I actually think the cars looks great. I have thought about some graphix like those. Still debating.


mustangs are 5 lug


You're wrong there....
Not all of them are. The early Fox-Bodies share the same 4-bolt pattern as our cars (4x108mm), but run a different offset cos they're RWD, of course.

I was going to say the exact same thing.

I don't think any of those are rice at all.
we've all seen far far worse than that.
those are so very mild. to me, they just look like show cars.

I don't like the looks of some of the rims. they just don't seem like they were made to be on 'tours.

They all look good, but chrome wheels on Contours look ghey!

For some reason people are still stuck in the 90's and think that chrome wheels=class. Whereas if you axe me chrome wheels=ghetto in my books!

Keep tuners wheels on a tuner car and ther chrome for the bling-bling gangsta-rydes i.e. 'Lac Exkalades yo! (poor attempt at ebonics)

PS the Black SVT owner has some balls showing that stock, unmaintained car!

Those look OK, and if anything, Black cars are the only Contours that can pull it off. But those "busy" chrome wheels on the NOPI pics posted earlier look crap.

Your wheels are more tuner-styled which is a redeeming feature. I just don't like the chrome look on a sport's sedan. They give the impression of them being to heavy and not performance orientated. But hey, don't let me tell you what to do to your car. I'm just voicing my opinion....

The reason I asked is because I also tend to agree with you, that the big ass clunky rims aren't cool. But to say that all chrome rims on contours are gay, is kind of a tasteless remark. I think I've done my car justice by putting those wheels on her.

A lot of the contours that are posted on this forum can blow all those cars
out of the water based on appearance, style and performance. Pascal, Gr8ride,
Stazi, Trapps, are a few cars to mention that I have seen.
(Gr8ride when he had his Contour).
