Needs lowering, I know. When I move into town and out of PotHoleville, USA I might get some springs.

HAHA yeah i know....the car needs the next size bigger tire. when i got the 18's i thought they would rub so i got the smallest rubber i could....would deffinitly go with taller rubber in the future.

OMG me too! For starters, I have two different kinds of centercaps bacause I ordered my rims one at a time several years ago and they changed the centercap style when I was halfway ordering them! Plus mine are old and raggedy. I think I might mod the centercaps by painting them flat black with silver the letters SVT on them in silver. I dunno though.
 
Post '98 with pre '98 hubcaps, its a rare non-factory combination, wrapped in four mismatched Walmart tires.......only the best for the Ford :help:

Stock 12 spoke rims on my '98 Contour SE

Looking into getting simple looking 5 spoke chrome rims like the FSVT (get it chrome plated) or the Centerline Storm wheels. Just need to get the money now. Just wondering, seeing as I don't really know details of car parts and what-not, but what is the difference (if any) between E0's and E1's? Thanks.
 
difference as in what? they look different if thats what you mean, I believe the E0s are a tad heavier then E1's
 
Thanks. I've tried google and yahoo searching for images of both so I can compare them, but so far no luck.
Edit: so I realize now after some searching on the forums, that the E0's are '98 and the E1's are '98.5. Shows how little I know about wheels, lol. Don't I feel stupid, lol. Anyway, I seem to have found some images. Thanks again for the help.
 
hey no biggie, yah it seems most people like the looks of the E1s(98.5+) over the E0s. you can usually find them for sale on either the classifieds here, or on ebay. personnaly I think your better off getting some nice 17's or 18's for not much more money.
 
I know of some FSVT wheels with newer tires here in Michigan that you could pick up for $400. PM me and if I decide not to get them I'll send you the contact info. I checked with one place and it's about $100 to chrome one tire. I don't know if that's high or low though.
 
Cool, I'll keep it in mind but somehow I don't think I'll have $400 for at least a couple months. And there are other things I have to buy like film and $60 paper for my photography class. :( I looked on Centerline's website and looked at the storm model, but there is no price listed so I'm assuming for a set of 4 it'd be close to $1,000. Ugh. Although I did just get promoted at work and make a little more than I did, but I only work 19 hours a week because of classes and the union that prevents me from working more.
