Nice! Are you lowered on anything by the way?

 

[creina1221]

Thanks, everything is stock except for the wheels.

i dig your calipers, what did you use to paint those puppies?

 

[StealthWyvern]

Sence I have to be the odd person here. I want to see pics of the CSVT as well. BTW the speed3 looks hot!

Are those 17" or 18" rims? What tire size do you have on there?

 

[CWPspeed3]

Looks good, are those the forged wheels?

You're not alone...I loved the Contour SVTs.

Thanks guys,
The Wheels are the Rays Engineering Forged Wheels...I initally wasn't sure if I really wanted them due to the price but after seeing them in person, I had to. I talked the dealer down on the price as well to the cheapest price I was able to find on the internet (shows how much they mark this stuff up). They're 18 X 7.5 and I just put on the recommended 215-45-18 tires. I went with the Toyo Proxes for the tires and I have to say, I'm very pleased.
-I used duplicolor caliper paint for the calipers

and here's a pic of my CSVT, I traded her in for the speed with just under
206k on her.

Thats sweet! I've always wanted a silver frost one with a Mirko front lip w/ eye lids!

Thats good to hear... I personally will never purchase another set of proxies for my cars due to the lack of traction in the rain. Hydoplanes way to easy for me.

Are you a member of CEG by any chance? Any mods to the CSVT?

 

[CWPspeed3]

If you dont mind my asking what did the wheels run you, around $1800?

I'm a member of svtperformance.com, not CEG although I've been there for troublshooting. I have to give it to the csvt, It really didn't start giving me problems until after 160k. It was a good car but I'm very happy with what I have now.

Yeap, pretty close to that. I think MSRP is over 500, I was able to find them for 432.00 ea on Mazdagmcpontiacparts.net or something and the dealer matched the price. They were ebay as well, but the site is no longer active.

You can get them here for slightly cheaper than MSRP, I dont no why the other site isnt' working
