Default S 197 V6 wheels?

thinking about wheels, i like the 17 inch black bullitts, but i also like the kelly hays split spoke wheels. they run 200 a pop.

but the v6 wheels that are 16s run cheap.

of course they are only 16s but if i run a smaller sidewall and some more aggresive tires i think it will look okay, and i think id avoid any fender rub.

tell me what you think

You should also consider the GT wheels. I thought about going 5 lug and buying them.

That is why I bought my pony rims. They were a cheap conversion for me.

4 lug conversion per pair- 72
5 lug conversion per pair-169

I actually bought both. The sets of GT 17's and the stock V6 wheels. I actually prefer the V6 wheels with the knockoff spinners the most. I didn't want to go the Bullitt route because that's fairly common, and I wanted a little difference on my 65. So if anyone needs a set of the 17inch 05-06 GT wheels above, I got a set ready to go.

check Craigslist. I bought the wheels for two hundred each set of four. It was the tires that set me back!

My 16's came with good tires, but they were too tall! I'm really happy with the look of these wheels because it looks like it came with the car.
