My S Type R

Great looking car & those wheels realy do set it off just like they do on mine!

Thanks cvlewmaster....The purchase of the Barcelonas was one of the first things on my wanted list and I agree they really complete the car.

What a beauty.....gotta get myself some of those wheels, they are stunning!!

Looks fabulous!

Great car!

Does your sat nav have the phone built in or is it bluetooth?

Thanks Simon.

My phone is connected via Bluetooth Simon. I thought my iPhone wouldn't connect...how wrong I was....the people Ive spoken to via the system have said how clear it is and they didn't know I was driving....thumbs up then

I put barcelona's on my silver S Type, I thought they really changed the look of the car, many people have commented how much better it looks with them compared to the 16" alloys it came with.

Hi;

I have a 2006 str and thinking of replacing my existing Vulcan's with the 19in Barca's. Can you tell me the cost of wheels and tyres, thx Gos

I got mine of eBay. My rears wheels were used and got the pair for £300, the fronts were brand new and got the pair for £220. Dealer quote for one wheel was close to £500!!!
I got the rears refurbished for £120 for both wheels.
The rears were difficult to source, but keep looking and you'll find them

Only paid £450 for my set of 4 brand new!

Was that for 4off 8J's?

Yep were still in original boxes & not a mark on them!
SB Wheels Birmingham, not sure if Steve has any left, but worth getting in touch & seeing if he can do someting for you!

I already have a set of Barcelona's thanks. The rears on an STR are 9.5J's, hence the reason I paid a bit more than you as the rears are more expensive.

I'm sure Goshawk will be interested though....in the fronts anyway.

Does that mean you have the old Vulcans spare? I might be interested....

BTW your name is familiar.... Not an ex-Saab owner are you?

I shall be fitting a set of winter tyres to my Vulcans so I can get around in the winter, so Im afraid their not for sale...just yet.

I've never owned Saab....Ex BMW me....I've corrected the error of my ways.

Cheers latebreaker, what size type did you fit and how much would i be looking to spend?

Gos,
The fronts are 8J x 19 and the rears are 9.5J x 19.

I did mention on a previous post of mine that I spent just over £500 for a set of wheels. eBay was my best friend.
