I've seen them in 20's on a couple of S197, but never a set in 18s.
It does have a step lip, so will make them look very small. For the price though u can't go wrong

so have I. I am almost certain I will be rolling the 20x10.5 square as the final wheel set for my car, but while the 18x10 set is sitting in my garage I might as well use it.

awesome dude! I have the same wheels but in Matte Black, been trying to sell them so I can get a higher offset as well. Thanks for posting the pics, made me realize I can't run +22 all around and I guess I will be switching it up to a different style since I don't want to jock your style even though I'm all the way on the east coast haha

xxr521. its a very nice looking wheel but im afraid the 3.5 inch lip will make them look extra tiny on the mustang
thats gunna be sick

the original wheel i wanted were the work Meister S1 thats got some serious lip too. i love that look tho .. i just dont wanna poke much.

your wheels almost look like th LM's i have seen other stangs with them and they dont look bad at all .. u just got to eliminate wheel gap .. lol

nice yea +22 is a no go .. maybe if its a smaller width u can probably get away with it. and like i said run em man .. who cares! this isnt my actual setup. its just till i get what i really want ;)

it def is for the s197s but look at JV doose specs 18x10.5 on 22 offset.
and i keep saying these will be trial fitment due to the fact that i fear 18s with a lip will look tiny on the car.

I've been looking at the xxr521's also, but am concerned that +25 on an 18x10 will stick out too much. Post some pics.

here's the only pics I could find on the net with those wheels and an s197:

those are 20s. 20x8.5f 20x10.5r the rears have a 30 offset and that guy shaved 5mm off the hub so its running a lil bit less poke. i have plenty of pics of mustang with 521s in 20 in form like that but never seen it on 18s. I will def take some pics, im going to a car show this weekend so there should be good photogs out.

I almost think that I liked it better with the brembos.

Not going to lie though, I would definitely like to make sweet love to your car...jk....maybe..

very very nice. you're a brave (crazy?) soul running your rear end that low with that poke. mount a gopro up on a suction mount to see what it's like when you're driving--it's an eye opener sometimes (also works really well to see how much you need to pull a fender)

i wish varrstoen, xxr, rota, and major "original" manufacturers opened up a segment for the s197 chassis. i'm sure te37s with aggressive but realistic offsets would look great on the car, not to mention a bunch of other stuff out there.
