New alloys
 
Got a nice set of XF Venus Cromodora alloys today. What do you guys think of them? https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.jag...3cf5fb698.jpeghttps://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.jag...1acfc47dc.jpeg

I was needing tires really bad and was thinking about swapping my stock 17" wheels for 19" at the same time. My wife convinced me that the stock wheels look good already and that a 70" TV costs about the same as the wheels. The TV wins this time. Maybe next time my tires start looking bad. What size are your wheels?

Haha, reminds me of years and years ago, was early into shacking up with Joyce. I was into snowmobiling big time and had a very nice sled. One trip I was up in the U.P. . A bunch of guys on a trip. We were at a restaurant eating dinner, my sled was stolen, 32nd of that weekend according to the the sheriff.

Anyways came home, received insurance check. Woke up the next Saturday morning. I was getting ready, Joyce asked me where I was to. I replied, I came into this relationship with a sled and I am going to purchase a new one. After a very quick conversation we ended up going to the furniture store to purchase a new couch, love seat recliner set.

That was the last snowmobile I had :(!

The only guy who never caved in was born rich, lived single, and had no relatives. :icon_headbang:

Those wheels look great and will be much easier to keep clean than the 10 spoke style.

Very nice wheels, nice car, enjoy.

The wheels look great John and I like the red wheel centres too.
They look much easier to keep clean.

I did the same thing a couple of years ago. My original 18" Vulcans were beat (they had been chromed and it was flaking off badly) so I purchased a set of 18" XF wheels with tires.

Nice

it looks like post 2006 to me , as it has the chrome bar on the trunk/boot .
2nd facelift front and rear bumpers and tail lights .
the leaper was an option on all s types , mine didn't have one ether ,
first thing i changed on mine was add the leaper .
