Default Sidez Mod : Wheels ++

Well another update on my Mods to the Crossfire this time around its wheels++

Total Cost : Around $6100

Wheels : IForged Vip Limited stock sizes... $4000.. D2Autosport.. Inspiration from Copernicus..

The lead time on these wheels was roughly four months I ordered them early september and received them in time for the Holidays, but just put them on yesterday, due to salt issues and that I wanted to handle all other wheel mods at the same time...

Well I am very happy with the rims so far and pictures don't do them justice.. (at such a price I better be) they really fit well in with my other chrome modifications like the grill,side vents, and windscreen, it is not that I didn't like the stock crossfire wheels as I think they are the best stock wheels I have ever seen on a car it is just I needed something to match with all my chrome modifcations and they didn't

Tires : Goodyear Eagle GS-D3... $1000.. Tire Rack..

Well nothing much to say here other than that they are a huge improvement of the stock contis and they are cheaper and no less performing than the Michelin PS2s, and I also like the tread pattern. my only complaint with them is that bellow 40 they seam to get very hard and driving over bumps becomes that much more unpleasant, but then again these are summer tires..

Brake Pads : Rotex Gold.. $225.. Brakeworld.. Inspiration from numerous Crossfire Members

Only had them on for two days so I can't yet tell you if they have remedied the dust issue, but they are still squeeling and I noticed no worse breaking performance from the stock pads so that is a good thing!!

Brake Lines : GoodRidge SS Lines... $110.. Ebay.. Inspiration from BrianBrave

I like these noticed a more progressive pedal feel instantly.. and no more degradation of brake fluid either

Brake Fluid : ATE SuperBlue.. . $20.. Ebay.. Inspiration from BrianBrave

Spacers : H&R 20mm... $125.. Optionimports..

Svarowski Valve Caps : $35.. Ebay

Getting all this **** installed cost around $600 because the rims didn't come with a stock placement for the TPMS so one had to be custom made at the rim store.. if you any questions about the mods feel free to ask.. I took the time and researched all of these products and feel that I made a good decision with all of the mods above.. again excuse my poor picture taking skills and if you need picture of anything don't hesitate to ask.. The last picture is a comparion photo to my car before some of the modifications were installed
