The new rims look very good. Although the Crossfire comes stock with the best-looking rims of any car in its class, it's also nice to see differences and upgrades.

Very nice addition to an already nice car. What lug studs did you use, where did you get the rims, and how much were the spacers ?

Nice rims with a lip... But be careful using spacers. If they are too big, the lug bolts aren't long enough to get enough thread "bite" revolutions and torque to hold them down, the wheels might loosen up over time. Check them every so often 110 ft lbs. of torque. This is "wheel" dependent on offset, hole depth etc. Just keep your eye on them... so one doesn't spin off on you while cruising... ugh, awful thought.

i have spacers on my crossfire with extended lug bolts and i still torque to 81 ft lbs (oem recommended) and i haven't had any problems in 20k.

but it can't hurt to keep an eye on them bolts.

Thanks for the comments. The spacers where around $120. The bolts where actually too long at first and we had to shave them down a little bit. I have not had any problems so far. I meant to post this in the coupe section so i'll post again over there.

Really nice. They don't draw your eye away from the car and make the wheels the object of all the attention. They compliment the car and make it more individual.
