Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Wheels & Tires Any of you guys with Tropic Green CSVTs running...

I took some pictures with my dad's spare STi wheel next to my car. If the SVT wheel is close (and I mean close) to the color of the STi wheel, then it is a sealed deal. It looks soooooo nice. I will post up some pictures later of how gold 17"s look next to a green CSVT.

I'm really weary about spending ~$650 on a set of wheels that I really have no clue about. Ideally, I would like to go to a Ford dealership and mount them up on my car, but I highly doubt that that would happen.

Has anyone seen the wheels in gold before? Do they come close to matching the STi wheel color?

could be the lighting but:




I think the STi wheel is a bit less bright. Also, those euro focus wheels are pretty heavy too.

I wish they were that color...

I really, really do.

Okay, guys. I'm thinking that I probably won't be getting those wheels, due to the color. And, as much as I would like nice gold wheels, I don't think I can dish out ~$200/wheel for gold OZ wheels; which seem to be the only other gold wheel I can find in the United States that I like.

I started looking around and found a gorgeous wheel made by Fox Racing. It is the EVO 3 wheel, and I was really considering getting it. That is, until I realized I couldn't find a dealer in the US. Foiled again...

Or not...

I went to TireRack for the 5 millionth time, and happened across a wheel I had never noticed. It is called the "Sport Edition Fox 3". And, as the name implies, it is a knock-off of the EVO 3. Although it doesn't come in the titanium finish as the EVO 3 does, they still look great. What's even better is that they are on sale for $89/wheel.

If I get these, and after a while I get tired of them, I will most likely get them powder coated gold.

So, whatchu guys think?

I would save up my money and get the wheels you want. Trust me you want cool wheels that will look nice. Wheels can either make or break your cars look. So I would wait and get the ones your really want.

Anyone know of a place that sells the OZ Superturismo GT in the USoA? All the places that I find are overseas somewhere, and I'm not paying international shipping on top of ~$900 wheels.

EDIT. Nevermind, I just realized that TireRack sells thems.

I'm such a dumbass.

I know I'm bringing this back from the dead, but I figured this would be better than starting a new thread.

Okay, what do y'all prefer. Do not look at brand and don't worry about price; just which one is more appealing to you.



-or-

Those Excels would look better IMO but the OZ is a much better made wheel
