Yess buuut they don't have too many wheels for the Jag and in PS I can change other things, like window tint, trim color, etc.

It's been a while since I thought of those!



How about fitting an F with traditional WIRE WHEELS?

Can you try lowering the body 1.5 inches? That's quite a gap.

Had wire wheels on an '87 xj6 years ago and they looked incredible but they are a BITCH to clean! I am not so sure it works on the f.

Why? Because the photo-shopped picture shows DRUM brakes?

Maybe too busy? The lines of the f are so clean that it just seems to look better with something a bit less complex. What do I know, though?

Plus, I can't imagine [unless you upgrade the pads] what a nightmare cleaning them would be. I just start my car and I have to clean my wheels again! :0

That was the case with my 2018 model as well. Brake dust was insane. Not so with my 2022 however, but I don't know what changed. I can go several days without a noticeable accumulation.

I always thought a modern version of the silver slotted wheels with the spinners that was used on the lightweight E Type would look good on an F Type, a nod to the past.

Personally I stay away from the aftermarket rims for a few reasons.
I find the are lighter and weaker and more prone to warping, bending and cracking etc.
What I do like are other mags from Jaguars, moved over to what I would own. Even spend $ to
refurbish them. Any OE mags are solid.
Then there is the architecture or the car. Any choice other than OE, I fell is wrong for the car.
The old stand by for me would be, fake wire wheels. I could not argue with that!
