Yay or Nay? S197 Rim Opinion

[Dasfinc]

These popped up on sale on American Muscle, and I quite like the wheel, and the color, but they are 18's (so 1 inch smaller than the real OEM ones).

I think 18's don't look bad with a drop (which is also in the near-term to happen), and I'd just re-use my tires.

I'd also heard mixed feelings about 19's/20's with a K spring drop (1.5 inch), so I was thinking this may be a good ride quality compromise as well?

Thoughts?

i wouldn't go to a smaller wheel on a mustang unless i was going to a strip setup...

that being said, tcg wbody owners should unite and buy the fuck out of these things.

My car has OEM 18's since I don't have a Track Pack Car

Can I see it on the car, at first glance I am intrigued.

can't tell if I like or hate

I like the wheels personally. The trend of wheel style has definitely been leaning a lot toward multi spoke euro looking wheels vs a 5 spoke which is a lot more common on American cars

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

vmr v710 wheels would look good on that car too

 

[rz79]

I agree with offshore and Emerson ... I like something outside the common 5 spoke. A pic of your model/color wearing them in the finish you want would help.

I love them on the GT500 when it's that powdery blue color.

v710s


I have the same wheels for the bimmer

VMR makes sexy wheels. Popular with the GTO crowd too. Which just made them less desireable to everyone else.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

they're very affordable too

V718's for my summer tires on the GTI

Don't they sell direct for the same price? Are they even available for a ford bolt pattern?

Looks like they are available in 5x114.3 but offered in offsets that best suit a G35/37 or 350/370Z. Not sure how that works with a mustang.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

call them. they have wheels blanks sitting around undrilled

That is the most copied wheel for a Mustang. There are like 8 different companies out there making them with correct offsets for mustangs. Cheap too. I like the MMR version the best as they have the deepest "dish" to them. A lot are very flat looking for the front wheel.

Wheels in the OP look fantastic on S197s. I'd love to have them.
