I’m looking to buy new rims for my 2014 F-Type V8 S but I don’t know what brands or specs I should be looking for. I specifically want glossy black rims so if anyone could help me in my search that’d be much appreciated.

 

Are your OEM wheels chrome or polished, they are my favorite design.

Yours look awesome with your car. But if you are keen to change I would suggest you look at forged or flow forged per the link above, as they are much lighter and that ride and handling improvement is very noticeable even to me as a relative novice. I got Vorsteiner wheels (Vff-103) and couldnt be happier, mine came in graphite which is a satin black, but I think gloss black is an option.

 

they are chrome when they don’t have tons of brake dust on them haha.

 

Stock:
Front
20" diameter, 9" wide, 5x108 bolt pattern, 63.4mm bore, 55mm offset
Tire: 255/35 r20
Rear
20" diameter, 10.5" wide, 5x108 bolt pattern, 63.4mm bore 38mm offset
Tire: 295/30 r20

Many aftermarket front wheels will be sold in an 8.5 width which pulls the rim in by a quarter inch, so subtracting 6mm gives an equivalent offset of 49mm. Since the OEM rims are a bit tucked-in, 8.5 x 42mm will fit near flush without poke. You will somtimes see a 35mm offset recommended, but that will poke by ~4mm. Some like that look, but I hate it.

The rears are pretty easy to find 10.5" rims, so target a 28mm offset to push the rims out 10mm to flush.

Also remember that depending on the rear wheel design in particular, settling on a wheel with a higher offset and then adding a spacer to compensate is not equivalent, because you will lose the deep dish look of the spokes.

For tires, I recommend no wider than 255mm up front, on the rears 305mm looks more aggressive and fits the wheel well better.

For summer only traction and careful wet performance, Toyo R888Rs will cope best with your RWD power. They are available in a 315 rear which will fit 10.5" rims aggressively.

For great wet traction but unmanageable full throttle dry rear wheel spin, Michilen 4S in 305mm rear will look great. Thats what I'm running on my tuned V8 S but I regret not splurging for R888Rs since I live in the south and enjoy an occasional trip to the drag strip.
