You say the interior quality is alot better. Do you find the seats to be more comfortabl/more supportive? My sn95 seats suck. They dont have much side support and the leather feels cheap as hell. They are kind of slippery when you go through turns.

I'm the opposite. I think those wheels look like they are off an explorer or F-150.


If i had them, i'd trade for the bullitt style 17's...or try to get the polished 18" bullitts

Well....I took a few more pictures, and then I put on my old FR500s. I took some pictures of those too, and I'm looking for your guy's opinions, but I took them off, because I thought they looked too mexican.





And then I put my hypercoated 18x9 and 18x10 FR500s. 265/35 in front, and 285/35 in rear. Waaaaay too much fender gap, and they stuck out too far...opinions?

I do find the seats better. In general, its a better cockpit feel. The center console is higher, so you can lay your arm on it, and very very easily reach the shifter. The leather in mine has hardly been sat in, so they seem to grip fine.

I don't think so. If so, i don't know how to change it. Mine is the deluxe, rather than the premium, so i don't know, but i don't think so.

not too wide. they do stick out a little, but the short tire is really killing the look. maybe with the proper height tires, they would look better. i would not run them as is.

Not digging the rims on the car man, they look too small. Get a nice set of 19 or 20" rims and really set that off. These cars really look sharp with bigger rims than the SN95 platform.

I like the style wheel, but don't think it's having the same effect on me it did on your Sn95


They stick out a tiny bit and the tires are a little undersized.



Why not just sell them and buy S197 specfic FR500's?? You can run 10" deep dish up front i beleive. I've seen it done before

The car def needs to be dropped an inch and a half. The wheels look alright but you could sell thoes and do way better. IMO S-197 need big wheels ie:19-20 b/c the car is sooo big.

I thought about just getting new FR500s, cuz i love em so much, but they don't make them hypercoated for the S197 yet. Also, I think i'd rather do something new. I really like the gt500 wheels, they have a similar look as the fr500s. I don't like the majority of s197 wheels out there, the only ones i really like are 20" bullits, gt500, and the roush wheels.

I like the 20" bullitts on the S197's from americanmuscle.com.



I always said if i ever sell my sn95 and get an s197's those are the wheels i'm going to run.

The wheels look really good on the car if you ignore the size difference. I dont know if anyone knows what i am talking about but I really liked the 5 spoke wheels on the molly pop saleen mustang. Im sure you wouldnt be able to find them out yet but they looked a hell of a lot better then the new ordinary saleen wheel.

The FR's look good on there, but they are a bit too wide....i would rock em until u get some new shoes though because the stock wheels are boring.... I would just get a nice set of 20's if I had an s197...
