Default POLL: which wheels... Limited or SRT-6 ?

long story short, i have a set of limited wheels and a set of SRT-6 wheels. I am trying to decide which ones i like better. right now i've got the Limited's on the front and the SRT's on the rear (yes, like a hoopdie) and the results of people i ask have been pretty well split 50/50.

so what do you think i should keep on the car? i would have made this a poll, but the option has been removed. i don't want to keep both; i'd like to recover some of the money spent on the set of wheels by selling the ones i won't be using.

POLL TIME!!

I like the SRT-6 wheels, the rear wheels have a little bigger lip then the fronts which looks cool. The machined face and lips of the wheels shine nice when clean too.
I also like how the wheels "go" with side strakes on the side of the car better then the reg Crossfire wheels do.

I second Eracer76...SRT6 hands down. I had the limited before trading it in for the SRT and never looked back.

I definitely prefer the Limited rims. In fact I think they are so much a part of the original Crossfire design and look that I prefer them to any other aftermarket design I have so far seen. It's like Fuchs on a 911 or Halibrands on a Cobra. Just my 02.

I prefer the original rims from the limited. There's just something about that 7-spoke design - (my 2¢).

The Limited rims always remind me of big sunflowers; this is the main reason I went aftermarket.

I say keep the SRT-6 rims on.

Hands down...the LIMITED factory wheels are More Unique and Fitting the Overall "look" of the Crossfire!!! (IMO) ...If i was into the "stock" look i would have kept those on instead of Aftermarket.

Having owned both sets of wheels, I tend to lean toward the SRT-6 wheels. The reason being that the SRT-6 wheels aren't seen very often as there are fewer SRT-6 models than Base or Limited Xfires. Of course, there are few XFires to be seen period.

The Limited wheels also look great on the car. They are nice looking wheels.

In summary, you have a nice "problem" to resolve.

Chrysler says the SRT-6 wheels are lighter than limited wheels. I'd like to know by how much. Because I see performance as more important than looks...go with the SRT-6 wheels.

I want some of what Blades been smokin see'in XF wheels in yellow sunflowers. Blade you sure you're not smokin the sunflowers and watering the wheels? IMO I love the Ltd. wheels. Think they're one of the nicest factory issue wheels on the market. The SRT6 wheel has to many spokes, I imagine its a real PIA to clean. Now thats not to say if I keep the car forever I wouldn't go aftermarket just to be different but for now I like the look and relative ease of cleaning the Ltd. wheel.

i was curious about this too -- UPS sticker read that the front SRT's weighed in at 47/48 lbs (rim and tire), and the rears 58 lbs (rim and tire). i don't know what the Limited's weigh.

BTW, the official tally so far... still 50/50! haha.

I like the look of the Limited wheels better and actually prefer them to many of the aftermarkets I see.

Can't help it. The stock wheels were the only thing I didn't like about this car.

Limited striped to match paint looks best to me.

I prefer the look of the stock Limited wheels over the SRT-6 wheels. IMO they have a bolder look with the thick sculpted spoke. They're easier to clean too!

I vote Limited. The bold spokes look sportier. I don't care for the multi spokes on the new Benz coupes either.
