They glow ice blue, same as the illuminated cup holders. Will post a pic of the cup holdrs in a sec...

The difference is that I do not find the cupholders to light up nearly as well as they make it seem in that picture.

If you got the R/T package, those are your wheels.

Now if you got the Chrome pack, its those but shiny of course, but I compared thse to the Chrome ones, and in myopinion, these look much better with the rest of the car.

But no, no line down the center, that is the SXT version.

So I hope that is what you wanted to hear!

Congrats on picking up a Caliber R/T VulnoX!

ORIGINAL: VulnoX

That is partially my fault, partially Chryslers. They took forever getting out brochures, every dealer I contacted from Michigan to Indiana said they did not have brochures, even after they had gotten their first Caliber's, which is unbelievable. By the time I got info on the radios and that they had already built my car.
Those dealers lie through their teeth! I have never been able to get a brochure from the idiots... I couldn't even get Neon brochures... and I figured if they couldn't get me a simple little brochure then what will happen when other services costing major money are needed?

I asked for a Caliber brochure when I went to look at them for the first time and got the typical dumb-***-Dodge-dealer responce (Chrysler dealers do the same stupid thing), "we don't have any". But I happened to see some and I told the guy so! So then he went and found me one (reluctantly).

I still can't figure out why Chrysler and Dodge are so **** about their brochures. I can walk into anyother dealer (and I do) and pick up any and all the brochures I want.

Yeah I know they were not just lieing to me, because I walked into four seperate dealerships. Crestwood Dodge, Mike Anderson Dodge, and two I cannot think of the name of, but one was in Indiana and another was on Telegraph rd. in Michigan.

They all said they did not have them, just those little picture brochure things they have had out since the auto-show, but it just tries to sell some stuff on the Caliber, it does not show you vehicle outfitting like the actual Vehicle Brochure, which did not show up until three weeks ago or so.

If you get an SXT, I bellieve you need to get package 24E in order to get 17" Aluminum wheels. Atleast I haven't seen any other way to get them. Otherwise you get 17" steel rims with wheel covers (which don't look that bad). Personally, I would get Package 24E for not only the Aluminum wheels, but also the interior sport appearance group (2 tone seats/dash insert) and fog lamps.

yeah, i got the 24E package and i'm not that keen on the rim design... of course, i'll have to make a final judgement call when i do see them. i guess i'm just so used to looking at the r/t pics floating around on the the interweb, that i just got used to them... i'll keep my judgements as reserved as possible until my car comes to me and my open arms.
