FP, they are pretty good looking rims. I dont think I like the center pattern on them. They are also 19" all around. They say staggered but I presume they are referring to thefact that they are different width's.

Yep, I'm not crazy about the center pattern either.

 

I like em!

Niether am I FP.....they look a bit "truckish" (if thats a word...lol).

 

I actually like them. Too bad bad they are not 18/19" though. Good price!

 

Petrol is a division of TSW just like Mandrus. They are made in China and look quite nice. I like the fact that it's not a fake multi piece wheel (I hate fake rivets) However, when I was modding VW's about 10 years ago alot of guy's used to say TSW stood for Totally Soft Wheels. Several guys bent them fairly easily, but that was years ago. I have to say I have never owned a set of TSW wheels. I don't mean to offend or alarm anyone that has them so please don't flame me. I would hesitate to put 19's on the front of my car (unless they were forged) in fear of bending a rim on the first hard charging pot hole I hit. I just don't see enough protection with the sidewall being only 3 inches high bead and all.

 

Ditto on the centers !

 

I like those wheels. They would look great on a black Crossfire. The chrome deep dish is really nice looking. At that price you can't go wrong.

 

Nice looking rim, did you contact the seller and ask about 18" & 19" combo?

 

And, FP, did you see the recent thread started by Andrew about these same rims?

At first, I didn't care for them, but by the 3rd time I looked at them the centers seemed much less "truckish". To coin a phrase.

On a black xFire, They would look pretty darned nice.

JMHO

 

Yep, they do grow on you.

 

maybe you could paint the center pattern blk to match your car to give it a 3 dimensional look...it looks like it is raised a little bit, I like them...but I wouldn't want 19's on the front

 

Could you wedge 19's in the front after lowering?

 

LOVE THEM! would have bought them if i could afford it.

 

Staggered means different sizes, or different widths between the front of back from what I found. By looking at those pictures it looks like the offset for the two wheels are different also, by quite a bit.

Also instead of painting the center caps you could probably find someone to cut some vinyl graphics, that would be easy to replace if they get chipped up and stuff.


· What is a staggered fitment?

A staggered fitment is also referred to as a staggered application. Basically, it means that the wheels on the back of the vehicle are a different size than those on the front. Wider wheels are usually run on the back; for example, 19x8 on the front and 19x9.5 on the rear. This is typically done on rear wheel drive cars such as Infiniti G35, Nissan 350Z, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW, Ford Mustang, and others. Running wider wheels on the drive wheels means more grip on acceleration, and, from an aesthetic perspective, large lips. The TSW Thruxton 20x10, for example, carries a huge 5" lip.

A staggered fitment can also mean larger diameter wheels on rear, like 17" diameter on the front and 18" diameter on rear. Some examples of this would be aftermarket Acura NSX and Chevy Corvette.

 

yes 19s work in the front with lowered car. you just have to drop down a profile. i think mines a 235 30 19 off the top of my head.

 

The wheels look like they would look great on a crossfire. The ebay ad also said they had models for Crossfire and SRT 6. Maybe that would address the 18"/19" issue. They look pretty good for the price!

 

YES... Black with the polished lip in standard 18-19 size would look great

 

They also have them without the red accent on the center cover.
