I'm fairly certain the Flame Spoke wheels were only available as part of the Checkmate Edition Package.

PelicanParts.com does have a listing for them, though (for $960 a set)

You could ask your MA if there's any chance of paying a surcharge to have the FS wheels added to the Sports Package (kind of like the Web Spokes), but I wouldn't hold out much hope - I'll bet they're not supposed to make the wheels available separately from the rest of the Checkmate package.

According to the configurator, you need to add the Flame Spokes and then make your own Sports Package, (Xenons, Bonnet Stripes, and DSC)

Price is as follows:

Flame Spoke Wheels - $600
DSC - $500
Bonnet Stripes $100
Xenons - $500

Total $1700
Sports Pkg is $1400

Difference $300

Make sure you include LSD and Sports Supsension if you're the sporting type. Also, if you think you don't need the DSC, dump it in favor of ASC and you'd save $500.

yeah that was the only way i was alble to put all the opions from the sports package and have the flame spoke rims. id like to have dsc as i live in RI and the winters can get bad sometimes so it would be nice to have. this is of course assuming you can shut it completely off, if not i would just stick with the asc.

i am getting LSD its a must have for me but my MA told me that the sports supsension isnt worth the price. is it really worth it though and does it lower your car any??



thanks again

does not lower the car, but changes the springs, shocks and swaybars and bumpstops.

If you want to knwo for sure ask your service department to print the parts lists for JCW, SS, and stock on MCS.

thanks for the info, i was playing around with the configurator and for another $150 i could get the web-spoke rims over the flame spokes so i think im gonna do that instead. also just read up a bit on the sports supension and i think i will pass on it.

does anyone have any pics of a dark silver mcs with the web spokes?

thanks again

i was wondering, do you think if i asked them for the flame spokes they would replace the crown spokes with the flame spokes at no charge or the sports package? after all they are both the same price
