Default What's your guys opinion on these wheels?

I'm wondering if the 20's would look good on an XF supercharger.

The pic of the Aston has 22's (too big), but the E550 has 20's

Here is the gallery on their site.
Blaque Diamond Vehicles

I cant decide if it's worth getting wheels on this car or not. I love the stocks on my '10 XF SC, but I'm going to have to figure out what wheels I want to ride on in the summer, and what wheels I want to put winter tires on.

If your car is Black or Red or blue 20ies should look nice.

The factory wheels on both of those cars look much nicer than what's on there.
Very cheap looking.

Look at Vossen and TSW wheels. Mercedes Benz E Class on VVS085 Wheels

Because the spokes of this wheel appear to terminate at the tire circumference, the spokes do not appear contained and give and even larger look to the overall wheel; the lighter outline of the spokes also gives them an exagerated look that has me looking more at the wheels than at the car. Just an opinion. 20's are better than 22's. Probably 19's with this wheel would give an impression.

Wheels are an individual taste. Since you asked though, I feel that these wheels don't even look good on the cars pictured. No matter the size. It's more of a "look at the wheels" instead of something that blends in tastefully with the car. If you have a '10 SC, that means you have the Selenas. You've already won without spending another dime.

Voted no and reason is I don't think they fit the Jag too well. The Jag is a little too distinguished for them if that makes sense. I actually like them on a more exotic car like the pictured Aston, but to me they are a bit of a stretch for a Jag unless you are a young guy and it matches the overall look of your call such as having tinted windows or chromed out a bit.

+1 Selena's are the best looking wheels for the xf.

I respect that Ex, but I'm a Volans man first and foremost for my particular color car. I little less busy so they blend well. But you know what they say about opinions... I like the Selenas on the darker cars. Dark Blue and Black.

I voted no as well. But as someone above posted, it's about personal choice. And I personally don't like mostly black rims. I ordered some Lexani's with a little black but not the spokes or the lip. So it's what you like. Now the Vossens do look good in my opinion. Put a poll up for those and see what results you get.

I do not like any after market wheels. To me jaguar should be with the stock wheels. If you want bigger just buy the jaguars 20' wheels

I also voted no but as others have said, it's a personal choice. For me they draw all your attention to the wheels/tires and they look like the spokes end up supporting the tire rather than an actual rim. I have the original Volans and love the simplicity and the ease of cleaning... but as mentioned... it's a personal choice.

With that wheel size look, I'm expecting the suspension to start jumping up and down like a redneck's ride. I not only don't like them, I quite hate the look. Looks like something you would see on a want-to-be racer's Ford Focus! Other than that, I like 'em.

Don't like them, not on either of those cars and for sure not on an XF and I'm an after market wheels kinda guy! They look boy racer and not at all deserving to be on these types of vehicles,

Which Lexani's did you get; what size - any photos? I like the look of some of the Lexani's, but not sure how they'd look on a XF SC.

To me they look like they belong on a '73 Eldorado with chrome fenders and a velvet roof.
.........or perhaps a jumped up Pinto or Maverick.
