17" or 18" Cragar S/S, Series 612.



But I'm all retro-y, so take that with a grain of salt.

Also, just about any wheel over 18" looks silly on the S197s... But that's just my opinion too.
Silly, huh? How about these?

People have different preferences I like the 20 inch look fills the wheel well more. But I need some rubber.

And 2 Nitro's YES if i could find someone to sell 2 more I'd be in good shape. I might end up going with those but only being 18 my income is short. I have yet to get my CAI or Borla's yet.

Yeah, a litle big for my taste and mildly silly. I like to see a little more rubber in the wheel well. Those wheels are at least tasteful, and as such not nearly as bad as some. Still, were it me, I'd've gone smaller. If you like it, by all means. I just wanted to throw my opinion out there. Also, the shinier the wheel, the sillier it looks at that size. For instance, the new style Cragar S/S in 20"...



Not my style.

I'm kind of asking about the overall look of the wheel its self.

The wheel go with the look of your car we I can't say yes or no until I see it with the bodykit lowered maybe you should do them last cause right now I would say hell no son

Yes it's lowered 1.5 inches and the side skirts appear to lower it too, however they are the same height as the stock ones. The difference is that theydo not have the crease that the stock ones have, and do nottuck under the car, making it look lower than stock.

As for the overall look of the wheel....I'm not a fan. A bit pretentious if you ask me. But it's your car man if you like them get them.

I think the 18" rims look perfect on the S197, especially staggered with wider tires on the back.
When the car has full ground effects however, the 20" seems only natural.

Just my advice, I wouldn't even worry about wheels until you get it lowered and get your CAI and tune. It's up to you, but that's the way that I would prioritize it, both for looks and the money that those upgrades cost.
