They are finally available for the Contour! See Luke@Tirerack for details.

On first appearance they are not that much different than the E1's; 5 spokes, grey finish, etc. However, there are many differneces. The center section is recessed as are the spokes where they connect with the outer rim, both present a unique profile. FWIW these are also the same wheels on the Ford WRC Focus, and is very similar in design to the OZ used by many sports racing prototypes.







What do you all think?

What size are those? One size bigger would do them more justice, I think.

The spokes are too thick, it doesn't look aggressive enough. I agree if it was a larger rim it might look better IMO.

Big Kuhmos on 17" wheels. 7 1/2" wide?

Rumor has it that someone will have 215/40-16s on his car at the next autocross. wink Congrats. Looks great...as does your always clean car. Must be a daily ritual with all the pollen in the air down here. Was that picture taken at your parent's house? Nice setting in the background.
