Default found some nice dish wheels for x-fire

i was looking around dtm autohaus and i came across some wheels that i thought would look really good on the crossfire..

The spokes are straight and seem to be somewhat similar to stock wheels.. i think these would give the x-fire more depth, and bring out how wide it really is..

sizing and more info over here:http://www.dtmautohaus.com/html/kreuz.html

later..

They look nice I am anxious to see what the stock wheels look like when I get my car . If anyone changes the wheel on their x-fire it would be nice to post the pics thanks

Personally, I think the Crossfire's wheels are some of the nicest stock ones I've seen, outside BMW. I don't think there are any cars out there that come with 18's or 19's stock in the $35,000 price range, and definitely not any as nice as the Crossfire's. I am interested in seeing what kind of rims Brabus releases, as I like the ones they make for Mercedes.

I have been thinking I am going to look into having my stock wheels polished. That should look good.

can't wait to see the chromed ones, how much did it cost to have that done? and i think that the xfire would look great with some REAL DEEP dish wheels. some nice polished ones. or maybe some with a deep dish thats polished but the middle a gunmetal if you have that color xfire. :twisted:

i didn't mean deep as in wide i meant it as in the lip. in that pic it didn't look like much of one. on the xfire it would look great with a real deep lip instead of maybe two inches or so.

and those wheels do look good! how much to get'em chromed?

Bob Brown,
What type and amount of tint do you have on your windows?

yeah that pic doesn't do the wheel justice as far as lip.. the wheels are custom built so can basically have any offset you want within reason.. so you could have a 5inch lip if you wanted.. i wouldn't know what offset to run, ill find the stock wheel dimensions and offset.. then you can get a better idea of what offset to run on wider wheels..

found the specs..
Front: 18x7.5", 5x112, ET35, 225/40/18, 66.5
Rear: 19x9", 5x112, ET22, 255/35/19, 66.5

also found this good info on stock size, dunno if im fan of much of those wheels..
http://www.ronalusa.com/cars/chry_crossfire.html

you might be able to pull off those 19x12s if you get them at a et30.. that would give you a nice dish and flush to the fenders.. as for the fronts you don't need to go much wider than stock.. 18x8.5" with a et of 35, should put those flush with the front fenders..

later..

Default Window tint

I had the windows tinted at the Tint Devil here in San Diego, They used HPC Solar Gard 22% VLT. They did a nice job too no ratty edges looks sweet even when you open the doors

I like them. There are few wheels I think would look better than the stock Crossfire wheels, but I think I like these about equally. Nice.
