Default New Rims

I just got my new rims on my car and I really like how these change the look of the car.. It's been in the shop for 3 days because of problems. First the manufacturer sent one of the rims damaged. Then when the shop went to install them they found all of them were 19s, so the manufacturer had to send out two 18s.

I really like these so I need details! What kind of rim are they? What's the exact size in front and rear? Your car have spacers? Are those the stock contis on them?

These rims are TSW. Heres a link to the site: http://www.tsw.com/alloy_wheels_estoril.php
I kept the stock tires and sizes, so the fronts are 18 and the rear are 19. And no, I dont have spacers.

Awesome, I didn't even know anyone else had these on a Crossfire. I personally think they look great on a black Crossfire.

The great thing about the rims I got is that they look amazing against the car in the sun. The pictures don't really demonstrate this, but the reflection makes them look awesome. The only thing is that if your looking to make them match the car exactly then the gunmetal won't do it, so then the black would probably be better.

Hi,

I am writing you because I see that you have installed some NON OEM rims and they look really nice. I was just wondering if you had to palce some spacers to fit them or how did you manage to get them to your car. What is the Offset of your wheels in the back?

I am looking for some ET 35 infront and ET22 for the rear rims but can't find some. Now I have found some really good looking rims with an offset of 35 But do I need a spacer of 13mm to install them and of course new bolts.

Thx for the information,

Best regards

The new rims are the exact same size as the stock rims. I bought them to be the same because I wanted to use the same tires. To be honest, I'm quite sure of the offset, I had a store order and install them.
