It's a bran new package, that only comes in white.

I would have to say, that the 16 inch wheels are for better handling.......

Other than that, it sounds sweet to me....

Not to mention the competition handling package. The 16s will be lighter then the 17s that comes on the non-ACR models. It should be amazing in the corners....right from the factory.

To me the 16" rims are hideous. I believe their BBS, or BBS styled rims. You won't find Silver after 2005 1/2 models. They ditched the silver for the Stone White. It also comes in Orange Blast, as I've seen an ACR in the OB color.

I don't like the looks of the ACR personally. But I think its great that they beefed up the suspension and finally put some more tire on the road (instead of the stock 205) to grip with. They should have come with 225s stock, the hold on the pavement is much better than with my stock 205s. I also like that they made the rim a 16x7 instead of a 17x6. I bumped up to an 18x8 just because a 6" rim is far too narrow for my likings.

The spare tire was always non-matching. I think mines like a 135 or something insane like that. I don't even carry it in the car. But if you like white or orange blast, its for you.

Here's some pictures of the ACR's. Decide for yourself if you like the wheels or not. But other than that the suspension/tire upgrades kick ***.

i believe the ACR edition comes with the Mopar stage 3 coilovers as the suspension. You can purchase it at modernperformance.com for $1349.99

<< the ACR badges look like $hit and i do not like how the 16' BBS's look-I think it would look a lot better if they were at least 17'>>

Just my $.02...

I agree, the ACR badges look like a$$, but I have always loved the BBS wheels, especially the LeMans style, but they should be 17 X 7 and not 16 X 7.

Yep, that's why they need those wheels in 17's and not the 16's it does get.
