Anybody running this wheel on their car (18x9.5")? Looking for pics of it on a S197.

Are they even AVAILABLE? I fell in love with these back in 05 after seeing them on one of the first Steeda Q cars.

I waited over a year for Steeda to release them back when I had my black 05 and finally gave up... think they came out a year after that....

the only S197 I have seen running those is Dario's (Steeda) personal car

I think they discontinued the 17"; not the 18".

I would consider them if they gave the weight.

I ran those on my Black 99 35th GT Vert. I believe they were only 9" (18x9). Had a Wildwood brake set up on her. Plenty of clearance and no bump steer issues either. Alas, she was totalled on the way home from the 2003 MCA Grand National's Show in Augusta, along with her Custom Trailer and my then New F-150 Heritage Edition. Never had to make a payment on that truck, and it was the best F-150 I ever had.

Anyone considering this wheel found it anywhere cheaper than $230/wheel? Or at least places with cheap/free shipping?

Around 23lbs. I would have bought them, but the styling just didn't do it for me, so I went w/Pentars.

They'll go down if you haggle a bit. My Pentars were $199.99 + shipping.

Semi passed and blew a shoe. It hit the A-piller on our truck in front of the driver. Rain slicked road of course. Soooo a little turn here, a little turn there, and it was from Center Guard rail to the Ditch, almost instantly. I was not driving at the time, I was in the pass seat, and I was sure the mustang was along side me for a while. T'was a bad day in Philly on I-95.

NICE man!

How much did they run you? What tires you running on them?

Nice looking wheels ... I assume the oil on the floor isn't from the Mustang ...
