I've never liked the E0 wheels.
I agree, too plastic looking.

I bought a 00 just because they have E1 wheels and a spoiler It's all a matter of opinion.

I like the 98 wheels, but then again, I have them.

The E0 rims a very easy to clean. Especially a day or two after a good washing, just run a towel in each slot in a circular motion and your clean again.
I guess I got lucky when I got my used SVT since it came with a spoiler.

Todras: Compared to the E1 I'd say yes, plastic looking. Plus the E1's have the SVT center :p

i just don't like that fact that the E0 wheels are so heavy. Otherwise they look great on my white contour. I really need those sideskirts to bring out the best in them though

Todras - your car looks HARD CORE!
Love the EO rims on yours, on mine, uhh, they'll do.
Totally personal preference...Once my 2nd set of summer tires wears out on my 98 SVT, I'll probably try and find a set of E1 rims for it.
Just think they look more aggressive with the 98+ models' lines.
