first, i think those wheels are going to look great on your car.
second, i dont see why people are ragging on you. like some people have said, it may not be a good investment money wise. but it may be a good investment personal satisfaction wise.
third, for the people that support the idea of the srt-6, what if mightyjlr wants to keep his 6speed? thats a big con about the amg...no manual transmission. some people will not drive a car that is not a manual. therefore, startech might be the only option for serious performance upgrades while keeping the 6speed.

Dan, I know exactly what you mean, but I agree with mightyjlr. I think those wheels are awesome, and while I would rather have a supercharger, When I wear out the current set of tires, I may opt for some really cool wheels and some new shoes as well. After all, what separates us from the normal people is we want our cars to be different from the pack. For him its wheels and chassis stuff. Mighty keep us up on the mods, sounds like it ought to keep gettin faster. Bill

That is one of the reasons I will probably go with RENNtech. Plus, once my lease is up, and I buy the car, the cost of the RENNtech upgrades and how much I will need to pay to buy the car will be less than the cost of the SRT-6. Sure, I could get a trade-in or sell the car, but then I would have to redo many of the mods I've already done to the car. The RENNtech upgrades will be basically like getting a new engine, transmission and suspension. Then add in the fact that it will have almost 100 more hp than a SRT-6...

Mightyjlr-
The wheels will really set your XF off. I think you are putting on the Right Choice Wheel.
My wife has been after me to change. She likes chrome, I like black chrome (what I had on the Beetle).
I wonder what a RED set, like your black ones, would look like????

Danny,
Sounds like you're having a bad day.
You should live in MI. I haven't seen the sun here in a week!

Those wheels look Mighty good! I just had to say it, and it's true. Stock, mild or wild it's all good. I think those wheels will look great.

By the way, which one comes first.......lowering your springs or changing your tires to 19's and 20's?

Modding is what makes your car more exciting and can keep you from thinking of replacing it because you get tired of it. It's like sex.....

I think Dan Root has a root up his... and should not think so highly of his opinion. Cars are anything but investments and customization is in human nature. I would not buy a new car without puttin custom rims on it. He is just mad he has to worry about his money. I think he must be envious of mightyjlr.

Thought I would give you something worth whining about, have at it!
