Default Wheel decisions

I've been tossing around ideas for wheels on my crossfire. need a little input. Most of these wheels came off of audis, so I would be dirlling my hubs and rotors to accommodate 14mm audi wheel bolts and boring the centers of the wheels. Most of my friends are audi guys, and if you dont know an audi owner, they are pretty much wheels ****** and seem to have the best wheels all the time.


Car is an 07 black limited coupe by the way.

Ultimately I'm trying to go with something classy/vip style, staying true to the pedigree of the car and I will only run real wheels only, no fakes.


My cousin has a set of work vs-xx 2 piece that would be amazing
19x9 +26 all the way around
these here


Lamborghini gallardo wheels
19x8.5 +42 front
19x11 +52 rear
I've already looked into spacers and they arent a problem


MRR HR3's
20x8.5 front
20x9.5 rear
(i personally have always liked these, slammed vip style)



Emil Mandrus
20x8.5 front
20x10 rear

I saw the MRR HR3's in person done in chrome and they looked awsome. I have never seen it on a crossfire thoe but the rims do look great

None of those worked for me but what do I know? Like elegant not gaudy like the whoopdies we see around here. A whoopdie is a car that has wheels worth more than the car in our area.

There's nothing gaudy about those wheels. They are some of the nicest most sought after wheels.
Im debating about redrilling my hubs to 5x120. my dad has a spare set of z06 brakes and a set of zr1 wheels that would look so sexy

I'm debating about doing a 20/22 stagger on viper reps. they are 5x115. I can try to get wobble bolts to work or i'll just redrill to 5x115

the problem you have with anything audi is you have to machine the centerbore of the wheels, and audi's you larger wheelbolts, so youd have to have your hubs and rotors machined to fit 14mm wheel bolts

Most of the wheels your considering (I know your not me) I would eliminate because of the weight. Not only that, but while they are stylish wheels I see most of the choices being better on a large car. My personal preference is 5 spoke, mesh or more spokes than the stock SRT wheels.

believe it or not, they weigh less than the stock wheels (forged vs cast)
they have thinner faces than cast wheels.

and im not too concerned about weight, with the power I plan on making, an extra 30lbs means little

How about something like this:

Check out Lexani's wheel builder studio.... It is pretty impressive what you can do with their wheels, and they do have our bolt pattern with offsets that work. http://www.lexani.com/Wheel_Builder....finish/?wid=20

IDK, but it's about 100mm negative offset! Might rub during...anything.

Might look a bit funny. Pretty, though!

I like the look of the Quinto also, but who has 8 grand to drop for wheels for a Crossfire? Not me, and I would dare say a college student would not either.
