Default chrome wheels

Does anyone know where i could get some chromed alloy wheels for a Chyrsler Crossfire SRT6? I'm in the UK. Do you need different ones to the standard Crossfire due to the brakes?

The standard XF wheels will not fit the SRT6. The calipers are too big. You need to research "staggered" fit wheels for your SRT6. A Hint: THEY ARE EXPENSIVE. If you have a "great" wheel shop in your area, consider chrome dipping your stock wheels. Good luck.

You could just buy another set of srt-6 rims and chrome those.

I am also thinking about some new chrome wheels. Here are 3 that I like so far. As far as I can tell, all 3 are available in original Crossfire wheel sizes or slightly plus-sized (wider or taller), with appropriate offset and bolt diameter. #1 is by RPM Style 505. #2 is by Rial called Sion. #3 is by DiVinci called Piano Forte. The Rial Sions look somewhat similar to the original SRT6 wheels (15 spoke), just a little classier. But so far, I have only seen the Sions on European web sights, none in the US. That might be good for you in the UK. I would be interested to see what wheels other people have, or have considered.

I have an extra set, can't decide what to do. Not sure if I want to chrome the SRT-6's or not.

I can't say that any of those wheels will compliment the Crossfire. They're too aggressive and "Escalade in da hood" bling to fit with the lines of the car.

The first one may be a little better if it had a dark center and polished (not chrome) outer.

Careful with the "Escalade in da hood" stereotype we don't want to offend anyone.

Well I for one was offended.
Who does he think he is using the word "Escalade"!

Feets - - Come to think of it, I have been seeing those "look Ma, no centers in my rims" blackout type wheels on a bunch of Escalades lately... no thanks. I'll stick to the blingage type wheels, I think they accentuate the not so subtle lines of Crossfire.
