I just voted for 18" RWL, but both 17" or 18" would look great on the S197, IMO.

I had to vote for the 17 in RWL tire cause 17's are what I have. I don't think someone could go wrong if they made them in 17's and 18's for ours sizes.

17" with raised white letters gets my vote. It would look realy retro with the bullets and tribar spinners that a lot of us have on our 05s.

Anybody have a link to where you can buy those tires? I've been looking for 17' Raised White letter tires for a while. Can't find them on the Good year site or anywhere else for that matter.

I've always liked raised white letters and would have them put on all my stangs up until my 97 because I couldn't find anything in a 17" or larger diamter.

Until somebody makes 'em, I'm just going to make my own - if it doesn't look too cheesy:

You can get them a little cheaper here, but I don't vouch for their services.
