You stole my screen name!!! j/k I am sorta going through the same thing with mine. I just cannot chose a rim. Well, within my budget anyway. I would just get some OZ's and be done with it. I have been shopping around and finding all the ones I like, then letting my wife choose which one she likes best. We will narrow it down to about three then I will let her choose again on the final one. She really has good taste because she was looking at some pic of Mondeo's a few weeks ago and saw the ST200 rims (you know the rims with all the spokes on the them) and said that she thought they would really look good on my car. I knew there was a damn good reason I married this woman!! I think I am gonna stay with 15's though, I just can't see 17's on my car for some reason. Oh what the hell does it matter... I will only see them when I am washing the car anyway and everyone else will only see them when I am at a stop light or something. Maybe the next time Neal is over with his SVT I will take his Sport Edition Fox2's off and put them on mine and see how I like it. Nah! Maybe not! Good luck on your rim choice though. Be sure to get us some pics. Sorry for highjacking, us SE folks have a way of doing that in most any thread thats from one of our own. Just wanted to throw out a big How Do!!
