New Wheels

I wanted to go up to 17's, but stay stock looking, so I stayed in the Ford SVT family and got some SVT Focus wheels. Wheels were black with brake dust, so I cleaned with Megs wheel cleaner and bug and tar remover, and sealed with AIO. Will follow up with some SG soon.

Tires are BFG G-Force Sports in 225/45-17.

What do you think?

Looks great, they have the Mustang Cobra R look...

I love the Contour especially in the Red, that is the fastest color

I did something similar with my '98 Contour SE Sport, went from the 14" stock Alloys to 16" SVT Contour E0 wheels with BFGoodrich KDW tires. It is amazing how much of a difference a simple wheel and tire swap can make. I also put in a Contour SVT catback exhaust. Sorry for the picture quality, this was taken before I got my first digital camera and my scanner wasn't so great either. I do miss the Contour, traded her in for the Mustang I have now.

I love the E0's. The smooth look matches the Contour IMO.

I like the pics of your dk red Mustang after Klasse treatment. I'm doing that to the Contour very soon and hope mine turns out as good.

Yeah, those *do* look good, and I agree that the Contour SVT looks great in that color
