You can always sign up over on the Cougar and Focus boards for more wheel options, as we share the same lug pattern and I believe the same offset.

I honestly don't think they're that bad... they're not my#1 choice but for $550 rims+tires+shipping, I have to give them some consideration. ChicagoSVT.com '03 DSG Cobra 'vert / '99 T.

What about any of these? http://www.contour.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=wheels&Number=1265679&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1 I prefer this. Similar to the ASA EM9's I have. -'96 SE MTX 3L -'98 SVT 1,173 of 6,535 -'05 Mazda 6s, loaded, g/f's ride -Need a 96-00 manual on CD? PM or email me

Here's my car with 17" Konig Imagines (silver) on it, with 215/45/17 tires... (edit: I think Sounddomain is having site problems... hopefully the pics will show up soon) Yes, shameless whoring of the ride is necessary... Here's a close up of the Konig Imagine (opal, they don't offer silver anymore) Last edited by SoundQ SVT; 08/16/06 01:14 AM.
