Default Looking for wheels, what do y'all think?

2005 STR its Burgandy

18X8.0 BLACK CHROME WHEELS RIM 5X108 LINCOLN LS JAGUAR S TYPE XJ XJ8 XJR | eBay

If you have suggestions let me know, I actually really want some OK priced 19's if anyone knows where I can get them either in this style or in like a 5 spoke style like one of the members with the silver STR on here. Thanks!

Not bad, but if they are that cheap how long will the chrome last??

First need to be sure they fit/clear the calipers...Understand your handling will be negatively affected along with your off the line traction, yet due to the decrease in unsprung weight you'll gain more "pull" when hitting WOT from a roll...

You could reuse the front tires, but will need new rear ones...

There is a seller on ebay who sells Jag Senta clone chrome 20s, staggered with the correct size widths/offsets mounted with tires, shipped for $2250...There is also the make an offer option, perhaps they can be had for $2000...That is a really good price on a staggered chrome 20s that will definitely fit the STR...Guessing 19s will cost the same...

Really like the look of those rims, but would be concerned about the quality based on the price. Also....will be giving up 1.5" width on the back which give the STR a nice stance.

This is sort like asking guys if you should date this girl but ... in this case the wheels are the wrong width on the rear. So no.

To me these rims look like a bar closing time selection ... But that's just me.
