My front right rim is cracked, and the rear left isn't in great shape, so I want to start fresh with a full new set. I've never bought wheels before, and am having a really hard time actually finding 20" wheels with 9" front/10.5" rear widths. So far, looking on tirerack, TSR, element, discount tire, even Costco, I've only found 1 or 2 options. Fitmentindustries seems to have more of a selection, but they start at ~$1000 per wheel for ugly ones, which maybe is normal but not what I was hoping. I've also looked at refurbished options, but I'd rather go new if I can, since I don't love the idea of trusting a used rim from Ebay.

If someone could recommend other resources, or things to keep in mind for a first time buyer, I'd really appreciate it - it's been disheartening so far, and I feel pretty lost on what to do to get it running again.

 

Hi @BarneyChampaign I just swapped out wheels on my '16 convertible and have the original 20" factory wheels available. Below is a photo with the original wheels, they are in pristine condition. Please DM me if you are interested. They would ship out of the Seattle area.

You can custom order a set of VS Forged wheels to your exact specifications for your F-Type: VS Forged Wheels. During their Black Friday sale, I purchased a set of 20x9" (+37) and 20x11" (+32) VF01s in Brushed Titanium for $2,300 delivered.

This thread has great information regarding wheel sizes and offsets: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/f...wheels-209275/

Good luck with your search.

 

I also have a set of the OEM wheels with carbon inserts, they came with the car but I have Vossen HF-5s for summer. They could probably use a touch up if you`re OCD about rash, i was planning to have them resurfaced.

I'm in toronto, canada so just drop me a line if you would be interested.

Otherwise I would recommend the Vossens. I'm running 265 fronts and 305 in the rear.

 

If you want new wheels, go right ahead. If you're weighing your options, take a look at repairing and refinishing your OEM wheels. I got one crack repaired, two bent edges repaired, and all four trued, refinished, and powdercoated for $800.

Also, whatever you do, before you put tires on the wheels, consider giving them a good ceramic coating or two to make it easier to keep them clean later.

 

I’m a Vossen guy too. They were great to deal with. Not sure what I’m going to do with the factory tires and rims. Mine are the 20” style. 1041’s.

 

You're in Grimsby, ON?

I wouldn't mind a set of those for my winter wheels for next season setup...maybe we can talk about a trade or something?

 

There is also BC Forged. I went with them instead of VS purely for styling reasons. For individual stock replacements you could check ebay.

 

I would have the existing ones repaired. AWR.
You can also look for used ones: Car-Part.com If you need to run an extra wheel while one is getting repaired.
I sourced an entire set for the XE locally from the breakers yard while AWR repaired my existing then I had them clean up the extra set.
I sourced a summer set of tech grey Gyrodynes for the F Type via eBay. All from UK sellers. Took most of the winter but reasonably painless.

The OP likely won’t be able to PM until he makes a few more posts.

 

Thanks for the heads up - I never think about looking at post count - there is most likely a good reason for the requirements.
