I'm glad to finally see somebody painting the SRT stock wheels. That's almost what I'm in the process of doing to mine, but I'm gonna leave the face of the wheels the original color. Gonna paint black in between all the spokes for a subtler effect. Should look awesome. Either way, this car looks really hot.

Damn that looks pretty sick! I love black on black and normally don't like the vert top on our cars but it looks sexy as hell all blacked out. I would trade if it had less miles LOL, only 2,500 on mine. :)

We're going to be seeing that one for sale forever at that price and 42K miles! Black wheels ain't going to sell it.

Those wheels look terrible! Not only does the black wheel not work but leaving the outer rim alum, it looks like whitewalls.

I have to agree with IRXFIRE that the outer rim makes it look like whitewalls. I was seriously thinking about painting Ashley's SRT rims red and leaving the lip original. I think now I will have the entire outside area painted blaze red,but leave the center cap original.:cool:

Yuck, dont like it at all, and at that price for that mileage? GL to the dealer selling that car.

How could anyone think those all black rims look good ??
What is the appeal. They look as bad as a set of SRT rims covered in years of break dust and road dirt. In fact maybe that's why they are all black. Go out and get some new wheels. Also the price and the mileage way out of line.

That car has been for sale for a good while.
I kind of like the wheels myself.

I think that would look terrible IMO. I think the black would look really nice if the center and spokes were black, but the lip (the whole thing up to the spokes) was kept machined, not just the outer rim.

As for the car pictured, I think it was a nice compromise to buying new wheels. Personally, I think custom wheels just don't look right on the Xfire unless you lower it just right and use wheel spacers. The owner of the black car pictured, got a sinister look, saved money, and used the factory wheels that look right on the car. I think the entire lip should have been left machined, but over all, I think it looks good and stands out agains the standard, same old, same old black SRT. Hey, that's why we have opinions right? Some people like, some people don't. No need to be agressive in your opinions though.

Dittos to that. In my view, self expression is way overrated. When it comes to automotive styling, most people don't have enough skill or style to improve their cars- they just muddy things up. Especially a car as pretty as the crossfire. There's no accounting for personal taste...
