Ok fellow members, you don't have to give me the spill about "whatever you like best & so on". I get that, but I just want "your honest opinion".

Both Rims are the correct measurements for our cars, so no issue there. 1 set is $1100 & the other is $1500, so not a huge deal there either. Again, I pretty much have my mind set, so as I said, I just want opinions if that's ok

The 1 rim pic is a the NICHE SURGE BLACK MACHINED.

The other set, I believe most of us know what those are!..

 

I like the Niche wheels in general, but it's rare in my opinion that aftermarket wheels look good on Jags. Having owned an XKR with the Jag wheels pictured, I gotta go with them. That is a great looking wheel and I hated letting them go with the car.

 

The only aftermarket wheels that I ever went "wow" for were TSW Nürburgrings, and that was on an XF.

I've not ever seen a set of aftermarket wheels on a classic shaped Jag that I thought looked better than the original BBS ones.

 

I'm just about agreeing with both you on this; the ONLY reason I have a liking for this particular Niche wheel, is because it's close to the OEM wheel I have now, hence the reason it was a debate between the 2...

 

OEM preferred here though I don't mind running newer vintage rims on an older car.

For example, 2014 Aleutians on any year x350...

Or Rims from another model; example XKR rims on x350 (hopefully bigger and/or wider).

That said, Sentas...

Thanks-
Mag

 

I love Niche wheels. I put a set on my wife's Lincoln. I wanted Niche Targas on the XJ, but I didn't think it was the right look for the car. I'd choose the Jaguar wheels.

 

Mag, I had to look those up! Yeah I could see those on the xj8's.

Torrid, which Lincoln does your wife have?..

 

Hers is the LS in my signature. Here are the Niche wheels I put on her car. I ended up going with Coventry Whitleys for my car. I went with 18"s for ride comfort, but appearance wise I wish I had stepped up to at least 19"s.

 

For some reason I had a feeling it was the LS. Just seems like that's the Lincoln that 1 with a jag would have...

 

2014 aluetian 245 40 19 and 275 40 19 rear

 

Nicse!..

 

Marque,
I also support putting OEM rims.
IMHO the Aleutians are nice on an X351 but look odd on an X350.
Of the two models you show though, I agree with you and my vote goes for the Niche wheels, they look closer to an OEM Jaguar look.
Also, I guess they are 20" (19" is the minimum for a nice look on X350 and a good compromise in terme of comfort; I understand though that you intend to have 20" rims with bigger tyres).
Also important in my opinion is rims that are not too "transparent" when bigger, so not to show disk brakes that are ridiculously small behind. On this regard, the Niche wheels better hide the space behind

 

Easy fix for that is bigger brakes

 

Cambo gets a like for that one!

 

It's no joke lol

I guy walked up to my XJR once as I pulled into a parking spot and he said to me "wow, those are big brakes"

 

I quite like the look of Niche Essen, especially the concave rears.
They have been done on a XF here:

If going for Jaguar wheels, I like the simple 5 spoke design of Cremona or Takoba. I like Sepangs too, and think they would look good on your car.

 

Anyways,,,I found a photo where I had my BBS winter tires on the front only...I ended up using them on my Lincoln because jag Is useless in snow:O)..Oh and those brakes.....

 

I really do like Sepangs! But,,,,,,,, yeah...

 

I am a *big* fan of the Sepangs myself, hands down.

 

I like the Niche Surge. I too want to swap my 19's for 20's im looking at the Niche Surge, Citrine and Gianelle Yerevan

Offset question. I hate wheels that tuck in too much inside the fender and I hate wheels that stick out of fender. I want to line the wheels up perfectly with the fender what is the perfect offset? factory I believe its 49mm

Also do you guys recommend a staggered setup?

Marque just get the dam Niche and show me the way
