Thanks okStypeR! I liked the stock Zeus wheels as well until I saw the Forgestar wheels on Underpressure's car.

I am second owner on this 2004 str.. I bought it completely original, I added my touch to it with some factory upgrades, full custom exhaust, h&r full coilovers, tinted windows, new badges, 20" super v8 wheels, powder coated accents, tinted lights and a few other things, lots of new things happening in the next month or two...enjoy!!

The 20" XJ wheels look great on the STR, and the wrapped roof suits the look you've got going,
Only thing I would change, is those green calipers... definitely need to paint them a normal color, and apply a factory jaguar decal back on too,
Otherwise, nice to see you on the forums, some of us jag guys in the area meet up regularly in woodbridge for the la paloma meets throughout the summer, we should link up, let us know what you have planned for the jag too!

They're not too hard to come by, they're pretty sharp looking wheels, the only downside being, like all XJ wheels, they're not staggered. A pretty modest 20x8" all around, means those aggresive 275 wide rear steam rollers all us STR guys are used to won't work...
