Default New wheels

Well, my HRE 20" wheels have arrived. They are "Brushed Titanium." I'll have to get some better pics later. These are some from my iPhone. A few with the 19" Orbits are included. I thought easier with the Flickr Album.

Nice looking wheels!


What size is the rear? not sure if it's the angle of the pic or the wheel gap, but it looks tiny.

Oh, I meant to post the weights of wheels:
19" Orbits with tires: front 55 lbs, rear 60 lbs
20" HRE P47SC with tires: front 45 lbs, rear 50 lbs.

So, saves 10 lbs per corner.

I hate to dislike and tell it, but to me they do not fit well with the nature of Jag, this FT especially. Something does not match, my opinion of course.

Okay, what is FT? I respect your opinion, but not sure what that means.

once the car is lowered it will look 100x better. the wheel profile makes the wheels appear smaller than they are at that ride height.

painting the calipers red will help give some visual separation as well.

I've ordered some springs from Stuart at VAP. You are correct; that will make it look much better. Is there a way to paint the calipers with them in place? Had that thought as well...
