Those wheels on the website are 18" Shelby GT specific wheels. You mention the wheels you are considering are 17" Cobra wheels.........are they 1994-1997 Cobra wheels, 1998 Cobra wheels, 1999/2001 Cobra wheels, '03/'04 Cobra wheels or the infamous 1995 Cobra R wheels? These are all 17" wheels but they're offset make them stick out too much for my taste on an S197.
Are you thinking of 17" Bullitt wheels? If that's the case $500.00(with tires) and YOUR wheels/tires in exchange seems a bit high IMO. Some take-off vendors have take-off 17" Bullitts with tires for around $600.00 with brand new tires. Good luck with which ever way you go.........
