Nobody's hatin, I would guess that most of the people here could easily afford to put those rims on their cars if they really wanted to. If you're going to crunk out the car why did you bother buying the R in the first place? Running big heavy rims like that defeats the purpose of having an R performance model imo. The R is a really unique car and should be treated with a little more respect. But hey it's your car after all, but don't expect to post up pics like that and not have some people take issues with it.
So dont worry guys right now if I do consider spinners I will know that I will need light weight ones 
For now the Barcelona's will stay on

Please if you do 20's do some FICSK, HRE,LOWNHART, something lightweight, the car doesnt deserve heavy wheels what WILL tear up the drivetrain.
heavy 20"+ wheels belong on SUV's not performance oriented cars.
You will NEVER see a 911 or a Ferrari or a Lambo on 20's and if you do I will bet my life they weigh less then your head and require a double mortgage.
I hope you change your mind once you get behind the wheel and put the pedal down but please do that safely the STR doesnt hesistate to eat a small child when built correctly.

Welcome....
you know whats funny.. most of us in the Forum loved the barcelonas...
my STR didn't come with Jaguar Factory rims... (it come with chrome wheels) So it took me a while to track a nice set of Barcelonas, and its so sad your letting your go...
Well you on the other hand.. you might have someone in the forum willing to trade for it.
take care.

I dont like the barcelonas. They are way too conservative for my taste. I'm going to get a baller set of Asanti AF162 rims after I pay uncle sam his 30 grand. Maybe in the summer

You both get to that really long light at the same time and you can just lean out the door (as long as it's a Lambo door) with a nice clean plate plus block of Parmigiano-Reggiano then you press it against that hygienically clean spinner. Presto you've got a months worth of pasta toppings!
Buon appetito!

Those colors is what I almost bought but ended up with the green instead. A classy combo.

Very nice color combo! Good deal too IMHO. Welcome to the STR crew!
I think after a while you'll come to love the look of the car with the OEM wheels as-is....you can kind of stay under the radar a bit too, the STR is a bit of a stoplight "sleeper".... Of course your choice on how you style your car.

A Jag man is different.
jaguar007, a Jag "man" is different. His car is different than the "boys" in the hood...a man drives a gentlemans car. In other words jaguar007...you'll garner then command greater respect by setting yourself separate and aside from the "others", and maintenance of this poise elevates you to the MAN! Your 16 year old brother will also notice and emulate the mature and classy attributes of his older "MAN" bro. There were only 2006 125 STR's produced. You have a rare semi-exotic automobile jaguar007! Your forum buddies discuss the present and future value of the STR. Some of us speculate there may be a strong market in the future for her. If you think pickin her up for $14700 was cool and BLING her bro...I wouldn't mind buying her from ya for $4700 in a couple of years? Please, let her "be" bro.

LOL! phaelax! I was gunna write that! Now everybody just sit back and shut up. I'm gunna take care of this. jaguar007...ya better listen, and ya better listen good...If you so much as touch those wheels, install flourecent lighting under that STR's belly, screw on gangsta bumper strips to her rear bumper to drag on the ground, hang a huge pair of fuzzy dice from her mirror, fill her trunk with a denture shakin boom box...we'll personally road trip to Mississipa to...Congratulate ya on yer 06 STR. Don't bling her...pretty please. The STR is a semi-exotic British road machine. Mod her under the hood, but please don't....
I agree with everything else you've said though. No neons, dubs, spinners or anything of the sort. It would be such a shame to lose the BBS Barcelonas for some ghettotastic rims...
Take care,
George

Congrats Jaguar007 on your STR! Welcome to the family of STR's. Whatever you do to your STR mods, spinners or whatever its your ride and do as you wish. We will support you either way. LOlz...even if you go with spinners but in my opinion I say go with 20" Asanti's. Anyhow take it easy and stay safe, sounds like you live in a rough area, by any chance do you carry a licensed firearm with you all the time?

YOu can't be roaming around here in a Jag in the deep south without being armed, especially if you have the KKK running free here

Hey there again,
The reason i asked in my earlier reply if you bought your car in San Jose, Calif. is because your attached thumbnails pics are from San Jose British Motors. The pictured car is in their Select Edition section for a little over 28K.
