I like the chrome and black look, giovanna, expensive? what's the size and offsets. don't buy them if they aren't right offsets, it will make them look like crap. and those bolts around the edge are really hard to clean from my experience.

See the profile for member nascarhq -- his signature includes "Giovanna Sabina wheels 20x10 19x8.5 with removable black caps."

so they are half inch wider in the back, and 1 inch in front. they look good on a white, since it has a black top, and i see yours is black, so they should look good. i don't really like all black since it kinda get lost, but these looks nice.

Beautiful wheels... but... and here comes the 'but'.

I don't personally (my opinion, take or leave) think they look 'right' on a Crossfire. The offset is fine and everything, but the style just doesn't match.

Those wheels look more like something I would see on a lowered truck or more boxy styled car.

Again, just my taste... if you like them and think they make your Crossfire look better to you... you are set.

Those wheels would look good on a Chrysler 300, not a Crossfire.

Agree with NMZ_TimeLord and GatorLCA.

Honestly I think they look a bit too much for such a small car. I prefer a cleaner simple wheel for a car like ours. Like the Mandrus Millenium or the Xfire Limited wheels and Renntech customs! Just my .02.

Good luck.

I have to agree. Too much/busy for our sleek cars. But then again, thats just my opinion.

I've been looking at rims for my car for quite some time and haven't really seen anything that I think can match what is already on my car - we've got some nice rims when all is said and done. DC did a nice job selecting what they put on our cars.

This car needs more of a tuner type rim but not too ricer and no chrome. Now unless you get all of the accents available chromed (windshield surround, the 3 pieces on the side, mirrors, etc) then yes but a nice deep dish rim with a silver machined lip would do much better in looks.

Yeah I know where you guys are coming from.
It's very hard to know what they will look like on the car.
I also like the stock wheels but I wouldn't mind a change.
I think I would really want silver with a stainless steel lip.
I also think I would like something with no bolts around the outside as they would be a bugger to keep clean.

So Ideally five or six spoke with a big polished rim.

The price of wheels and tyres in the U.K are unbelievable so my best bet is to try and get a set from the States.
They are about the same price in Dollars as they are in pounds over here.
So at the current exchange rate about double the price plus some.
