Need Help With Rims

I just bought my XF last month and I have been trying with out prevail to decide on a rim and rim color that i like. I have a 2004 not totally sure of the exact color code but its the blue-ish silver .. i cant find the plate and its too dark outside to see.

i was wondering if anyone had any ideas or seen any or if anyone has pics of their own so i can get some ideas of rims.

Thnx for the help in advance

Shappire Silver Blue, (SSB), perhaps. Darker blue would be Aero Blue.

Re: Need Help With Rims

Actually the"REAL Old Corps Marines" were regarded as the 'China Marines and the FMF' of the mid to late 30's. (but you know that

) Haven't thought about how we would be regarded (been a long time since the late 50's) by the newer Corps members. When I was 19 I thought 35 was old. When I hit 30 I revised it to 50. When I hit 60 I started thinking you didn't get old til you hit 90! (and those numbers are NOT MPH)

But I'll gladly accept 'old Corps meets new Corps'. Now with a RED Crossfire roadster I'm feeling younger and younger!! And, as has been said before, 'can't keep the smile off my face while I'm driving it'!!!!
