I ROCK at bumper cars!
Now that I have the Contour back on the road, its finally time to begin installing all the parts I have accumulated and doing the mods I've wanted. So to start, I made time and installed the wheels I bought from Ohsigmachi several months back. They're 17" Sean Hyland Motorsports. I really like the way they look on the car, though most likely they won't be the final wheel choice once the car is repainted.
**NOTE** Before anyone starts making "helpful suggestions," I'm going to list a few things I already know and don't need you to tell me:
1) Yes, I know the car is dirty.
2) Yes, I know my headlights need to be sanded. I'll get to them when I get to them.
3) Yes, I know there is an ungodly amount of wheel gap. Brand new B&G Autobahn springs (also courtesy of Ohsigmachi) are in a box in the garage, and Spax struts will be ordered within the next couple of days.
4) Yes, I know the tires are rubber bands. They are 35 series and were on the wheels when I bought them. The next tires will have more sidewall.
5) Yes, I know the vinyl on the rear windows is trashed. Like the lights, I'll get to it when I get to it.
6) Yes, I know the brakes look tiny. When I get more "go" I'll worry about more "whoa."
So on with the pics.
Off with the old:
What do we have here?
On with the new:
I really like the offset on these wheels. Just right. I really think this is going to look outstanding with a 2.25" drop and taller tires. Before and after pics will be posted with the Autobahns too.
