Rodtee, what are the wheel offsets and widths on your car? What tires?

22x9 on 245/30/22 up front, 22x10.5 on 295/25/22 in the rear. Tires are Nexen N3000. I'll have to get back to you on the exact offsets.

I have no idea what the offsets are. i called my rim guy at lunch and he didn't know, he said Savini just shaved and drilled them specifically for the XF.

I know the feeling re: potholes XF looks very very nice

I think I nice set of wheels can make a car, yours are larger than I'd fit but I'm an old git in my 40's - I'd have adored them in my 20's! Where I live the roads aren't too hot so it's counter productive too go to extreme with wheels or lowering. If no one had ever fitted aftermarket wheels to a car, Jaguar wouldn't have been prompted to fit BBS Indianapolis wheels to my X type as standard and that would have been a shame! (I think 18" on an X-type is ample mind you!)

Old thread, but your car is clean and it looks good, NOT GHETTO. Almost everything on this page is GHETTO and a disgrace to Jaguars.

I think they are too big for the car, but that's just my opinion. Mine came with some 20s and I think that's the perfect size for the car.

A bit larger than I would go as well but definitely not ghetto. Great wheel style though. The link to those others were definitely ghetto. An XF on donks is soooo wrong...

The wheels give it a kind of ' I know it's a Jag but something looks different ' look. Bottom line......if it feels good to you go with it

Since this thread's been resurrected, I'll go ahead and update with a few shots of the same rims on my newer XF. I'll likely switch to a different rim soon.

Hey Duke. I know I criticized you before but since then I've had a change of heart man. It's ur car, u pay the note and ur free to do as ur please. With that being said, I have to eat crow. The xf with the "right" 22s does look nice. And when u go for Vellanos with the brushed finish it goes very well. I will say that a car like this does look bad with cheap wheels tho.

I'm really liking the Vellanos(Brushed VSY). I started to put them on my xf 09 SC but I'm concern that if I spend the money on the rims, If they will fit on a 2012 XFR for example. I see u had no issues with fitment. I'm currently looking for a 2012 xfr but hasn't found one as of yet. I'm also concerned about what they will give me on my 09 as I really can't afford to be upside down so I may wait until I pay it off. But ur car looks nice man. I admit, I wasn't aware that the Vellanos was a luxury wheel, but now I know and want them myself.

Duke, I'm diggin the update, still looks good! I'm very excited to see which ones you go with, out of the others you've been lookin at. I know either one is going to look great on the car. Keep us up to date.

I agree they looked better on the silver but they're growing on me on the black.

Custom made - offsets are super top secret. Seriously, I have no idea and three-piece wheel makers don't like to share.
