on front and 20 on rear but decided to go the same.....I dont think 2 size difference would look good , just my taste.
