Default Wheels? are they nice?

My 'new' Jag wears these. What do you chaps think? Bit bling?

They are RS. Better with a black growler badge in the middle perhaps?

Wheels are nice, but they come up as your own taste. If i were you i would change the center caps to http://amzn.to/2eWeKAF or https://www.amazon.com/OES-Genuine-J...uar+center+cap.

They are a bit bling for me, but whether you like them is what matters.

My favourites are the Asteroids as fitted to XJRs.

A pic of the total car (nice color, btw) will give a much better impression .

As Eric says a photo of the whole car would be better, however I don't think they're appropriate from what I can see. They would probably be better suited to a Mustang or Camero.

I suspect you could sell them, get some original Jaguar wheels, and still have change, if you play your cards right.

I wonder what they'd look like fitted to the X100 XK/XKR? I'm inclined to always fit oem wheels because they stay round. There's some great oem options for our cars, and that helps with sustaining market value. Insurance companies can void if aftermarket rims are fitted without informing them, worth considering.

Maybe in the spring. They're not free of corrosion I'm afraid. Meanwhile I've put some 60mm growlers in the middle and they're ok
