i personally like the looks of 18", 19" and 20" rims on the S197..... i would like to go with 18s on my GT500 but the only issue i am having is finding rims that fit the front brakes that i like.... I do still have my Black and machined CS40s that i can put on but trying stay with 18s....

20" does not fit this car at all. I can't for the life of me figure out why so many think that. Unless of course you're black and into that donk/dub thing. Seriously, 20" makes these look like a frickin hot wheels toy car. Just plain hideous to have so much wheel and so little rubber.
I'm not even a fan of 18" but that's where the tires are.
To me, 20" is no better than this:

Shella,
Anyway, to the point the 19's are close enough in size and do look great as well, but there's a reason why even SHELBY put's 20's on his cars and I think your car looks right at home with 20's because the eleanor kit fill out the car and makes it look beefier and meaner and the 18's simply don't cut the bread.
I still dont think there is a better rim then the 20' black chrome fr500's (thats why im stilllll waiting for them on backorder) but I know you have good taste and I'm sure you'll find something nice if you decide to change.
By the way what did you do with your old FR500's??

As for the old set of wheels (FR500's)...I have a fella driving here today from outside of the DC area to get them.
Your awards pretty much speak volumes to the ones that doubt your work.
