What a difference a taller tire makes, huh?
That looks killer.

Best looking wheels I've seen on a Crossfire yet! Are you running any spacers or can they be ordered in stock offsets?

I really like what you have done with it, and I am generally not a fan of all black wheels.

The intense blue color helps you get away with the all black rims, and it looks great. The other subtle touches - handles, strakes, windshield surround, debadge, etc just make it look all much more clean.

Nice work.

Thanks guys for the compliments much appreciated.

Alzilla, no spacers right now, but I have a set of 20mm eibachs coming today for the rears that I will put on tomorrow. I'll update the pics once they are on.

I bought some black lugs from TSW for the rims. For the spacers u will need longer cone head seated lugs for the rims.

Keep me updated.

I have come up with an idea if i can find lug bolts long enough we can just run the lugs straight threw the wheel threw the spacer into the rotor and be done but im not sure if this is the safest way tho idk if you could ever get it tight enough.

The black ones that you orderd did they have the ball seat or the cone seat your previous post confused me

I didn't think I'd like black rims on a blue Crossfire but it looks good. I also like the color matching you've done on the trim pieces. Have you considered smoking the headlights and tail lights? I think it would tie it all together with the black rims and tint.

That looks unreal man, such a nice contrast with the blue car and black wheels!

If you dont mind me asking what sort of rotors do you have they look real nice

Ok so, I was on the phone with Ryan from Element Custom Wheels Tires, Wheel Tire Packages,Cheap Rims,Car Wheels kick a$$ group of guys and the best prices on wheels i have found)for like an hour and i got the lug bolt figured out and ordered them! These cars are such a ***** to do anything with!!! But I guess that makes it all worth while when your finished.... My wheels will be at his place tomorrow and mine on saturday then the project will begin!

Make absolutely sure you have the proper length. If they are just ever so slightly too long on the rear, you will be doing an emergency brake repair. Plenty information can be found on this forum to measure for the proper length once you get your rims.

Les, I doubt I would smoke the headlamps, but i been trying to find someone in my town to do the tails and no one does the tail tint. I guess my only option would be to paint them like a few members have done. I havent priced it yet. Def a summer project for sure.

Thanks dude. The rotors are R1 Concepts cross drilled/slotted. Running Akebono brake pads all around for minimal brake dust. Works well.
