Default Help needed to identify wheels for the F-Type

Hello,

I have been trying over this side of the pond to identify the wheel as seen on the F-Type Coupé. They look a bit larger than 20'' to me also.
Any ideas would be appreciated, Thanks.

Tel, that's the CX-16 concept car that previewed the coupe. I don't know if the wheels on the CX-16 made it onto the production car, but those aren't a million miles away from the gyrodyne wheels

Probably the closest to that style are the 20" Gyrodynes in silver. That's what's on my car.

Here's bigger picture of the silver Gyrodynes.

Look like a cross between the gyrodynes and the blade wheels. In another pic I could see the tire size was 21"

Thanks for the big picture. I think they a subtle mix between Cyclones albeit polished, with Blade CF fittings. The standard Gyrodynes 'spokes' look a little too 'curvey' to me, whereas these are straight like the Cyclones? The plot thickens :-)

Notice though, that there are, where the normal wheel nuts would be, webbed and they are of course secured with one QR Nut.

Try as I might, I cannot find the name or manufacturer though and I want to see my stocking bulging with these babies under the Christmas tree!

That's an awfully big retaining clip on the brake pad/calliper and grooved disks also!

they might have been 'one offs' for the prototype/concept? Milled from solid aluminum.

Oh well, not something I can get off the shelf of 'Wheels R us'!

Anyone give me a price of a cubic metre of Ally?!!! Should be enough for 4 wheels!

Seen so many white coupes but this is one of the first white verts. The non-black gyrodynes look great with white.

Thanks. I thought it was a nice upgrade to the Velas that originally came on the car. I was very happy to find a 2nd-hand set of Gyrodynes mounted with the original P-Zeros and TPMS sensors ready to bolt on for $3K. They only had a few hundred miles on them.
