Default Motiv Marnello Wheel on XFR - Pics

A short time ago I wrote about replacing my Draco wheels on my 2011 XFR. Wheel shopping was confusing and most of the wheels I liked where silly expensive (but not more than factory wheels).

I finally found a reasonable cost set from tirebuyer.com which are Motiv Marnello 410s. These are in the familiar hyper silver and I wanted a dark gray to go with the blacked out look of my car. So I bought them for $600 delivered (I must have gotten a sale price because now they are $795 delivered) and paid $500 to my local wheel repair shop to refinish them in 'magnetic gray'. I painted the center caps black and cut the tabs off my stock Jag center caps and glued them on.

I paid the dealership $170 to mount and balance them because I knew Brutal would do the job right. So overall I'm in for $1270 and I can sell my Draco's which cost over $1000 each from Gaudin.

The weather in Houston is cruddy right now so no real glamour shot but you get the idea. These are 20x8.5 & 20x10 40mm offset. They stick out just a bit more and combined with the protruding spokes give it a slightly more muscular look.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Wow those look really really good. What is the weight difference if any from your stockers?

Looks good. Pretty flush. Is there any rubbing with the new setup?

When you get a chance throw up some more pics

Looks really good. I have also have Motiv's on my car. I like the concave designs from this company. This company really produces "luxury alloys" and the wheels are not that heavy either (Mine was around 34lbs)!
