I bought a set of Limited wheels off of eBay last spring and mounted Goodyear F1 All Seasons (from Tire Rack) on them and this weekend mounted them on my SRT-6 (for winter). Early thoughts and impressions:
1) Centercaps from SRT wheels don't fit limited wheels (see Pics).
2) I like the non-SRT wheels alot - maybe even better....
3) F1 All seasons are quieter, ride softer and transmit much less from the road.
4) Michelin PS2s handle much better and provide much more feedback.
(granted, 3&4 are not really a surprise).
5) THE LIMITED RIMS ARE SO MUCH EASIER TO CLEAN THAN SRT RIMS.
6) The F1 tread pattern looks good....
7) Need centercaps.....
8) Did I mention THE LIMITED RIMS ARE SO MUCH EASIER TO CLEAN THAN SRT RIMS.

Nice winter setup. They do look good on a black SRT and the thread pattern is awesome A+

 

Would you mind looking at your F1 All Seasons (both front and rear) and telling us where they were made? Thanks in advance.

 

Both say "Made in USA" on the sidewall (I assume there is some code that can probably tell you what plant too, but I don't know where that is nor how to decipher).

 

Thanks. I have the regular F1's (purchased within the past 4 months) and the rears were made in Germany and the fronts in China. I've been assured by my local Goodyear store that they are all the same quality as long as they say Goodyear on the side.

 

Those rims do look good on the SRT.

 

I've always thought that the limited rims look much better than the SRT ones.........But I just might be a little biased!

I know the limited wheels are made by Ronal.......is it the same for the SRT?

 

I just installed my winter tires with a set of limited rims on my SRT. To be honest with ya, they look pretty good! Do I like them better?..........Well......... I guess time will let me know. Either way, it still looks GOOD!

 

Yes, the SRT wheels are Ronal "Made in Poland" as well...funny related story...a guy that works for me is a true Porschephile and a real fan of German cars in general...he has owned several 911's (one of which an older 911s), a 914 and a couple of years ago bought a new 2005 Boxster. He was completely unaware of the Crossfire and its lineage to Mercedes and I don't think he believed me until he did some indiependent researh. He was impressed with my 04 Xfire and even more so with the SRT-6. He was looking at wheels for his Boxster and was quite suprised to learn that his Boxster wheels were Ronal manufactured....even more suprised when he learned the Xfires wheels were Ronals too....kind of funny.

 

I have F-1's They wear great...21K miles and 3/4 to 2/3 tread left. Conti AS dead at 17K
