Just got my Maelstrom wheels!!
Just received my set of 4 x SVR Maelstrom rims direct from Jaguar. I was so excited to get them installed but it appears there are some defects on the front 2 wheels, and these are brand new. I am not even sure what caused these aberration since the rim feels completely smooth to the touch.

I read somewhere that the SVR wheels were Forged, but there is a lot of misinformation out there with manufacturers calling their wheels constructed with a new "Free Flow" casting process forged wheels. They are definately lighter than the gyrodynes so perhaps they are forged. ??? They are definately pretty too!

I'm showing my ignorance, and 'Newbie' status, as I am in the position of deciding between F-type, and C-7 GS. Narrowed from MB, 911, and these. I am leaning toward the F, and these wheels look really nice, but the finish problems do not. Were they ordered with the original build, or as a later accessory?
I hope you are not having problems with your dealer replacing the bad ones. I have had good and horrible experiences with Fla. auto dealers. Have 3 Jag. dealers to consider here. That will be one deciding factor for me.

The problem with the finish was a fluke and should not have happened or passed inspection. Like I said my two rear wheel which came from a different jaguar warehouse are perfect. The two front wheels which came from a different facility had this damaged. They are sending me out replacement front wheels this week. The wheels are not orderable unless you own an SVR or know someone who does. You'll need the VIN of an SVR and the part numbers to be approved to order these.

New to this form and i have a question about these wheels. Will they fit any F-type without ceramic breaks? The offset on my v6s awd rearwheels are 27mm (19x9.5) and these are 54 (20x11). I guess the offset and wider wheel will "place" them closer to the suspension

I do not have an SVR, but yes you do need an SVR vin to be able to order these. My current wheels are the beautiful Gyrodynes with 1200 miles on them. I will be selling those with the OEM P-Zeros, and selling the front wheels without the tires as I moved them over to the Maelstroms, I decided to get the 305/30/20 Michelin PSS in the rear. Once the P-zeros in the front die, ill move them over to the MPSS as well.
