Yeah, I must agree. The black wheels just don't set off the correct look of the Crossfire. I would prefer the silver spoke with chrome deep dish wheels on the SSB. Much more classy looking IMO.

Idesautel Thank you for the photo shope. I think the rims look pretty good but the paint not so much. i am not realy sure about chrome it is to flashy for my tastes and i feel silver is alittle average. But i dont know I will have to think on this. Thanks for your input guys, any more comments would be great I would Like to hear every one's oppinion

Hi,

I think those rims would look good on it, if they were in titanium colour, the black option makes them look a little bit smaller than they really are.

I am thinking of going to install these Lorinser LM6 wheels in my car or the Option M443 9.5x19. What do you think of them.

By the way how easy is it to install a spacer, never done it. I don't even know if it is legal. But it is really hard to find some wheels in ET22.

Best regards,

Here is the picture that I found in the forum with the wheels. I think they look amazing.

Yeah those look sweet. WHat wheels are they? ANd I belive if you get 19x9.5 and a 35mm offfset on the rear tires you will not have to use a spacer.

reply to: Yeah those look sweet. WHat wheels are they? ANd I belive if you get 19x9.5 and a 35mm offfset on the rear tires you will not have to use a spacer

The problem is that the wheels in the 06' roadster that I have are in these sizes:

front: 18x7,5" 5x112, ET35 225/40/18" 66,5
rear: 19x9" 5x112, ET22 255/35/19 66,5

So the offset should be 22....???? And it is imposible to find those sizes.

The ones in the picture are the Lorinser LM6 wheels. used also in the MB SLR.
I Need to find quikly those wheels cos' I have to change the normal wheels for winter tires. and i think those are the best looking wheels i have seen in a while. My last wheels in my former Audi TT where the ASA ar1. And now I want to change a bit in the style.

What do other peple think of them and would it be possible to place them in the roadster xfire.

best regards,

Arc, here's a real nice set of 19" in rear and 18" fronts ADR's for $549 on e-bay. They have grey spokes, so it's a nice contrast. I'm considering these for mine if I ever go aftermarket. I like the OEMs better.

Here's the link. The ones in the link are all 18", but he priced them for me for the stagger ones. Here's his number as well if you have any questions. I would try to get the lug nuts from him for free, or at least at a discount.

Be aware, ADR's are really hard to get balanced. I really like those wheels too but my xf is a daily driver so I tend to shy away from parts that have a potential to land it in the shop.

You are bad! LOL

i just purchased random new Olympic plates for my Crossfire...They match really well even though the front plate is located beside my passenger seat The first three numbers were the prefix of my old phone number, and the last three letters are MBE (Mercedes Benz) At least I can remember it.....
