Hey everyone. Soon to be STR owner.

I am about to purchase a silver '03 S-Type R to replace my current daily '96 XJ6 with 230k miles. Sold my toy which was a 300zx TT that was heavily modified, but I feel like making my fun car also my daily driver will be more satisfying. I've been lurking on these forums for awhile so it is about time I create an account.

The STR appears to be in excellent shape and drove well. What isn't good is it has "gangsta" chrome 19" wheels that are not staggered and run 235 widths all around...no thanks. So the first order of business will be finding a set of Zeus or Vulcan wheels (unless there are non-custom aftermarket wheels that fit).

Welcome to the forum treese88,

Sounds like you've done the research and know exactly what to look for with the STR.

I hope it goes to the same impressive mileage as your X300.

Enjoy the STR and the forum.

Welcome to this friendly Forum, good luck with the new wheels.
As Graham says - that's some mileage on the older girl.
