I would love to see an S-Type with a set of Dayton wire wheels...

If you can get the five spokes to be either concave in or pushed back for a lip, I'd say those.

They actually do have the wheels in concave, but it is a big difference. ~$1300 for either set above, or $6000+ for a set of concave ones. Granted the ones above are cast and the concaves are forged, but I can't justify spending that much on just wheels.

They sure are pretty though

From an OCD perspective, the ones on the left look like a b*tch to clean.

I like the ones on the Right, but agree with Vance that I like a lip. Would really have to the them on a Jag to truly pick.

I have always loved a deep lip, always have but the in thing now is no lip and concave. I am looking into these Vossen Wheels. love these in the new style rims.

Had these on my CLS and loved them. The company like many forged companies out of Miami sucked but the rims were awesome!

"Sorry the MIA has been discontinued.
We could do this easily on a set of NUE for you."

I only liked the MIA (the one on left), I think the rest of their cast wheels look too much for the VW crowd.

Based on looks, 5 spokes got my vote...Do you have weights by chance? Going to PM you an idea...

Edit: Make sure it clears the caliper as well...

It pretty much depends on design, i dont like plain 5 spokes. Maybe with a good lip and a slight concave design, but not as illustraded above. So i decided to vote for the multispoke yet nothing crazy.

I've got these for sale brand new! I have two different sets and don't need them anymore.


20x8.5" front with 35 offset and 20x10.5" with 40 offset rear. They are supper light weight 2 piece wheels. The rear weighs in at 30lbs maybe less. I weighed them in the boxes.

I put 2 of them on my S-type for a show but they were never driven on.

Email me if your interested. Collin@diamondautocouture.com

I will up date this post tomorrow with a pic of them on the car.

AND YES THEY DO FIT AN STR! I have mine lowered on the same wheel with a different finish. They don't rub.
