Exactly. My 2000 came stock with those rims. They're E1's
I'm not sure if they are stock but GoonzSVT's 98 (build no. 0009) Has the 'ugly' EO's
Yea, goonz has E0's
On a side note, the guy seems like a moron, look at the tread left on the tires... what idiot would drive their car(im assuming no burnout) to that kind of tread..

Well seeing that at least one of those tires has tread left, and the other doesn't, I'm guessing they did a burnout.

I replied that I had build #6 and that I thought all early 98's had E0 rims, not E1's.
You do know that the 98's were shipping in May and June of 1997 don't you????
I took delivery of my 98 E0 SVT on June 14th of 1997.
This guy is probably NOT full of [censored].
If he bought it in EARLY 1998, that means it was more than halfway through the 98 model year, hence probably why he got it with E1 rims. There could easily have been some customer who wanted to buy the E0 SVT rims for their regular contour and dealer saw a chance to upgrade the rims to E1s to better sell the car maybe.

These look more like E1 rims. Seller told me his early 98, #57 was bought new by him with these rims on. Am I missing something? I thought all early 98 SVT's came with E0 rims.
I just stumbled across a 1998 Contour SVT brochure I had filed. It's an E0 brochure, because it shows 195 hp and the blue interior in the t-red car, HOWEVER, ALL the pictures show E1 wheels! (i.e. Cobra style with exposed lug nuts) The picture and stats on the back shows them wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1-GS 205/55ZR-16.
I was surprised to see this as I ALWAYS thought of the Cobra style wheels as "E1" wheels. So, I'm guessing this guy is telling you the truth.

Having 195 hp and a blue interior doesn't make it an E0. E1's had the same specs.
