I just put some new rims and tires on the xlr8er!!! What do you guys think?

Looks Great....Need more info....What wheels are those and what brand and tire size?
Not going to copy....My XLR is RED

The make of rims are "MRR", they have a great web site. Rear size is a 19x9.5 with a + 45 offset, 275/30R19 tire. Fronts are 19x8.5 with a +38 offset, 245/35R19 tire. They fit great!!! I spent a lot of time and measuring, then searching to find a rim company with that type of size. I have no problems with tire rub and they come right to the edge of the fender.

looks great!
Can we get some more close up pics of the rims front and rear?
Also, how much did the setup set you back?

I have posted some pictures on the link listed below, hope you can see the rims better.

Looks great. Nice work!

Car looks great. Like the way you've personalized it too.

WOW, you have keen eye for attention to detail. I didn't think anyone would notice. :thumbs

You have the blue wreath! It is so pretty!

I am having a hard time seeing your tiny picture though ..... hmmmm, I guess I will have to put on my glasses .... (I hate getting older.) :rolleyes


Okay .... It is time for me to 'fess up ....

We have ordered a Windrestrictor too ...... just yesterday ..... Stephen is still working on a couple of ideas for me .... I love the blue lights the best .... but the one thing I know is that we will order the red. Ray has found out that in California there can be only red lights to the rear of the car, as blue lights are reserved for the police departments. I know - I know ..... I can hear you guys now :bs .... but, Stephen said one of the Restrictor's in FL did have that problem. So ... since I don't want to maybe have to remove it for that reason .... we are going with the red. I love the wreath .... I LOVE THE WREATH .... and I am sure that somehow that is going to be incorporated in the design .... but, I guess we will just make our decision when we see the proofs.

Gosh .... I just can't pass up that bling ......:jester :jester

RA :angel

RA, that's great news! Lola will look so good with her new bling. Can't wait for the pictures. Now Marc will have to get one for Tiffany.

You guys are making my car jealous!!!!!!

I just loved that bling-edy, bling ....bling-bling ..... :jester

HAD to have it .....


RA :angel

Ruthie, OK.............i guessed it and you didn't give me props for guessing correctly.
I love wiring............did you all hear that?..........
I love wiring, guess because I'm a lineman.
I'm going to install a second rocker switch in my console next to my rocker switch for my baffles that will cut the 3rd brake light off at night and my windrestrickter will show better and be my 3rd brake light............Anyone want the directions after I do it?
Bobo
ps..........Steven, would you like to investigate this for your design? Please be my guest.I just loved that bling-edy, bling ....bling-bling ..... :jester

HAD to have it .....


RA :angel

Yeah .... you guessed it .... but you KNEW you did ....
I can't keep anything from you! We were hoping to have it before you stopped by .... :yesnod
Haha .... I told Stephen not to tell you ... hmmmm, I can't even keep my own secrets ...:rolleyes

Does the wind restrictor really help? My wife does not really appreciate the down top. I do.:jester

I bought a windscreen, (mesh type) from my Cadillac dealer prior to driving to RIII and it really makes a big difference. It is black as is the interior of my XLR and is genuine Cadillac equipment, has the emblem on it. If you want to take it off it folds up and stores in a small black bag. So far I have never taken it off as I always put the top down when I back out of my garage. The cost was $535.00. You might want to check it out with your dealer. First Robin

I'm going to ask Steven from Windrestricters to put up a list of buyers from this forum and then you can ask them.
As for me, it's perfect and breaks up the wind to a slight swirl that just feels good. If I want it without wind I put up my windows.

Yes Tiffany has one on its way also. And yes Rich, it is going to be blue. Of course. Wanted to keep it a secret like RA but just couldn't. Getting the wreath with the XLR in solid letters under it. Stephen @ Windrestrictor helped me decide. Thought it would be a little different. Kind of like Ms. Bling.:yesnod

That's great news Marc...will you have for Detroit?

Bruce

I put a Wind Restrictor on about a month ago and it seems to cut the wind about 50%. An easy install. I'm satisfied. The lighted feature wasn't for me for a lot of reasons, so I bought the plain-Jane version.

CC :cheers

Bruce, don't know if it will be ready by Detroit or not. I got in on the last minute deadline. I'm on the list though. Should have by Funfest anyway.

Marc

I'm thinking you should of had Steven etch a picture of Kelley Pickler on it. This way they get to see the hot chick in the car before they pass you............if you let them.
