Yes they would fit, but the wheels are not my taste. Go for something more OEM looking. Sporty but at the same time jaguar-ish. But if you like them, then thats all that matters.

yea i sort of agree with you. I really like the arubas and the proteus 18in rims, but those are quite hard to find and kind of expensive. The rims above caught my eye cause they were cheap. Do you know where i could find some arubas or proteus?

Do the Jaguar rims fit anything else or do they just fit the Jag. I want to start looking for new rims for my 02 x-type. But I haven't found anything I thought would look good on it. But I wanted to see if they fit anything else, so I could look around.

I just received an email from Jerrywheels saying that the wheels i ordered are out of stock and they refunded the amount charged. So unless you are looking for a single wheel, i dont think jerrys is a good place to buy a set of wheels, but im sure for single wheels should be ok.

That sucks. I've never actually purchased from them, but their pricing has always looked ideal.

just put 20" chromes on my gf's x-type on 225/35/20 hankook v12 tires with 8.5" rim, no rubbing at all, not even with 4 adults in the car.
roads here are fairly good, not many bad potholes so she can get away with it.

I guess it's all a matter of taste. Mike yours is maybe a little too ghetto.

I have the factory 18" sport wheels. compared with riding on the 16" winter tires with the 18 I fell everything, 20 would be like riding on rims. And I don't like the bicycle tire look. The 6 banger just doesn't have enough power to warrant a 20" performance tire so all you're getting is the look, and Jag just isn't ghetto no matter what you do.

Looks pretty good, but i wouldn't do that because of the weight and ride. The roads here stink.
