want to replace stock wheels - choices?
I've had enough of the stock 19" 'Aleutian' wheels on my XJ. I've replaced 2 and, still have one bent, and replaced one wheel twice!!!
I believe them to be made of a soft(er)alloy that on my other vehicles causing them to bend easier that other wheels. I know the potholes are bad around Michigan but my other vehicles don't suffer from the same problems with even lower profiles tires.
So I'm thinking of changing to some reasonably priced (read not forged) aftermarket wheels.
But first I need to know what the standard 19" sizes and offsets are?
And has anyone have luck with finding aftermarket wheels that fit well on a base 2013 XJ (3.0 V6) ?

Why not get the bent wheels repaired? Here in Atlanta there is a place called The Wheel Wizard that straightens and refinishes my wheel for @ $200.00. I know they do get a lot of mail order repairs and are BBSs chosen competition wheel repair facility. Give them a call.

Personally I have and extra front and rear wheel and have them repaired and waiting for the next event.

Thanks But I'm trying to get rid of the XJ wheels and use a different wheel completely as the stocks are too soft.
Has anyone here changed from their stock wheels - if so, what sizes and offsets did you use?

Mssurrey all I have is this regarding supercharged models. While it says SuperSport and XJR I believe that the offset and wheel width on the SuperSport is the same as other XJs.
....................................2014MY XJR......................2013MY XJ Supersport
Front wheel Offset......20”, 9J, 49 offset.............. 20”, 9J, 49 offset
Rear Wheel Offset.......20”, 10J, 44 offset.............20”, 10J, 46 offset

Front wheel Offset......20”, 9J, 49 offset.............. 20”, 9J, 49 offset
Rear Wheel Offset.......20”, 10J, 44 offset.............20”, 10J, 46 offset

I have the 3.0V6 S/C with 19" wheels - do you know if the offset and widths are the same?

They should be as the tire sizes are the same width (275 and 245), but the aspect ratio is 40 and 45 for the 19" and 30 and 35 for the 20" wheels. Being a low volume manufacturer there is much sharing of components across the range
