I finally got around to take pics of my black powder coated SRT rims. Used carbon fiber Mercedes center caps and chrome lug cover caps to get the look i wanted. Wife says it looked better with the stock rims. I'm not sure if i like it myself. What do you guys thinks?

 

I like them a lot. But, I can understand your initial feeling. Like you I like the OEM NA wheels. I just think they go well with the Crossfire. It took me a while to get use to my SRT wheels.

Very nice tho...

 

Looks pretty good IMO.
Give them some time to grow on you

 

I actually like the looks of them myself.

 

That looks really good and is a nice match with your Alabaster. Glad the lip is polished, that really sets it off IMHO.

I think the wheels look great!

 

I like them alot, especially in black. I do like the stock wheel though, it would be tough to choose which I like more. I feel like the perfect wheel for the crossfire would be the SRT's spokes with the NA's concavity. I think your car needs more dark black accents to get the full contrast effect, like the greyish black on the grille and headlights.

 

I think it looks real nice. The polished lip makes all the difference. Without the silver lip, I would say no.

I am not a fan of the black wheel look, but I like this look. I think it is the polished lip , lug nuts and silver star that makes the difference. These would grow on me. Good job.

 

I've always loved your car, very clean and the wheels are similar to what the new SLK 55 is coming out with....

I approve

 

From a distance, at least in the photos, there is no definition because of the poweder coating, you can't see the design of the wheel. The lip does look nice but it looks like the car needs to be lowered to fit better with the wheel. As least thats my two cents.

 

Looking good, glad the deal worked out well, my friend

 

They look better than the ones I've seen painted in a garage. That being said, I can't really see them in the photo's. It's something that would look much better in person.

 

I like them. It is just like what I wanted to do with mine, and with blacked/smoked llights, and accents the affect will be greater.

 

I approve.

In fact, if it were my car I'd do what I did to my Aero Blue Roadster recently and switch all the silver trim to black as well.

 

Looks good. I was thinking about trying it on my OEM N/A rims with my white XF.

Honorable mentions are your clear side markers and side slashers look good as well.
