I have them.Their nice wheels.Not too heavy.Approx 20 pounds each.Tyres size I'am using is the stock ST-200 size 215/45-17
If you buy them,don't forget to buy the centre cap.
Sorry,I don't have a picture.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy non factory wheels (unless you can get them used) I'd rather get Konig Tantrums

If performance is an issue, you would be hard pressed to find a better replacement than the ST200 wheel to the stock SVT wheel. Stock at 16" weighs in at approx 19lbs., the ST200 wheel, at 17", is 19lbs.6oz.

I just had someone on Club Si photoshop the wheels onto my car....they look awesome, but I think I've decided to stop spending money on the Contour. Time to save up for my next toy, which will likely be a next-gen Integra Type-R...no more Ford for me. ------------------ aka dinanM3, black '99 SVT Contour with new goodies arriving all the time My Photopoint Gallery

so who OEM's the ST200 wheels??? Ford doesn't really make wheels they just buy from OEM's and put a Ford logo on them (or SVT in my case)... buying from the vendor would be cheaper than going the Ford connection... ------------------ '98 SilverFrost SVT#1037 of 6535 built Toadster's SVT Roundup MODS: KKM Intake, TH-Fix, Synthetic Oil, 18% tint all-around, TBD....

Ford uses different suppliers to make it's wheels.Companies like KONIG,and BBS also use suppliers to make their wheels.Making wheels is too big a process for these guys to make them on the own.Ford uses Weasley Wheel in the U.K. to manufacture some of their wheels.On the ST-200 wheels I have,there isn't a make on the wheel that I can see.
In the U.S.A. JII,Western Wheel and a few othres are wheel suppliers.
