Default Pics of our (new to us) '05 Roadster

My wife and I came across some people who were thinking about selling their 05 Limited Roadster. So we took it for a drive the next day and walked away with an accepted offer! Only 18,000 miles on her and she looks and drives like a new car. It has always been stored indoors...with a cover on it.

I too am a new 05 owner and new to this Crossfire form. I have the twin sister to your car!
I do not like the look of my stock rims....However I very much like the Mercedes rims on yours. Can you send me any info on the set of rims that are on your car.
I see this style (rims) a lot over in Europe.

Hi Kevin,

The car came with those when we bought it but he did include the original rims inside the Mercedes Boxes. Here is what the boxes said: Rear = Model 651; Size 19x9.5; Hole 5H; P.C.D. 112; ET 35; Bore 66.6; Color MG. Front = Model 814; Size 18x8.5; Offset 35; PCD 112; Holes 5H; Bore 66.6 Finish GMF
Here is a closeup picture of the rear:

Welcome to the forum. Nice bonus getting those AMG wheels. I found the forum a few months after buying my first Crossfire. It has a great bunch of knowledgeable members. Even with a car with that few miles you can still have a few minor problems that are easily resolved with information on this site.

My wife and I were born and raised in Michigan north of Detroit. I know how the winter salt can really rust up a car. It's fortunate you found one with low miles and garage kept.

I also have a red roadster. It's a garage queen with around 13k on it. I'm not a fan of the stock wheels and am glad with the SE it has SRT look alike wheels, but with dark gray between the spokes.
