I think it looks nice. Actually, I think it looks ok at the stock ride height. Has a factory look to it and you don't need to worry about rubbing! Enjoy!

I'm still waiting for Mandrus to produce enough wheels to keep up with the demand. Second time the wheels I want are on backorder for an indefinite time!

Very nice. What kind of rubber are those wearing? Curious as I will be replacing my Michelins soon.

Looks sharp!

Actually, I'm looking for something exactly like that.........big chrome lip and open design 5-spokes. You going to paint the calipers next?

Thanks for all the comments!!!!! even though some may say to drop, i dont think i will. ive read about some small issues after dropping. as is, it rides well. The tires are Nitto NT555. Great tires!! also have some on my stock wheels. Caliper paint should be very soon as well as Brembo Rotors, Front and back.

Let us know how much the brembos cost you and hwere you got them. check out the other thread with the guy who just installed the eibach kit. You will probably change your mind about doing it.

Those are GREAT looking wheels! Very nice!!

At least consider the Eibach Pro Kit. Closing that gap would be a good thing.

I'm just going to take a guess and say that NOBODY with a lowered Crossfire ever drives in the snow. I've thought of lowering mine.......but this winter made me think otherwise.

I know this makes no difference to the southerners........but something to think about for us northerners.

Nice choice in wheels. Shiny, but no "bling-bling" gaudiness.

Nice choice. As others have stated, not too bling bling.

What size are they? Are the fronts the same size as the rears? They look the same to my eyes.

thanks again for all the comments!! i appreciate them. Front and back are both 20".The rears are 10'' wide, which really looks great with the 275/30zr20 tires
