Very nice! The silver is an exact match to the silver trim on the car. They look like they were made for the car.

Wow! I'm not usually one for aftermarket wheels, but those look fantastic. Nice choice.

me too I normally don't like after market stuff since they don't always match very well. But this one looks great. Is that a chrome vent on the side?

I'm not diggin' the 18 up front. I think 19 and 20 would have matched a bit better. Looks good though. Now, you need to lower.

I got the same color Crossfire and these by far are the best looking aftermarket rims I have seen for this color car. Are they available in 19's for the rear ? Did they require offsets or spacers ?Also a link or vendor name for these would be appreciated.

While it is difficult to see in the pictures, I'll bet the lip of the wheels is highly polished and looks like chrome. The rest of the wheel is likely the hyper-silver paint color.

At least that is the way my Mandrus wheels are.

No offsets or spacers needed and I got the rims and tires from discount tire company and out the door they were $2167.00

I have found it so hard to find a tasteful 5 spoke chrome rim for the Xfire. Not looking for the fake beadlock, and all that other pimp my ride jazz. These look really great!!

Fritz, not knockin' your choice, it's just after owning real beadlocks on the Jeep, seeing the fake ones don't do it for me.

As for these rims, I like how clean they look, can you PM me the info on them. I'm in Berks Co, PA so I don't think we'll "clash"

PM me too!! Those are awesome!! Also, looks like you've lowered the car. What did you use for springs? Spacers? Camber adjusters needed? etc. Awesome!!

IMO the Factory Chrome rims that come on some of the new LIMITED coupes look clean and simple. I try and match the factory rims with aftermarket rims to IMO it usally turns out the best show quality....

That's not my car, that's one I found in the Gallery and I thought it looked awesome. The member that has them is Shade and they're Petrol Octane. Heres his thread:

I agree, those wheels do look great on the Saphire Silver. Lowering springs are a MUST have on these cars.The tires look good too. BEAUTIFUL!
