wheels are here! they look SICK!

two of the tires are here, and 2 are on backorder

also, I need to figure out where to get lug nuts. Does anyone know the thread pattern? I was going to just order these:
but I'm worried about them not fitting.

 

Good Bobby!! Now let's get them photos ASAP!!

 

other two tires should be here Monday. I'll take some photos then!

 

Looking forward to seeing it to be honest. U did good going with the stag fit to help the frontend maintain the sleekish look. Hope It works out and I will be waiting . What Color is ur Jag?

 

stratus gray. so, very nearly black!

 

Nice color. Black rims and tint should look nice. Just curious, have u ever thought about getting that jaguar fender piece painted black? If I did the black wheels and tint I would likely consider it. I probably would leave the "Jaguar" lettering black and paint the other part of the fender piece a matte black to blend in with the wheels. Just a thought

 

fender piece? not sure what you mean.


My ultimate plan is to paint the window surrounds, side gills, grilles, and trunk plinth and leaper black. Basically, anything shiny will be painted black. Also, when the wheels get installed, I'm going to have the calipers and rotors painted black.

 

The 'side gills' is what I'm referring to, I probably would do that black definitely

 

yeah I'll be painting that. I'll be going gloss black though. I've been considering the matte finish on that stuff, but I think it will look strange next to the other gloss black trim pieces.

 

Isn't the wheels matte black?

 

yep, because next to the tire, I don't like glossy wheels. they always make the tires look dirty.

don't worry, I won't make you drive my car!

 

Don't pain, dip....https://www.dipyourcar.com/

Cant go wrong, and can always change it.

 

I've been thinking about plasti dip. it's cheap, so I might just try some of it for giggles.

Old wheels on co-worker's stype

 

The Caravellas look pretty good on the S type.

 

they look amazing! I always love how newer factory wheels look on older model year vehicles. it doesn't seem to matter what make of vehicle, they always look really good.

 

crappy cell phone preview:



already getting looks on the road on the test drive. I'm in love.

 

Looks very good on the grey XF. I wonder how it will look my silver XF. I was always a fan of dark colored wheels. Lost my love for chrome wheels a decade ago.

 

here's another from a slightly different angle and with the car actually clean. I'll go out and get some better photos that weren't taken with a phone this weekend hopefully.

I definitely need that H&R kit now.
