Default Replacing the Crossfire Alloys

Hi All, I am a new member.

I have just found out from the Chrysler Dealer in Horsham, West Sussex. Thats both near side alloy wheels inner rims are damaged and the alloys need replacing .

The price from the dealer for two original wheel totaled upto £1300 with the VAT.
So i have decided the replacing all 4 alloys with aftermarkers ones instead as it would be cheaper.

Any one got any ideas on where i should look, as the back alloys are 19" and the front 18" not sure how to go about this.

Any ideas would be great

Cheers

Iain

RTecShop.com & R-Tec Auto Design - Buy Alloy Wheels, Tyres, Exhausts, Air Filters and more...

These are the experts for both wheels and tyres. They supplied mine and were very careful to make sure the wheels suited the car properly. A wheel change can be done easily but great care is needed to get it right so the car rides, steers and handles properly. I spent some time on this as I wanted 19" all round without the risk of rubbing. My rims are an inch wider than standard.
Front 19"x 8.5" rims offset 35mm with 235x35x19" tyres.
Rear 19"x 9.5" rims offset 22mm with 275x35x19" tyres.
R Tec have pics and a record of my fitting for future reference, and I would speak to them.
Good luck,
Steve

Well,you have to pay the price to look good OEM is the way to go according to me but if you have to go for other ones I would go for mercedes AMG copies.

There are sometimes used original rims up for grabs, but rarely in good condition. Style is just personal choice,

I found 4 nice ones of forum member(s) and they are N/A oems for my SRT. If I were the one who wanted OEMs I would go to a scrap yard in the uK, check their status, or order some from Germany as he is living in the UK. It is all up to the eye of the beholder.
Have a nice one mate!
