Lightbulb Need Help with opinions on New Rims for my Base Cross Coupe!!!

Hey guys, I can't express enough how I'm new to the site and I will not post pictures until the project of my vision of the perfect Cross. is done, hopefully by the end of summer I will have some pics up...although I need some help right now, My Crossfire is a Black Coupe. I am undecided right now on rims, I know I could get these, which I saw from a member for $1600 new(with tires), already contacted "the guy" a.k.a Peter:
https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...rus+Millennium

-Although I am also considering these, I never seen it on a Crossfire, so I am in doubt...but it does look bada$$:
http://www.streetdreams.org/wheels/r...hrome%2520Darc

-But most of all, my car is black so perhaps get the rims Peter helped one of the members but in black, like this member, but I would consider painting the lip(the deep dish part) blue: https://www.crossfireforum.org/galle...hp/photo/28190

-But most of all I LOVE THE SRT6 RIMS!!! But they are very hard to come around...and expensive!!! I also would have in mind o more low profile tires than the stock on those rims...

Also bear in mind that I don't want to deal with spacers, only direct bolt ons...

I know this is a lot of information, but any suggestion guys...or girls(even better)?!?!?

As a fellow black coupe owner I agree, that we have an excellent color for upgraded rims.
Just my two cents, I am personally not a fan of the black rims, on a black car. I know it's cliche, but I prefer the polished aluminum/chrome look.

There was a guy on the forum who had these (or something very similar):
http://www.wheelsnext.com/wheels-rim...08-Chrome.html
on his black coupe and it looked phenomenal.

Don't mean to offend anyone, just my 2 cents.

No, I welcome all opinions actually, I am actually considering chrome, but it just never been my style...

The thing about chrome is that it is like black. When it's clean you can't beat it, but keeping it clean is a real chore.

I agree shpshady, but just like the black finish if you do the work they really pop.

I did like the look of the stock SRT6 rims, but hated cleaning them and at the track or even daily, I like to see what's going on with my rotors and pads. I can do that with the rims I have.

I don't know that you will be able to get aftermarket rims without using spacers. It probably depends upon what wheels you decide upon and if they have the proper offset.

Here's the information for the OEM wheels...

front:
Dimension: 18" x 7.5"
Bolt Pattern: 5 x 112
Offset: ET 35
Tire Size: 225/40/18
Center Bore: 66.5

rear:
Dimension: 19" x 9"
Bolt Pattern: 5 x 112
Offset: ET 22
Tire Size: 255/35/19
Center Bore: 66.5

Good luck!

the all black forte's would look awesome on a black crossfire, i have yet to see one with all black wheels. i personally dont like to mix black and chrome/silver on wheels.

I have the Mandrus Milleniums in Hyper Silver like CarmanSubaru, but I'm lowered on Eibachs and Koni adjustables. I did not need spacers at all. Check my other thread SSBeautiful in the SRT6 section or my profile for pictures. These wheels look ridiculously awesome! For some reason, they just don't look as nice and the lips aren't as shiny with the black spokes; not sure why. Again, I did not need spacers. These wheels are made specifically for Mercedes fitments only, so the offsets are correct for our cars. Also, check out Shade's ride ith Petrol Octanes. Those wheels also come in the correct offsets, so, no spacers required.

Good luck!

I think those rears need to be closer to +25.

I have aftermarket wheels on my car and they are factory offsets except the rears are 19x9.5 and the fronts are 18X8 and did I not need any spacers, check them out probably not what you are looking for but if they are PM me and I will give you all the info on them
