Just post your answer:
Wheels before-

15" Rota slipstreams painted black
Wheels now-


17" BBS

Now my question is; should I powdercoated them gunmetal/black OR leave them alone?

Of all the different sets I've seen on your car, these look the absolute best.

Leave them just how they are.

OMG..If I had those rims, I'd powdercoat them light gunmetal on my black svt

It's a good bet they should stay how they are

Thumbs up, man. I like them.

Bring your other wheels to SZ, maybe someone will buy them

how come the 17s don't look any bigger than the 15s?

while the silver color does look cleaner I like the weight of the Rotas.

I say...powdercoat the Rotas silver.

You'd be nutz to mess around with your new rims, they are a good match for your car!
Posted By: Cris'pus Re: POLL!!!!! - 03/30/05 02:17 AM
I'd not do gunmetal since you're trying to have a black/red theme. Silver wheels don't stray from that cause your ring/muffler/rear chrome strip are similar. The gunmetal would be only grey colour which imho doens't mix with red and black.

WHy is it your BBS's look bigger than my BBS's?!

Oh well.. leave em JUST like that, looks REAL good Hector!

15" Rota slipstreams painted black

17" BBS

there doesn't happen to be a red don't painted on the inside of them rims as well as CPJ etched in 3 different spots? reason i ask is b/c i had those same rims until someone stole them. not saying that you did, jsut asking plus, i think that i a wierd move to make a profit BBS probably made more than one set. i miss those rims so much, leave them the way they are and put some locks on them, even though it's more for looks b/c locks are easy to pop of. mine were

Those used to be on my 95 SE that I sold to him last year. I am sure they are HOT looking, indeed they should dropped like they are hot, but they are not stolen.

They were 15's for a reason...

I really wish I could've had the money to take those Rota's off your hand, but as for the BBS's... Leave them. Those rims were made for your car!!
Posted By: GS474 Re: POLL!!!!! - 03/30/05 03:22 PM
i kinda liked the knite rider effect you had going with the other rims but the new ones look hot as they are

damn i couldn't decide
Posted By: deedum Re: POLL!!!!! - 03/30/05 05:05 PM
change em
Posted By: frenchblueC2_dup1 Re: POLL!!!!! - 03/30/05 05:24 PM
leave 'em alone
Posted By: hetfield_dup1 Re: POLL!!!!! - 03/30/05 06:07 PM
Keep 'em or sell 'em to me this summer.
Posted By: bnoon_dup1 Re: POLL!!!!! - 03/30/05 07:53 PM
15's, maybe 16's, but anything bigger is just a waste of rotaional mass on a Contour. I like the Rotas for anything but posing.

Hey I don't compliment you a lot because you suck...but I will say those BBS's look absolutely awesome!!!!

If you change them what-so-ever, the day before Mikey poops on you I will invite him to another Steak and Shake meet just so you get everything you deserve!!!!

Posted By: I-Dom-In-VIII Re: POLL!!!!! - 03/31/05 03:04 AM
I think it looks a lot better now, just get some bigger tires and i think it will finish the look...

Ohh and get those windows tineted.
