ebay? Looks ugly to me... if you are to fit your car with aftermarket wheels why not choose ones that at least look good IMO.

Rims are quickly becoming a trend based product similar to clothing... Asanti, Lowenhart, and other high end rims are not much better than unknown chinese company rims, but it has all come down to style and brand name in many cases. I mean just check some sites of companies like zenetti you will see what I am talking about.

Here are a few examples of what I personally like based on look, but the last 2 rims are both extremely highly priced and multi-piece so I probably would not purchase either of them personally, but take a look.

This is so my style multi spoke, chrome look, very affordable. Something I would personally buy.

Awesome for a black car and also has the perfect sizing for the crossfire.. expensive, but surely a good choice.

Another expensive asanti piece, but nevertheless beautiful...

At the end of the day wheels are down to personal preference.
I like these wheels but some people will not.
Yes ask for opinions from other Crossfire owners but decide for yourself.
The Crossfire is one of few cars that I really like the stock rims.
I think a lot of people just change them to be different.
If you are changing I would try and get rims that no one else has got so that you are different.
But that's just my opinion.
Good luck in finding a set that you like but please take time in doing so as it's a big purchase if you don't like them.

Norrie.

I kind like the Stern's ST1, specially on a black XF. Here are a couple more pics. (No relation to the seller on ebay).

Yeah, I am leaning towards just chroming my stock alloys.

by all means go for it... it is not a bad choice, it doesn't cost much and looks good... besides you won't have to worry about fitting them.
