I'm trying to get some ideas on what rims to get. What do you guys think of the focal f5 on an svt. Does anyone have a picture of these on their car contour? http://www.focalwheels.com/noflashf5wheels.htm

Also wheelmax is selling a nice set of rims and tires 17" for $699 I wonder how these would look?

like Konig Verdicts :p j/k

I like them. But the problem with wheelmax.com is 1) i don't think they're for our cars and 2) the tire size is 205/40/17's.

too small for the Contour imho. ideal size for the Focus for instance.....

if you want to see what they have that fits our cars, there is a link on the right on their home page. It says 'FOCUS' - click that, and that shows you what they carry for a 4x108 wheel. smile

I had 18" Focal F5's on my black SVT all of last spring/summer. Loved the look and I think they really go well with the SVT. Got em brand new off ebay for something ridiculous like $550. Vtechthis has F5 17's on her SVT and they look really good with the silver...

Hella, did you get them drilled? I always wanted them but they do not come in 4X108! Do they? Where are those rims now?

actually they do come in our bolt pattern, if you can't find them online anywhere just contact Focal directly and I'm sure they could hook you up.

1 rim got phucked by a friendly guy who ran a redlight at 65+ mph and smacked the hell out of my rear quarter panel. after my car got done doing a 360, one of the front rims ran smack into a bumper and got curbed. pretty tight huh? laugh

i just checked. I guess the 4x4.25 is our bp. I'll check around to find some on ebay.

Hella, what size tire did you run? Any probs?
