Those wheels will show of the calipers for sure.

If it was me, I would put a Chrysler crest on the wheel, and a Mopar logo on the caliper. The fact the Crossfire is officially a Chrysler is what I like, not that it is effectively a Mercedes.
But I do like the 2 tone on the wheels, and you did a nice job of everything.
I have a white (Alabaster) Crossfire, and was thinking of white or light blue calipers.

Thanks guys,

The stock front rotors on the NA are only 300mm so it is a big hike in size up to 345mm I think it's the SRT6 that has 330mm rotors.

That's why the comparison pics show such a big difference as it's 1 3/4" bigger
