I just did all of mine on my SRT 6. I highly reccomend this. They look brand new now. I can't stop walking by and looking INTO the wheel now.

It took about 5 hours to do all four and wax them but WELL worth it.

 

I do mine every month !!!
Gotta keep em clean IMO

 

I can't beleive you let them get dirty in the first place.

Shame. Shame...

 

Well, I guess most normal people don't. But Crossfire owners aren't most people. My wheels come off at least monthly. Because I race my car, it's a necessity. I'm constantly bleeding the brakes and checking the pads and suspension for wear or damage and while the wheels are off, well, they have to be cleaned! For balance, weight, beauty, etc. My pads are not dust free but holy cow do they grip!

Hey Les,

What torque should our lugs be at? I just want to be sure that I am not too tight or lose. Thanks.

 

Lug bolts are torqued to 81ft/lbs??? my memory might be off.....

 

I torque mine to 85 ft. lbs. With all the abuse I give them they've never come loose. Just be sure the hub centric rings seat flush or you may have a weird wobbly wheel. It happened to me on the first instal. I pulled back into my parking and found my brain damaged error. If you over torque (like tire shops do) you can damage the threads. I've had to tap a few of mine and clean threads on the lugs from idiots with air wrenches. They like to hammer them on way too tight.

what kind of rims on that blue crossfire?

 

Mike's rims are AMG's I think....MB or AMG...one or the other...He will correct me, count on it...

 

My buddy said most of the gunk on the rims is from cheap brake pads. I paid for the $70 front brake pads at O'Reilly's. So we'll see. Wagner or something like that. He also said don't cheap out on brake pads.

 

~ ditto...

and while your at it... don't forget the underside & well wheels... (and yes this car was a daily driver... rain & snow).

 

Another 'Boro member! Nice!

 

Andrew thats **** but looks super good I cant get under mine my belly is too BIG

 

They are copy AMG 810's.... I got them from Rob at Needswings.....

 

Andrew is **** rententive about keeping his car clean...YES, it looks GREAT!

I cant get under mine either.... I'd have to be as flat as a run over cat! .... but that is what they make jacks for isn't it????

 

obviously you haven't seen my belly
. I try to spray the under side of mine during the warm months .. but I do try to keep the wheels back and front cleaned whenever its washed

 

So do you get a discount on buying toothbrushes in bulk..soft bristle..stiff..or variety pack? If you get bored and need something to do some weekend give me a call by all means!
