I'm just surveying the general population to get everyone's honest, blunt assessment of the 20" Rotor Forged Alloy Wheels that recently became available.

 

The rotors?

I didn't spec my car, but it was what was available and close to what I wanted.
It came with the rotors on there.

I hated them in pics (and still do), but love them in person.
(well, I like them a lot - not sure I love them)

The silver part is basically chromed and just asking to get scuffed, so I want to get something like opticoat on there asap.

 

I like them quite a bit, but I tend to be less trend driven (e.g. i dont like murdered black or matte black) than most enthusiasts.

Because of the strong graphic lines on the rotors, they need to be carefully matched with paint. IMHO they're best with white, black (vert only), red, or lunar (coupe only). But totally subjective.

 

As a general population member, I think they look fine on the white vert, but not with the other colors. Would not be in my top three choice category.

 

"Rotor" or "Rotary" forged wheels are not forged nor are they kind of like forged. For an expensive, heavy, powerful car - you are asking for trouble if you get anything less than just: FORGED. All these other kinds of "forged" are really marketing propoganda to get you to think they are just as strong or as good. They're not.

 

Thanks for your feedback, Guys. I'm trying to get a sense of how they'd look on Stratus with Black Pack. Hard to find pics of that, anywhere, although that angled pic above gave me some insight.

 

So you're saying they're "Forgeries"???

 

Anyone else selected these wheels, yet?

 

They were my choice. I think they look great. I also had trouble finding photos of any as they just came available. The dealer didn't even know about them!

I ordered the R but found them on an S at a dealer in Tampa - see link

I like 'em on all the colors. IMO it gives the F-type more of an exotic look.

 

Agreed!

 

I love these wheels...really forged wheels, OEM which means easy to get replaced in an emergency, and super strong (JLR makes OEM wheels pass a 45mph curb hit test....). Not the lightest but for a street car, really nice. Jaguar does great wheel designs.
