Holy slow, Batman! 18" heavy chrome rims mated to a Zetec? I guess style is everything.

Anyway, there are a lot of sites with wheels availible for our cars. www.tirerack.com & www.tires.com to start.

Chrome gets no love in this forum.

At least that's my honest opinion.

They (chrome wheels) are generally tacky in design and weigh a ****load, hence not really performance orientated, therefore most people around here don't want to know about them.

To tell you the truth I think Contours look kinda ridicuous with chrome wheels as the car is more of a tuner, sports tourer rather than a "bling-bling" rock-slinging Cadillac or Merc, which do lok nice with the right chrome wheels.

All the same, each to his own.........KMC makes chrome wheels in our bolt pattern.

Man, those wheels are a matter of taste...someone
else's.....I have 18 " OZ Racing Superleggera's...in a grey finish. They look
great on my SVT and more importantly fit specifically for the Ford so no offset problems.

I don't have a pic yet.

I've seen some SVT's with chrome that looked really good. and it's a misconception that chrome weighs more. Chrome is just a finish! It depends on the rim as far as weight goes.

i think one of the reasons why chrome is hated on here is because nobody has seen an SVT with chrome that matches the car like it should. i saw a silver SVT last year in florida with 19" Giovanna Racing Kobe's in chrome and it looked amazing. Doubt they weighed too much either.

my background right now is a black svt w/ chrome tsw revos. i wish i remember who's ride it was to give them credit. i think the chrome revos look great on the svt. alot of people are starting to run black and white and colored rims. i'm not a big fan of that but to each his own. gunmetal/anthracite are starting to grow on me.


...and yes, I did SEARCH first before asking.
