I like hypercoated or gunmetal wheels, myself. They're not as gimmicky as black chrome can be, they're not as common as chrome, and they have a certain edge to them. Chrome wheels on a black car? Nice, but you see that all the time. Gunmetal/hypercoated wheels? Looks like a threat.

To 8180: which wheels are those i.e. from where?

To everyone else: having some good fun here, I wouldn't ever dare to kick kittens (possibly drown them, but never kick the lil bastards).

I found them on eBay actually. I've been looking for months, and they were a great price. They're powder-coated Bullitt replicas

I personally dont like the look of bullitt wheels on the s197's I think they look much better on the 2000-2004 body style! But if you like them go for it.

hey guys thanks for all your opinons. Im a little worried about having 20 inch rims i too think there a little too big for our cars. I think 19's look great and i have plenty of tire on them. I just bought brand new tires for the 19's so it would be cheaper to go with the 2010 gt500 rims but i do like the deep dish with the polished lip. Anyone have pics of these rims on your cars that would help out alot.

8180designs- do you have a pic of them on the car and do you have a link to where you got them they dont look to bad either

I haven't gotten them yet, but I bought them from eBay seller: wheelindex

They may have more, or other variations

Kids say the darndest things...

17's don't have enough sidewall. I'd love to find a set of 15's to fit the rear with a nice set of 70 series with RWLs. Gettin' a woody just picturing it...
