Default Rims

I would like to replace my 18s on my 2013 xk - I keep getting differing information as to what 20s I can put on. I want to keep it original so no after market stuff - what would everyone recommend for an original look that would fit without any adjustments?

thanks

I like the 20" Kalimnos the best. Here's a diagram of the stock XK wheel types.

+1 for the Senta’s, but according to that chart, they won’t fit his 2013, only fit the 4.2L cars, due to the offset change on the 5.0L’s.

Vortex is my favorite design. They fit the 5.0L.

That chart is for UK models because it starts with model year 2006, whereas US models started in 2007. Note that it shows the Vortex fits the 4.2L but not the 5.0L. That is incorrect for US models.

The Vortex design was introduced as an exclusive wheel for the UK-only 2008 XKR-S in a solid silver painted finish. It was never made available in the US to fit the 4.2L but was available to fit the 5.0L models in a machined and black painted finish.

You can rely on this chart for the designs but not the fitment.

Stuart,

Yes, the graphic I posted is from a UK book so the model years will all be off by one for US cars. I hope my posting this did not mislead anyone into thinking that this is advice on fitment. It is just presented to show the stock wheels offered for XK's/XKR's during the production run. This way he has a visual to match with names/inch sizes to investigate further.

Cheers,

Peter

Nah, I like the Takoba's. They just look more "old school", like me.

Takobas look like something that was taken from a Ferrari.

There are (at least) 19 different wheels, you will get at least 19 opinions



Here's mine. I love the Caravelas on my white XK.

The Nevis looks from far like a 7 spoke wheel from Ford Fiesta.
Only much nicer up close.

The chart is for UK registration year. The model year is the same for all cars that come down the production line together regardless of what their country of destination is.

Imo, I’d go with 19” wheels. I have 20” Kasuga on my XJL and they are awesome but on a bigger car but 20” is tough to live with at times. I think 19” is a good size for the XK.

Really, no bad OEM choices.

Best!

I have Kalimnos, but my favorite Jaguar wheel are the Senta Wheels like several others have said (and easier to clean than the Kalimnos, which aren't too bad).
