17" SL 500 rims with michelin alpin tires.
what a combo.

A real meaning to micro machine!!!

 

I call those wheels "factory aftermarket" and they do look nice and Alpins rule in the snow but make sure you pull em' off when the weather isn't snowing anymore as they wear pretty fast when it warms up.

 

Why would you want to drive your XF in the winter?!

 

i don't have a choice.
i scrapped my winter beater aka chrysler '88 new yorker.
god rest its soul.

 

Hello - I placed a deposit on a black xf and hope to buy it when it arrives, assuming I fit in it. It's going to be a year-around car for me and I drive to work in Buffalo, NY. I heard from someone at Tire Rack that the car has an air pressure monitor and when you install a different wheel package, it may either set off a continuous alarm or a dash light. Can you give me some more information about the wheels you bought and where you got them (how much were they?). Any problems with car's computer or speedometer with the same size tires? Hole pattern the same? Thanks for your help.

you will have a dash light that comes on when you change to your winter setup. if you are looking for winter wheels and tires let me know as i have recently gotten rid of my crossfire and have my winter setup available. they are 17" tsw wheels and dunlop winter tires 235/45-17.

 

That sounds good - I have a deposit on the base model, 2006, black, 6 speed-the price was so good, I could not pass it up - always admired these cars, but
have to check if I fit in the car and I can carry larger plans in the hatch. If I buy it, I am definitely interested - can you send me a picture of the wheel/tire?
Also - about how much are you asking for them and where are you located? Why did you sell the XF? Diameter of the tire/wheel cause any problems while driving?
I heard that the base model may not have the tire pressure sensor, so the dash light thing may not be a problem with this car.

Thanks -
