Some of the wheel sites will let you paste the image of your wheel choice over the side view of your car.

You can perhaps do a better job yourself if you take a side view picture of your own car and paste the wheel images yourself. If nothing else, you'll get your car's exact color and any other visible mods or details.

Put the resulting picture away for a few days and don't even look at it. Try to not even think about it.

When you finally do open it up, pay attention to your first "gut-reaction". With a little luck, you'll know then if you really like it.

you run twin pipes or just a single kev?
Thanks, Rudolph!
I have a single Pypes Streetpro exhaust. Duals do look much better, but does not add much performance gain. I decided to stay with a single.

OK, if I stay with the silver/chrome wheel, I'd prefer Polished over chrome. Does anyone know who makes a Cobra R style wheel in polished that will fit S197? I find them for 94-04 all over. Looks like offset and backspacing is different though.

Close Mayo, I found those. I never really liked the "2 piece" look with the bolts around the rim, and I don't really want Chrome. It's only opinion, but I find chrome a little too "Bling".

Yea, that would be a good wheel if they offered it without the bolts.
