New wheels are on !!!

A few upgrades are in the works for this year including a full blown system driven off the new Harman Kardon Drive+Play II.

Stay tuned for updates ...

 

Just bought my wife a Crossfire, and started looking at wheels today.

I found this wheel, and did a search on here - low and behold you posted this up right around the time I searched for "estoril'...go figure!

Great looking wheel, I'd like a full side shot.

What size(s) and offset did you go with?

Thanks,
Shawn

 

18 x8 et 32 front
19 x9.5 et 35 rear

Stock sized tires.

Ride is a bit harsh but I will have to suffer since this is a marketing tool, maybe changing out the tires to a slightly wider set might bring the ride back in line with stock but I already had tires.

 

Why is the ride harsh compared to stock, if you used the stock sized tires/wheels?

Let me know when you get a full side shot - I'm anxious.

Thanks,

They are wider by .5" and the tire is stretched a bit more so you lose some of the cushion from the sidewall not being as vertically aligned, its not terrible but is noticeable. The car also tends to grip sooner with less give at the limits.

 

Ah, ok, that makes sense.

You'll have to bear with me as I am new to crossfires. I didn't realize the wheels were wider than stock.

I'm a Mustang/Cummins convert - just bought my Wife's crossfire yesterday.

Looking forward to the side pics.

I felt the difference on my TSWs when I got them with stock tire sizes too... (They are the same size as your TSWs).

I'll probably go wider when I change out the tires next time.

Nice lookin TSWs! Cheers!

 

side shot as requested.

 

Does your TPMS still work?
I think I've seen you car 2x in the last few days, are you in the Mt. Laurel area?

 

Yes to both your questions.

 

New pictures are loaded in my Gallery.

 

Wow, those look great.

Argh. . . must fight urge to purchase black ones for mine.

 

Just to let you know, there is something else you can do to improve your car's handling and ride at the same time. Here's what to do...Find a facility that puts nitrogen in your tires, it cost me $25 and worth every penny. You will get better gas mileage as well. For a $25 investment, you get a better ride, better mileage, longer tire life ( the molecules of the nitrogen are closer and tighter so they don't dissipate through your tires as does the regular air), WOW!!! Give it a shot and let me know what you think. I'm impressed!

 

Already done as standard process at my local costco which is where I get my best pricing for PS2 tires. With their pricing also includes road hazard which has saved me twice (I wish some dealers would clean around their stores or at least pick up the screws so my tires don't have to). If the puncture is in the outer or inner 1/3rd of the tire they are required to replace it.
