artmx47, i may be wrong, but in general i think 19" tires are harder to come by and also run more expensive than 18s or 20s. however, those tsw's look pretty nice.

As for a before shot, just picture a bone stock 05 sonic blue GT with bullitt wheels
Quoted from a guy who used to have the TSWs but got rid of them for a set of FR500s

TSW rims are notorious for their soft aluminum- I'd stay away.

That was not my car, its just a car that had the TSW rims that Art was interested in.

However I used to have a 2001 Roush Mustang which as you know comes with Roush suspension and body pieces and it was VERY tough to drive around town. Though I had a worse time with the side exhaust scraping then I did with the front fascia.

They're anthracite, and the correct offset for our cars. Couldn't tell you the numbers on the offset but they're made specifically for S197s. I got them through a tire shop that ordered them from American Racing. They're awesome wheels, pretty unique as of right now. I almost went with bullits but everyone has them.

Nice Stallion! What are the specifics on the suspension? And how do you like the Proxes 4's?

Thanks .... the suspension for now is just Eibach Sportline springs .... and so far I like the Proxes 4s a lot .... the car rides really smooth .... a lot better than the bfg's I had before with a similar set-up.
