LOL and that''s EXACTLY why I don''t want 20s, the largest I will go is 19s. Not just for the comfort, but I don''t like the whole DUBBED down idea on a Jag anyway. If I would have gotten 18''s or 19''s stock I''d have kept them. I just want something a little larger than what I have now, and with a nice luxury look to it.

If I had X , 20''s would be the largest that I could go for . I like 18s wheels too .My first and most paramount concern is they should be polished and mirror like chrome

Those wheels are knock offs of a Carlsson design.
Even though they say modular, look at the construction.
They are a cast 1-piece wheel.
This type is the most likely to bend and break in an impact (such as with a pothole or curb).
If your plan on upgrading wheels, go with a reputable company, such as BBS, HRE, MHT, Cache, GFG, or Rays Engineering.
I work in the wheel industry as a designer, and I have never heard of "modular" as a brand name, except for Modular society, which these aren''t.
Chances are these are just cheap chinese castings with no quality control.
I''m running a set of Forged 20" Cache Corsicas, and the difference in quality between them and a lot of knockoffs I see is astounding.

If you want any rim photoshopped let me know but you''ll have to take a pic of your car...preferably about 20 feet back or more with a side on shot. Other than that find me a pic of the rim you want and go from there. I wouldn''t do those wheels as they would a) suck to clean and 2) (IMO) don''t look as good as they do when they are by themselves (not mounted on the car.)
Check out tirerack.com for rims they have a bit of everything. They have decent prices on all sorts of rims with extensive reviews on the tire of your choice. The rims on ebay are cheap for a reason, I find it hard for a company to sell rims shipped for under 1100 bucks while making a profit! There has to be a reason. 18''s are pretty rough on my x compared to the 17''s I had. Although my x is sport so it''s a litte lower. Either way I''d go up to 19''s at most but keep in mind the price difference in tires for 18 vs. 19 or 19 vs. 20 is quite a hike.

Coming from a Nissan 240 SX and a Lexus SC400- sports cars that have a little more leeway as to the strange things you can do with them- I''ve always gone for unique looks. I was never opposed to the good old JDM theory of putting gold wheels on the right cars- but only if you know how to do it with style.
) and the trip I''m making out of the country next spring. If I find the right deal though I want 18''s- the highest I''ll consider is 19''s.
Why are you selling the X?
