I just mounted my new 22" Gianelle Tropez. What y'all think?

 

I think they look good. And I'm not being critical at all but to me they remind me of the A7 rims. I noticed because there is one I see often parked near my condo.

Just don't know how you guys can do 22's with the rubber band side walls. I've lost 2 rims and I have 20's

 

I agree with you on the tires. The only reason I did 22's cause the Jag isn't my daily driver and they definitely look better, at least in my opinion.

 

Really nice wheels.......but the stance is wrong.

needs lowering 20mm and it will be perfect!!!

 

Looks sweet !

 

Very good looking....good color scheme overall!

 

Very sweet looking ride!

 

Love it! I was just looking at these wheels and stumble across your ride in the Google search. Very nice job!

 

They look great.

 

Sure it looks nice but get a luxury car and then turn it into a mediocre [at best] ride I do not get; .. surely the ride is gonna be harder than hell?

No doubt someone will enlighten me.

 

MoabUtah, quick, serious question for ya....have you ever "plus sized" wheels on a car?

 

Did you use any spacers on the front or back or did they come in that offset. I'm thinking about putting spacers on my fronts to push the wheels out just a bit, about a 1/2 inch.

 

Serious answer No.

But I have been in a friends car who had 20 or 21" wheels and the ride was ruined IMO



You pays your money and make your choice If you like the look and ride .... go for it, it's your car.

 

No doubt! I was just curious. I've pretty much plus sized wheels on every car I've owned and while there is a difference in the ride, if you have good tires, with a proper balance and alignment the ride difference isn't that noticeable and I would say far from terrible.

Where the ride issues usually come in is when you're hit a pothole and even slightly bend a wheel and they are no longer truly round is when you start to really notice the difference IME.

I am not using any spacers. I am not trying to go too aggressive on the stance to avoid any possible rubbing issues. I am pleased with the look and the ride, it feels almost stock and no rubbing at all.

 

It is still a luxury car, in fact I think the bigger wheels make it look more luxurious. The ride difference is hardly noticeable.

 

You chose very well, you're XF looks great!

 

If they look good to you, that's what matters. As for me, I would never put 22's on the XF. I don't care about the ride quality, but 22's just look too big for this car, they're almost like clown feet. I have purchased bigger wheels on all of my cars before I got my XF, but not too big. For the XF I would go with wider, staggered 20's. 21's max. 22's start to look a little donk lol
