Are there any wheels available yet for the Jaguar XF Supercharged? Or do we just go with a custom 3 Piece wheel? What is the most lip I can get in the rear?

Finally found some wheels for my car. Please let me know what you guys think. I want to do the same style of the wheel but maybe with a brushed and some black in it to make it really pop. Also what do you guys think about 22's? Too big? Not worth the loss in performance? Not worth the price v. 20's? I found a company named wheelsnext that sells the rims with tires for $5600 in 20" and about $6000 for 22"...

Here is the link of the wheel how I want it...

Here are the pics of the car with the wheels that I found in 20"... Need opinions its a big decision!!!

Hey torque, nothing against those wheels, they are very nice...but just doesn't seem to fit the SC Jag in my humble opinion. They look more like a touring rim, if there is such a thing. I think you need to find something more aggressive... says 'speed' instead of 'cruiser'. I have always been a fan of the 5 or 7 spoke designs instead of these multi-skinny types.

Maybe you can wait until Jag has the 20" Selena wheel. I hear they couldn't manufacture them in time for the XF release, but it may be soon. They are a nice wheel IMO.

Will those other wheels clear my brakes? The reason I'm looking at the AM Forged Nuovo's is because they are custom made to clear my brake and give me as much lip as possible. Are those the five spokes you are talking about? Im just a big fan of the deep dish look...

I suppose if you are going for the deep-dish (making me hungry here) look, then you will have less options, obviously. The spokes will have to 'curve' inward to clear your brakes and still maintain the deep look.

I like these too... but don't know if they fit or not. These were pulled off of the 07 XK8 fitment.

It all depends on my bolt pattern if that wheel is available for me or not, cause the jaguar I was told is 5x108 which is an odd fitment. They would probably have to custom order and it would like like 6-8 weeks. That Tork Icon is actually one of the wheels that I was also looking at, they looked great on a BMW 6-Series...let me know what you think?

Definately like the Tork better than the first thin-spoke wheels. I agree with mja ^, first ones were too busy. Also, unless the car is black, I think the grey/aluminum finish will match up better than the black/aluminum ones for all exterior colors. drop back by when you have decided on something. Would love to see what you end up with. till then --

Hey Torquefan1222,

What color is your FX S/C? IMO, the picture of the Jag just has too much silver between the car and the busy rims. If you did black, would it be the spokes or the rim itself? Be curious to see what you decide on - I''ve been looking for rims myself. My FX S/S is black on black so I''m looking to finish blacking it out with black rims (maybe some chrome around the rim).

Good Luck,

Tommie
