I saw a few people asking about how these wheels would look on a Crossfire. 18X8.5 front. 19X19.5 on the rear. By the way, the car is going up for sale shortly. Check out the classifieds for more details.

I just had a set of these, same size as yours, mounted on my car but in flat black. Got a truly insane price through work! I've got some other changes to the car's appearance happening in the next few days to finish it all off so I'm holding off on pix until then. But yeah, these are really nice wheels on a Crossfire, no doubt about it.

 

For me, the rims and tires came to $1500. Throw in the road force balance and the road hazard warranty and it came out to around $1800. Must be nice to be in the business! Can't wait to see your pictures. Black sounds nice!

 

you mean these?

 

That is one sweet looking XF NICE JOB!

 

Thanks I need an updated side shot! Blacked out tails now... Im thinking a little more black to come!!

 

Me too, but I can not wait to see what you do, Mike...

 

I'm going to post these hastily shot images elsewhere, but since I responded to this thread I figure I should put 'em here too. I need to get better shots but we just finished this off yesterday afternoon and with Monterey Week in full swing and me headed up the coast tomorrow for Concorso Italiano, RM Auctions, Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion and Pebble Beach I just don't have time.

The Doningtons are on with the factory tires mounted. All the exterior silver trim has been wrapped in Wraptivo flat black to match the wheels; the CROSSFIRE letters have been taken off the back (I've resprayed them flat black but may not bother putting them back on) and the slasher stripes have been swapped for flat black as well. Oh, and the chrome Chrysler wing logos front and rear are wrapped in flat black with the center emblems left exposed. The only issue was trying to wrap the roll hoops - I'll have to take them out in order to do a proper job, but many coworkers think I should leave them silver to match the interior console bits. I'm still on the fence. Yes, I know, I need to lose the shiny license plate frame, too.

You can see the Seat Cupra front lip spoiler but the Mopar rear diffusers are hard to see in the badly underexposed rear 3/4 image.

Bottom line: I wanted to dramatically change the look of the car and I think this flat black change does just that, making the car look much more aggressive overall.

 

Really nice!! I love flat black! Forget the co-workers do them bars in the black! Are you doing the wraps yourself? Where did you get the materials if you are?

 

Love it. You gave the car a unique yet classy look. Beautiful ride. I love the aggressiveness of the front grill too.

 

I'm definitely going to do them, it's just going to be a bit before I'll have the time to pull them out in order to do it.

I wrapped the windshield surround, side strakes, and swapped out the slasher stripes myself, but I needed an installer we use to do the door handles, hoops and emblems. I get the material at work (Wraptivo is a new sub brand of Meguiar's) and got an insane deal on the wheels through work as well (I hesitate to mention what all this cost me because, as far as I can tell, nobody on this forum hates me at this point but that might change if I mention what this cost me!).

When it was all done, our brand manager for Wraptivo, who is also our PR manager, said he'd like to the car in our booth at some events down the line. That could be easy to do since I get out to a lot of the events we do locally anyway. In fact, tomorrow I'm off for a few days in Monterey for Concorso Italiano, Pebble Beach, RM Auctions, etc.

 

Thanks! I was inspired by pictures I've seen of the new Jaguar XKR-S and Audi R8 GT Convertible - both shown in blue with all black trim. I loved the look and have been wanting to do something with this car since I bought it new back in '07!

 

Mike, the Blue with Black looks very kool.

I've been kinda set with going with the Mandrus Wilhelm's as soon as I get the dinaro ($$$).

Now I'm wondering how the TSW Black's would look against my SSB...lol...

BTW, where did you get the color matching front License Plate plugs, or did you use standard plugs and paint them yourself...???

 

Uh, yeah, about those........ ever buy furniture at Ikea? You know the little plastic caps for the screw heads? Yep. Sprayed 'em Aero Blue with a can of touch up from the dealer and glued 'em into the holes.

 

Bahaha looks good tho and a quick easy solution!!

 

I know this is old thread but i was looking at these tsw donington rims, i have the black mesh grilles off ebay and am plasti dipping other chrome parts of my car and using the glossifier to keep them looking like the grille.. anyways, will these being matte clash with the glossy black, or is there a way to gloss the rims?

 

Also where did yall find yours? i cant find anyplace online that sells them.

Just something to keep in mind... Cleaning this style rim SUCKS. I love the style but hate all the little corners everywhere
