Default Good staggered wheels for s197s?

Summers here and my stock crap pirelli crap spins like crazy and goes sideways YES STEEDA BRANDON IM GOING TO GET LCA'S lol and i figured i would get some better tires and wider wheels for the summer and i HATE americanmuscle.com 's wheels I had a terrible experience on my previous mustang and i refuse to buy any wheel thats not made in USA, Europe, or Japan. TONS and TONS of wheels are made in china and I don't want that crap. Anyone know any good brands? I would like 18x10s or 17x10s Im not sure about 19s cuz they're kinda big. I was looking at some O.Z. wheels (Italy) but they're not as wide as I would like. ANy suggestions

I'm a fan of 15x3.5s and 15x10s. You know, if you're into that sort of thing.

To answer the question in the title of the thread, there isn't a GOOD staggered set up for the s197. The chassis understeers plenty as is without adding wider than the front wheels and tires to make it worse. I also like rotating tires as it keeps cost down!

Vorshlag and D-Force make a lightweight 18x10 for S197 fitments that look good but would perform great at all four corners. Pricey but tested and proved reliable and quality. Most importantly it fits over brembos!

20's are a little big for me haha I like those 15x10s in the back but the front is a little skinny, and those other wheels look cool, the vorshlags

A lot of Ford parts (esp in new Mustangs) are made in China. Unfortunate but too be honest, I'd rather have lightweight forged wheels than these Chrome/steel ones any day. Also, TSW isn't an American company.

Man there's a bad apple in every bunch and you shouldn't let it bother you. To prove that point I will tell you my wheels purchased at AM have been problem free for over a year.
Quality american wheels would lead me to Roush forged, but they are not staggered
Might also want to check out these shelby's, they are 20's but oh so hot!
