I'd do spacers (at least on the rear) and then just enjoy the car.

Jithu9684, are those wheels the factory forged Style 5062 ? I like the looks of those and have been playing around on the Jaguar Build Your New F Type website. They are an expensive option at $5200 and I have read that the Jaguar factory forged wheels aren't that light, which is the whole purpose of going with a forged alloy wheel rather than one of the regular alloy wheels. The alloy wheels are about 30% less in cost.

For less than $3000 you can order an aftermarket set of real forged wheels that are each 10lbs lighter than the OEM forged wheels (e.g. VS Forged).

Yes, those are the wheels. I can't really tell about the lightness factor but I do like how they look. The carbon gives it a different look than most standard wheels. I googled it and jaguar seems to have it listed under their accessories page for $1875 for the front? https://accessories.jaguar.com/us/en...r-weave-front/
