Hey guys, usually I don't post pics of my car but my friends are avid photographers and they are always taking neat pictures of cars and what not. But this time, I found this picture to be amazing! Let me know what you guys think!

Thanks, I'm always on the fence with these wheels but I do like them in this shot. But yes, the color is Zircon Metallic.

Wow! Stunning shot. What kind of wheels are those? I love the polished rim and open spokes.

Thanks guys, I really like this picture myself. And also thanks for the help with the lip spoiler Jeremy.

The wheels are stern st-1's. They are very reasonably priced if you don't want to spend a ton of money on wheels.

JaggyX, thanks - I've seen the Sterns advertised on Ebay before. They're really well priced and look great from a face-on shot (like the front wheel in your picture). Very much like the Arden wheels, but the face of the Arden wheels seems "flatter". I've wondered if the Sterns stick out too much from the side profile (like the rear wheel seems to in your picture). As an owner, what do you think?

Do you have any more shots that show the wheels from an angle (e.g., front 3/4 or rear 3/4 shots)? I've always like the Sterns (both this style and their 5 spoke model), but in both cases, the side profiles have always kept me on the fence about buying them.

Here's what I meant about the Ardens. Similar spoke design, but the face of the wheel is flatter (making them look more complementary on the car). This particular car is just sex on wheels, IMO.

Really nice picture, the lighting is just right and enlightens the car color with the chrome wheels. The polished blue is my color, I love a blue Cat it just makes the car, although I like the Jaguar green too. The green reminds me of the older Jaguars, but the blues just bring out the best in the car.

Truth be told, that curvature of the spokes is the one thing I dislike about these wheels. The arden wheels look amazing! I would definitely rather have those on my car but they cost so much!

Thanks for confirming my suspicion about the curvature, Jaggyx. It's too bad - the Sterns would be a fantastic option otherwise.

I completely hear you about the cost of the Arden wheels. They look incredible on the car, but the price is insane, and impossible to justify given the value of these cars to begin with.
