I'm getting super frustrated with how fragile these Nevis rims are on my XFR. You all warned me, and now im suffering the consequence.

I'm thinking maybe getting XFR-S rims....or something other OEM set, before i consider going after market. but are all OEM jaguar rims as bad?

my reason for not going aftermarket just yet is because I havent really found a rim that I like for the XFR....there's not too many XFR's with rims for me to see

 

I second that. I had a mobile rim repair guy fix them for $100 a wheel about a year ago, and I already need it again. I can't figure out what is happening to them either, I am definitely not curbing them, it must be from road debris.

I guess the positive thing about the awful brake dust is that after a week you can barely see the rim defects haha.

 

I'm surprised a mobile wheel repair can fix bent rims. That's pretty involved.

The 19" Artura wheels on my cars have never had an issue with bending. I do have chrome versions, so I have had to deal with the chrome on the inside bubbling and causing slow leaks, but it's just a matter of having the chrome scraped off and the tire remounted.

I love that I don't have any brake dust at all with the ceramic pads I put on my car.

 

Sadly yes, I believe so. My XF SC has the Selena’s. Similar issue. Think it’s just the limited sidewall on the 20inch wheels that makes them very susceptible. And they do seem to be quite ‘soft’ to start. The extra staggered width doesn’t help either

I got a set of Rohana wheels that have been a bit better - but I also look out for any bump or debris on the road now!

I probably should have gone for a forged set instead. I know it’s more expensive but would have been a lot less hassle...

 

Sorry - just to add. I believe the XF-RS rims are different. Forged and much stronger. But someone else wiser can confirm!

 

i've had Torba on my XJ, and those got bent. I forgot the name of the ones on my last XJ, they were 19's...also bent.

i've had 19's before (on my infiniti)....that ran over a freaking curb! that had no problem

 

My 20" Draco's are good. No issues with them in Iowa (lots-o-potholes).
