Any 3 piece wheel guy will be able to set you up. Coventry is about the only cast wheel I've seen

Any good wheel company can make you some to your specs. The STR will be the only car for a long long time I haven't put wheels on ASAP. I am painting the Zeus wheels black or dark Gray until I get tired of and then maybe look at some 360 forged or AV1's for it.

I think the Mayas like I ran on my C55 would nice on the STR

Yea my wheels are stock Vulcans just chromes so they are a standard Jaguar wheel. Jag79 though does have some aftermarket though so he may know some stuff.

I have the zeus wheels painted in a satin graphite, Which I think really set my STR off seeing that main color is platinum, tomorrow it goes in for a mild window tint. Then it will be ready to post pictures, plus few few pics of the other cars. I am getting the 85 BMW M6 ready for a car show fathers day, last year I did really good took first place in the German two door sport coupes, which pissed a lot of Porsche people off. Oh well! My son is thinking of taking the STR to the show as well.

I also have a platinum STR and I am getting close to painting my wheels. Would like to see pics of your satin graphite. Sounds great.

I love the graphite wheels, especially on silver/platinum cars. I have a set of 19" XKR rims in graphite/gunmetal with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus...fill the wheel well and I get compliments on them all of the time...

I feel the same way. I just haven't found anything that looks as good on this car as the chromed Zeus wheels.

The 42-50mm offset is fine if you're going w non-staggered wheels. If you're going w a 9.5 wide rear wheel make sure you go with at least 50-55mm offset or you'll have tire to fender interference. Not too many companies make 55mm offset wheels which limits our wheel choices...
