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.

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.
