I used to have a garage. I'd park in there for the week and drive my old truck til the weekend. Needless to say, the truck has a blown head gasket and I jsut drive my SVT all the time and don't worry to cover it up.

correct me if im wrong, but larger wheels make the gears longer right? If so, is the difference even noticable, like can you reach 60 in 2nd? im just curious.
thanks, and that looks sweet. ive got a t-red too and wish i had the moolah to get some rims. wow that changes the whole attitude of the car. especailly when ive got the 98 cosworth rims, which look good, but definatly lack that agressive edge of the einkei ones.
very nice

The car looks beautiful!
Just curious, are their any silver frost Contours with Enkei RS5's? I can't say that I have seen any.

Thx for all your responses. As far as reaching 60 in 2nd gear, I dont know. I haven't really gotten on the gas too hard since I put these on. However, I really doubt the 2in. difference in size is going to let me reach 60. I do have 1 problem that I could use some help with; I've noticed a squeaking sound coming from what sounds like the passenger side rear wheel. I can only hear it at very low speeds and none of the other wheels make the sound at all. It didn't make this sound with the factory wheels on. Any ideas? Thx
