OK guys, hold it down. I'm not a fan of the dark wheels myself, but I also believe "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". I'm a chrome fan and many are not. This is what makes the world an exciting place! Bobby, you go for what you like and enjoy yourself. I will do the same.

Yes, staggered. What do you consider low profile tires? I'm getting 255/40R20 in the front and 285/35R20 in the rear. I have my windows tinted.

Thanks george, I also think beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In fact, I am going to be getting all of the shiny bits on my car painted black in the not too distant future, so we will have completely opposite vehicles!
I know a lot of our customers do love their chrome bits.

by the way, on your car, getting your OE wheels chomed might look really nice. We have a white one on our showroom floor done up like yours but with chrome wheels (your model wheels) and it looks very sharp.

Funny you should mention that. I have been looking into it. Do you have a pic of that car? In fact the Vela wheels are my favourite one anyway. They look like the are in motion when standing still.

Too bad the Vela wheel doesn't come in 20 inch. They appear to be moving when the car is parked!

The 19" Aleutian wheels are an option on the XJs. They are very similar to the Velas wheels. Should bolt up with no problem.
