Giovanna Portofino,
Size - Front: 20 x 8.5 / Rear: 20 x 10.0
Offset - Front: +35mm / Rear: +40mm
Stock rear rim weighs 36.5 lbs
Portofino rear rim weighs 25.4 lbs
They easily clear the XFR large front calipers, and there is no rubbing at all during compression.
Normally I'm not a big fan of Giovanna wheels, but the price was right and they're forged so they're light. I had a really hard time finding reasonably priced rims that would clear those huge front calipers (No, I'm not going to drop $6K on some forged HRE's). With the rears only being 1/2" wider I could re-use my stock tires which still have a lot of meat on them. The offset on these are perfect, they fill out the fenders completely. I still need to get black tuner lugs (they only had silver).

Looks factory. That has to be the best black on black combination I have seen.
Try grabbing pictures from few feet away, would love to see the whole car.

All told, it was around $1400. That includes shipping, getting my stock tires swapped onto the new rims and mounted and balanced, and buying hub-centric rings and tuner lug nuts (stocks won't fit).Originally Posted by BritCars
Looks really good! How much did that set you back?
My intention is to sell my stock Nevis rims, and recoup most (if not all) of that such that my total out of pocket will be around $0

I like the wheels. They are sharp. But honestly, I think they really belong on a Mustang-type car, and not a Jag.Originally Posted by aliensporez

And I'm still on the fence about the silver ring around the lip. It's simply a painted line on the outside edge. Thinking I might paint it black so the whole rim is black. Opinions? @Donk

Get it polished if you can. Will look better that way and will match all the chrome trim around the windows. Unless you're trying to get away from chrome...Originally Posted by aliensporez

Just a minor point, but most people don't seem to know that the window trim is not chrome. It's anodized aluminum. It's important to know so you don't use the wrong products on it to clean it.Originally Posted by 2010 Kyanite XFR

These Portofino rims are nice. Will they fit the 2009 XF SC with that same offset? Want to make sure they can clear the caliper and have enough room in the wheel compartment.
Thanks

Yes, they absolutely would fit the XF SC. The challenge I had with getting rims for the XFR was getting wheels that had clearance for the massive front brake calibers. The SC should have no problems.Originally Posted by mwaggon
