Default The Startech Crossfire...She's baaaccck!!!

Found an Alabaster coupe with Cedar interior with super low miles in mint condition! Woot woot!

So now the fun part. Ordering my Eibach Pro Kit tonight and my Borla exhaust. Have my Startech spoilers going into the body shop this week to repaint them. Getting some new air tubes for the REnntech airbox.

And now the best part for me is I got a set of Brabus Monoblock VI wheels, real ones, the same ones on the original Startech cars. They are 19x9.5 in the rear and 19x8.5 in the front. I have included pics so that you guys can let me know what spacers I'm going to need to get these to fit.

What size rubber would these require?

Going tomorrow to pick the car up, can't wait, its immaculate one owner.

thanks and its great, I mean great to be back in a Crossfire.

For those that aren't familiar, these are the Startech cars

Going to try and see if my body guy can make a copy of this, what would you guys pay for it?

Hmmm, but are they the same offset as the wheels in the first post? If I don't need spacers great. I just don't want to get rubber on them, have them mounted and then the guy says they won't fit.

thanks

Glad to hear you found what you were looking for. I while back, I knew of one in Florida and I thought I still had the info on it to send to you. But I must have erased it.
Goodluck with the new one.
Sometimes when I'm out in mine, it feels as though every other car on the highway is out to get me.
Not to mention all the suicidal deer around here.

She's in brand new condition with under 30k miles!
One owner, with maintenance records. So lucky.

congrats.. the wheels depend on the offset and the closest I can find are these http://www.ebay.com/itm/19-Brabus-Monoblock-V-Mercedes-wheels-SL500-oem-VI-SL65-amg-SL55-CLS500-CLS55-/141020415415?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Wheel_Packages&hash=item20d578c5b7&vxp=mtr
but that's 10" in the back.. but the offset on those most likely means you wouldn't need spacers

Subscribed!! Looking forward to this build, it's going to look awesome!!!

Are you considering wrapping the trim in c/f to match the dark wheels?

Cheers,
