Default My S-type slammed on 20" staggered wheels

It is lowered but I jacked it up to see what it will look like slammed on the coil overs. Give me your feed back. I know half of you will say, "Why to an S-type?". My answer is why not. So save it.

Thumbs up

From what I can see in your pic that looks outstanding! And I'm usually not one for wheels that are too big for the body (I feel 19s are max on an S-Type) but damn your car looks sexy! I used to have a burgandy CLK430 with black Brabus wheels, burgandy cars with black or bronze wheels are too cool for school. Looks great!

I was thinking about getting bronze for the wheels but decided to get my new brembo's painted bronze with flat black brembo on them.

You know that we will be all over you like a rash

I agree with Michael.

Now that you've figured out how to post pics, we need a whole shed load.

Suspect that the above shot was just a teaser. LOL

Loving the colour, and what look like tasteful/classy mods.

Picture her up, please.

I have a guy that is prototyping the coilovers. I will soon be selling them if anyone wants to get togeather a group buy. They will be about $2,000 with fully adjustable ride height, dampening, and camber plates.

If your interested email me. I guess now is good enough time to start building a group buy list.

The wheels are the new two piece welded Giovanna's and are there light weight line. the rears weighed in at 29lbs.

The front wheels are 20x8.5" front with 225/35/20 and 20x10.5" with stretched 245/35/20 rear.

I'm actually sponsored for the wheels some I'm running two different styles. Pics coming soon. My camera got stolen after i took that pic. The wheels do come in bronz if someone is interested.

I didn't think that K-Sport made coilovers for the S-type. If you want K-Sport I know a guy and might be able to hook it up for a little less. The only other coilovers that I know of for the S-types are KW verrient-3 which are more than 3k.

Ah you got me. It is KW not K-Sport. Sorry!

One last question for you, are you rolled or stretched at all in the back?

I rolled and stretched to get them to clear with them being lowered. Are you interested in getting this set up?

Will the wheels mount on the STR (i.e., clear the big brakes)? Also, how much are the wheels????????

And are they available in 19"?

Also, are they affordable cast or are they $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ forged aluminum wheels?

In the pic we are measuring for the new coilovers. I'm currently on Mina Gallery springs and this is how it sits. I will take better pics when the car is clean and in a better setting.
