Default My new wheels! Custom painted Stance SC-5ive!

Haven't done much research so I'm taking my chances when I say that I may have the only Crossfire with this set up.

Either way, my baby got new shoes! Rims are Stance SC-5ive, custom painted Alabaster White to match the Crossfire paint. If I remember correctly, fronts are minor concave 20x8.5 and rears are deep concave 20x10 or 20x10.5 (can't remember now).

What do you guys think?

Have to wait for the nicer weather to welcome itself back so I can go out and do some proper photoshoots.

Perfection...sheer Perfection! Thank You for NOT taking the "blacked out" route. Im so tired of seeing the "Damn someone stole all my hubcaps" look. Rims were meant to be seen..not blend in with the tires..IMO

~ wow ... i really like the end result!!!

make sure you install some dust-free ceramic pads to aid in keeping the insides spotless.

Your Crossfire Limited is the best looking Alabaster Coupe since Andrew's. The roof and grille is a nice contrast to the white and the wheels finish off a great look! I second Andrew's comment about changing out the pads to ceramic, to drastically reduce the dust that will affect those custom wheels.
Great Look!

I like the look too. Purty, and not just the rims. I hope your better than me at parking to preserve them for a long time.

I'm not a big fan of the color or size, but I do like the design. It's a nice wheel and really gives the car a nice stance and appearance.

Thumbs up Re: My new wheels! Custom painted Stance SC-5ive!

As a former Alabaster owner, I freaking LOVE it!!! Alabaster is one of those colors that is classy, but can be sporty at the same time since it's a non-metallic.

Before my car got totaled, my ultimate plan was to get a set of Forgestar F14 wheels, painted Alabaster with a machined face.

I think the look you have going is incredible. A drop would help, BUT I don't know how much room you'd be left with by swapping to the lowering springs on the market. In this unique case, cutting a half coil from the OEM springs might be the best bet. A half coil should only yield 1" drop... most kits on the market drop 1.4". But really I don't see anything wrong with the stance you have now.

Clear corner markers are a MUST!!!! You might even want to look into the chrome trim bits available through CTD-Germany, if you can still get them. They would really pop with the chrome on the wheels.

Again, bravo!

That looks great! The wheels really pop. One thing I'd suggest is painting the flanking windshield trim to match the body color, then paint/wrap the upper strip black to match the roof.

EDIT: Here's a quick and very dirty example

well done, I'm thrilled to see something with that style.. love the concave and the white wheels... mad props... I think white is the best color besides black on these cars...

Definitely paint the windshield trim though.. and white on the grill would help blend it as well.. there are a few people with color matched grills and I've definitely seen a white one before (I would leave the grey strips and paint the rest the match the alabaster).. and +1 on the clear markers.

if you do want some chrome, i've got these for sale https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...le-shells.html

Very nice look. Think I'd white out the grill. The gray does not add much. Maybe even go black to match the roof. Or leave it like it is if you are happy.
