Default Wanted: Tires and Rims

I am looking to buy a set of tires and rims for a crossfire. Aftermarket, stock, SRT, NA it does not matter. I am mostly interested in a matching set of newer rubber.

Please send pics of what you have and price to hotmako@yahoo.com

Thanks,
John

This is not my listing, just trying to help out.

These are listed on MBworld for $500. Sizes are 19 x 8.5 and 19 x 9.5. They have a vinyl stripe on them, but I bet it peals right off.

Hi Thank you for posting. I like them. Would you know if they are compatible with our crossfires? I have no clue about our offsets etc. Could someone post what offset/ details I shoud be looking for in aftermarket rims?

Thanks and regards,
John

If the offset is 35 for front and back, all four will work fine. However, the rears would look better with 20 or 25mm spacers.

Checked them all. Thank you for posting! For one reason or another I dont think they will work for me. I dont want to run spacers and I am hopeing to have the same offsets as stock. I am also not looking to spend big $.

In that case pretty much your only reasonably priced option is going to be used Crossfire wheels... Its near impossible to find an aftermarket set of staggered 18 front/19 rear wheels, let alone in the correct offsets.. you can always run 18" front and rear but again, finding the right offset is going to be very difficult on the secondary market

Here's a set of Crossfire wheels for $220. Chrysler Crossfire Wheels and Center Caps

Forget it, that's just for 2.

Time to loose a set since I have 2 extra sets of N/A's sitting around. If you're interested I can email you pics. $400 + exact UPS shipping sound reasonable? I could also haul them up to Wilmington if you'd want to make the 100 mile trip.

Yes I figured that much. Thats is why this was my primary looking place. I am not sure if everyone realizes this but I am primarily looking for good matching rubber. My jaw hit the ground when I went tire shopping for the first time. This will be my first set of rubber. I streched the stock conti's on my 07 to 40K. I was also very happy with those conti's when they were new so I figured there may be some new pulloffs floating around here from guys that immediatley upgraded. Finding the post from Donedharm linked above confirmed my suspicion. His set of NA wheels mounted with 6K mile Pilot Sports would have been exactly what I was looking for. I figured I could have gotten tires that I was happy with and a set or spare wheels incase I damage one somewhere down the road. Alas, I was one week to late.

18 and 18 is fine with me as long as the offsets are proper. The 18" rubber seems a little more reasonably priced also.

Witchal, Please send pics! If they have reasonably fresh matching rubber that sounds great. I would even make a run to wilmington.

Thanks everyone!

Well I just drove over 3 hours to the middle of nowhere PA to Purchase a set of tires on SRT rims. The tires were supposed to be 3 good matching Contis and one almost new Yokahama advan S4 alreadty dismounted from one of the rims. My plan was to just get a 4th Conti to finish off the set and maybe sell off or save the Yokahama for later. When I got there What I found was one good Conti Touring front and two 30-40% conti sport rears. I shoud have walked but I dont know what got over me and I purchased them anyway. The seller seemed like a nice guy and he took a couple of bucks off so I kinda felt bad and I got them anyway. I am not even home now 2 minutes and I already have buyers remorse. What I wanted and needed is tires. What I got is SRT rims. These tires are almost a waste as I have very little chance of making a matching set no matter how I look at it. I guess I really shoud have pressed harder to get all the information on all the tires before I drove all the way out there. Live and learn.

With that said, Is there any better market out here for SRT rims? Are they worth a set of good rubber to anyone? If these are worth a good set of new rubber I would gladly swap them. I even think I like the look of my NA wheels better.

I like the look of the srt wheels, sorry to hear about the tire issues.. Maybe see if you can find a used set of tires to replace the ones in the worst condition?
