Thumbs up Lem-str

This is to the member considering purchasing the Conventry Hornet wheels that are made just for Jags. I installed them on my 2004 STR and it turns heads both young & old. I purchased the 19" wheels which still gave me a smooth quiet ride with an awesome look. My front (19x8.5) & rear (19x10). Conventry was honest enough to warn me that the 10's might rub, which they did. I was able to defeat this by activating the "S" button (Sport) ride next to the shifter. The stiffer ride stopped the rubbing & with the right tires it gave me awesome ride control even at high speeds. The car feels like its riding on rails. As for the 1/2" of tire that extended outside the wheelwell. I purchased some chrome wheel well trims that were just enough to cover the tire still giving the vehicle a classy but aggressive look. I hope this helps you with your decision. There's nothing worst then cheap plastic center wheels on a classy vehicle. I'll have some pic posted soon.
Thanks, Jaguar fans.
