I'm having trouble finding some ugly touring car wheels for my Ford contour. I need either 1.9 or 1.5 wheels. Does anyone have any suggestions?


Something similar to these:

just go to ebay and type in something simple like 'rc drift wheels' there are bound to be a company making some wheels that they think look good but actually look pretty pants...<div>something like this maybe, some BBS alloy wheels but with a quick coat of matt grey could look like some cheap alloys form a 90's sedan </div><div>http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RC-Car-1-10-Ro...#ht_1215wt_909</div><div>it might work out quite well but you would have to find some on american Ebay   :P</div>

Think your gonna struggle to find a pair similar to those tbh
check out annsman range of 12mm tourer wheels they got some pretty bad designs going on lol
like these..

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I think I'm going to go with these. They're Tamiya Touareg wheels.

You could try your hand at modifying some of the bland dish wheels. Get a pair in white, spray them dull silver, then try cutting the necessary spokes.


Though I must say the Toureg wheels don't befit a Contour. Haha


On a somewhat related note where the hell did you find a Ford Contour shell?

Thanks! I tried modifying some wheels, but it didn't work out. The body is part of a kit sold in the early 90's by Tamiya. They call it the Mondeo, which is the British version of the Contour.

Those toureg wheels dont look half bad tbh m8 just fill in the centres (would be a pain getting to the wheel nuts tho [] )
Gotta love the mondeos we get the st220 and st200 versions over here which the police use on the motorways
Think you guys have it as the se contour i believe.

The Contour was D/C'd years ago. People wouldn't buy them over here. They'd instead go for a Crown Vic, or a Mustang, or an F150. Or an Escort. Or a Taurus.

I can't fathom why the Mondeo failed here for any other reason except a market where it had no reasonable place in. They're good little cars but there just wasn't room in the Ford lineup for them here.


I believe the Mondeo unibody returned in the Fusion though. I'm fairly certain the Fusion has some Mondeo parts in it, and they have an eerily similar silhouette.
