Default Rim opinion... enlisting your help here!

Hey everyone! been a while since i've been on here, been busy with school and whatnot.

Well... I was almost dead set on a set of Stern ST-1 chromes a few months back... but now I see quite a few people with them so..... need opinions.

#1: Stern ST-4 Warp


#2: Stern ST-1 Chrome:


#3: TSW Croft:


So...opinions? remember this is on an alabaster beauty

The #2 Sterns were my second choice. The #1 wheels will work... if you need to slice some potatoes!

#3, but you'll def. need to make sure they come in the correct offsets, otherwise you'll need spacers for sure with those. Haven't seen those on a Crossfire yet.

Actually, I say none of them! I may be biased, but I say go with Mandrus milleniums! No wait, don't!

Check out Petrol wheels also, they are made by TSW and have some awesome wheels!

Hey, I say #2! Those will look cool. Especially in a 19/20 combo.

I'm checking out the petrols and if I do decide on them it'll definitely be the octanes, but i see a few people running those already.

If anyone has any suggestions for something I may be looking for feel free to add, The look that I was REALLY looking for is well....if you've seen the new BMW M3 wheels in person, you know what I mean.

Machined face, looked almost chrome really, but black well and sides on the spokes, the ONLY thing not black was the face...and they look just gorgeous.




I found these, but I dont really like the MB emblems...maybe I could cover them up? or think I'd just have to deal with them? Only 659 with shipping...

Brian - I'm partial to the Sterns, #2. They look like my wheels but in chrome.

Yeah I think I'm in agreement with that, going to get the Sterns priced, then check the offsets on the MB, and if it works, i'm going for the MB.

For what it's worth, I think the OEM SRT wheels are by far the nicest fit. Even the OEM SRT version of the Chrysler 300C wheels are a sharp looking set.

I think aluminum wheels present a very refined image. I'm just not a real fan of cars all gangstered up with chrome.

I was talking about the center caps ... the eBay vendor has them in several sizes. They also have the old Karmann logo (can't link the image, though)

Well thats the thing, if you look in my gallery, i have the chrome stocks, and that's why I'm thinking those MB's...they're not chrome, machined face...
