The first guy to bang a chicken probably had that "original" thought, but that wasn't a good idea either, was it?
it wouldn't be original if i was retarded and put "14's" on it and HYDRAULICS...

14's, 16's or 18's. Either way they look craptastic.

Why does everybody seem to be hating' on me just cause I wanna do something "Original"... Instead of blending in with EVERYBODY else...
Yeah cause there are so many customized contours out there. I think you are confused with Hondas.  Being "original" isnt always the best idea.

Be original all you want, I wont tell you not to. But you have to realise that not everyone is going to like your ideas, or how the finished car is going to look. If you like that look, go right ahead. Several people dont like my painted reflector, but you dont see me putting the stock piece back on  Also realise that this site may have about 10 people that like spokes, especially on a Contour, so you wont get the greatest responses. Do watcha like.

agreed. No way 18" daytons are gonna look any better than those 14" ones. Why would you want people pointing and laughing at your car if you got those. People on the street will think your car is ghetto. 
How could you actually think this wheel would look good on a contour? Someone want to photoshop this?

i plan on it, but the critizism could chill out a little... If i want 18's, don't joke around with pics of 14's... it's pointless

trust me, there's more out there than who's on this site, cause that's how everybody is acting like... I have seen a mystique with 17's lowered that looks nice as ever... but maybe that's why i'm the only one that seems to like it, everybody else seen cheap stuff.
