I finally had my new set of wheels and tires installed last weekend. They are three piece custom wheels from COR Wheels (http://www.corwheels.com/). They gave me a custom offset so that they would sit flush with the body of the car. The wheels are 19x8.5 up front and 19x10 at the rear. They were painted the color of the car along the inside of the spokes and along the back.

 

Those rims look sweet.... nice [sm=groupwave.gif]

 

Gorggeous!!!!! I'll be sure to rob you the next time I come down for a meet! Have you sold the stock STR wheels yet? If you haven't I think I know someone interested in them.

 

I haven't had a chance to put them in the classified section yet. Let me know if the person is interested. I was looking at around $750 with tires.

 

Haha shouldn't be too hard seeing as I'm the person considering them. I want to take a step up from stock without going all out. Would prefer something with a little lip action, but I'm considering STR wheels as my backup plan since they're a little more affordable (bank hates me right now with the NAV unit I'm installing right now[:-]).

 

No problem. Just let me know.

 

Okay, I'll keep you posted. I'm still in AL doing research for the summer (if they want to call me sitting on Jaguar Forums working [8D]), but I should be getting paid on the 15th, so hopefully I'll have come to a final decision by then. I've been looking at wheels for a while now and the only thing shy of $4000+ custom made wheels I liked was the STR wheels LOL.

 

hey man those are looking sharp! they really finish off all the other little details on it...im looking forward to seeing it at the meet!

 

I wish I could be there for the meet! I'd take it home with me!!!

 

damn that car looks awesome i love how there is a 10 inch wide rim on the back that looks hot

 

What meeting?where?

 

Bro check out the south regional forum. I believe it states the particulars under.... JULY 26TH ORLANDO MEET!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Nothing ever happens in midwest

 

Sorry to break the news to you this way bro but, the coolest people are in the panhandle.

 

No worries!! I'm not from this country anyway...I just landed..almost 4 years ago

 

Ah where ya coming from? Welcome to the states!

 

is this completely stock suspension?

 

I'm answering for 03STR but if I remember correctly it's not but I believe he said he had Mina Gallery springs on it if I'm not mistaken.

 

I'm coming from Romania,Europe. It's good to be here

 

M4rc3l,
Sounds cool- I always wanted to stay out of the country for a year or two, but I'd need to actually have a decent job for that! Maybe a few years after I get my doctorate.

Would it be easier for you if I drove down and picked the wheels up, or if I just picked them up from you at the meet (not sure if you want to tote them around in the trunk/backseat). If you don't mind doing it, I can just pick them up from you at the meet since I live in the Orlando area, then go home and install and come back.
