even though i changed my mind on gold wheels for the Xfire, i would have to admit, these look sweet:

I was checking images and I would recomend Bronze more than gold

 

its the style of the wheels that may appeal to you more than the color. bbs ,oz ,d2 wheels are all great no matter the color

 

i was just going to say maybe with a different wheel you could pull gold off. but the face of the oem wheel is just to large to be gold.

 

OEM gold wheels may work if youre sharing your car with Snoop Dog. Gold wheels make me think...

 

Like the BMW's, a light gold/bronze rim with a chrome lip looks cool. A full gold rim looks too cheesy.

 

The price of gold is up, up, up. But on your wheels it will look cheap, cheap, cheap.

 

I like white ones as well

or pink?

 

I think I'm about to hurl!

 

Ok, shut photoshop down and step away from that keyboard. You have gone too far this time. LOL

P.S. Alabaster white wheels might look pretty damn good. As for the pink...... Don't make me send out the manly man police.

 

White looks a billion times better on your car. Of course, it is photoshop, so it's going to come out different IRL. Who knows. If you wanted to do something with the stock wheels, I would say that would be the best bet.

As for the trim, I didn't even notice until you said something. Weird.

 

Although your colors are a little off, stock wheels in Alabaster would look great IMHO. Just get some brake pads that don't dust because the white wheels would look like hell after only a few stops.

Oh, and don't paint the center caps.

 

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of the alabaster white wheels. Especially since you have a monochrome look going on already with the strakes, windshield surround, etc.

I think you should go for it. It would definitely make for a unique and elegant look. Like Inferno said, be sure to get some ceramic brake pads. Akebono or Retex Gold are both good options, I got some akebono's for christmas. I just need to get them put on now.

I would paint the center caps also and get some of the Crossfire Coupe logos for the center caps that you can buy on here.

 

Well, I personally like the idea of white as well. If i can get matching paint and find somebody to do it, i will go for it. Oh i would also paint the center caps as well or else it wouldnt look right.

About brakedust, ever since i got the car i never had that issue, it has literally 0 dust. I guess previous owner must have put something decent there

Check my sig. that is after driving it for 2 weeks. Perfectly clean.

 

I look forward to seeing how it comes out. Yep, if you didn't have ceramic pads, you would have noticed the day you drove it home. Congrats on the upgrade that you didn't know you had.

 

Has anyone seen any pics of black XFs with gold rims? I am so tempted...

Send em out & have them chromed !!!!!! Thats what I wish I could afford to do !!!!!

 

Old thread, but I thought about polished lip and gold spoke wheels for ole' blue. Polished lip and black spokes for ole black... but wheels seems to always get put on the back burner...

 

Im only 5 years behind on this response but i did my wheels gold on my SRT. i think they turned out awesome. Like anything else u do to ur car, its all personal preference. Some ppl will love it some ppl will hate it. Either way, just tell them ur the one driving it. Ive put a before an after pic of my gold wheels. I left the wheel lips silver so there would still be a relationship between the wheels and the silver accents on the car. Although i went to the darkside with gold wheels, i have to draw the line at painting the car accents gold to match.

Ask most any automotive enthusiast who started the black & gold paint scheme, and depending on their age, some will say the Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am. Others will mention the Cosworth Vega, and the older crowd will more often than not say the Hertz Shelby GT 350 Mustangs.
But DeSoto, and Plymouth offered it 1st in 1955 on their new 1956 models.
I think a Crossfire "Adventurer" Series has a cool ring to it.
