Are the regular wheels from other Contours 15"? Did they have plain black steel wheels in 15" size for the Contour? What other cars can I steel wheels from? Mike 2000 SVT Contour

I would have gone 'aftermarket' for the steels, but apparently, the Canadian market for this fitment is not very big, and they were priced at $130 CDN. I paid about $80 CDN at the Ford dealer. If you're in the US, Luke at tirerack.com will give you a better deal than that; if you're in Canada, after exchange and shipping is taken into account, the dealer price is better. Anyway, the 15" wheels worked great....the key thing is tire size. Get something of the same circumference to maintain ride height and speedometer calibration. My snows are 195/65-15. They are "Nordic Icetrak" from Canadian Tire, and I'm quite happy with them. Tread pattern is sort of a cross between the Michelin Arctic Alpin and the Bridgestone Blizzak.

They fit fine, and the Blizzacks are great in the ice/snow. Feels a bit like driving on Gummy Bears when spring comes around though T-Red SVT E0 #2321 of 6535
