Default Just purchased My first Crossfire! Whoopie!

Well first I wanted to say hello to all as I am new to this site. I have been a forum guy on bike sites before with my custom honda shadow, but now I have moved up to the land of convertible crossfires. Well I wanted to say a hi to all of the members and get your thoughts on a couple of things.

I am currnetly not going to have my baby garaged for the next several months and wanted to get recommenations on a great car cover.

Also I do want to put on some shoes but of the little that I have seen I have not found many wow wheels that outdoo the stock ones. My goal will be to differentiate my ride but not put too much cheezy stickon stuff to make it look bolt on. My bike started out that way and as with all of us we learn and grow and eventually my ride was featured with a 6 page spread in vtwin magazine and photographed by the same photographer that shoots the OCC bikes. So I think that I have a pretty good level of taste so I look to you all to get me to the right place to see some great pictures with wheels. THe gallery btw has been more of a challenge to navigate for specific requests.

Thanks again and I am a part of the Xfire club!

Nate

Welcome to the forum! I have the mopar cover for my car, and I am impressed with it. Everything fits snugly, even the cutouts for the sideview mirrors. There is even a clear section for the license plate and a heat-resistant laminate for the exhaust.

As far as customizing, there are two ways I've seen people go. 1) slightly bigger, shiny, bling-bling wheels and 2) thin-spoked racing wheels that show off the brakes

Spend some time searching around, and you'll get a pretty good idea of what people are doing.

You might look at the stock SRT6 wheels. Look in the gallery under crossfire wallpaper and look at the second page under srt6. A nice upgrade that belongs with the car. By the way, welcome to the forum good info to help you out.

Welcome to the forum nate_man!
Be sure to browse around the site. PLENTY of information here.
I agree that the gallery can be a challenge to navigate. Maybe I just need to really look at it someday.
Good luck on your search.
"See" ya on the forum.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new ride! Good luck with your search on the wheels. I've been looking 6 months for new wheels for the limited and just can't make a decision.

Howdy! I know how you feel! I'm still opening the garage, turning on the lights, and trying to figure out someplace to drive for no reason. It's been a week.

Hey, how about a few pics of the bike?
