So, I PS'd them on.... in about 20 minutes, so apologies for the quality. The Current: -Custom drilled and painted 17" Mille Miglia Spiders, weighing somewhere between 27 and prolly 24 lbs (the only weight I could find was 27# for the 18") The Potential: -Ford Racing 17" rims, weighing ~20 lbs, 'shopped and badly color-corrected by myself. Please note: Spoiler comments will be filed and ignored. Yes, it's large. Yes, a lot of people don't like it. No, it's not coming off. Yes, that last picture is the worst one ever of it.... it makes it look huge. So..... rims? '98 Contour SVT - Please pardon our dust, under heavy construction.

That spoiler barely hangs off the edge of the trunk. No reason why it would interfere with the antenna.

I like your current wheels, but I don't blame you for looking at lighter wheels. Derek Scion xB 5-spd Previous: 2000 Silver Frost SVT Please share the road with cyclists.

If anyone's interested, I can do the other ones that are being offered. I think I'm looking elsewhere, though. '98 Contour SVT - Please pardon our dust, under heavy construction.
