Does anyone know if, spoke wheels came factory on the xj6's?
all my reading only shows the different mag wheels,i'm thinking
they were dealer installed,mine have jaguar center caps on them
though?
THANKS EDDIE

 

Always dealer or owner installed, period.

 

Plus, the spoke wheels were never really designed for use on the XJ6...

I had contaced Hendrix wire wheel ( http://www.hendrixwirewheel.com/wheels.html )
about a set I had found with some broke spokes. They won't even service a wire wheel going on a XJ6 although they are a Dayton service center.

I still think they look great, and have a 87 project car with them and am planning to leave them on the car...

thats what i thought, so you just confirmed it,they look great on my car though.my dad has had trouble keeping air in them maybe,i can find some factory mags for it.

 

yes they were dealer install and I HATE WIRE WHEELS..theyre very heavy, dont like any type pothole, and never stay balanced well. And a flat pain to clean

 

ive seen old people in my area with spokes on their S types and very new XJs lol

 

That would give rise to a new internet abbreviation: POFRH

Puking On Floor Real Hard

 

speaking of.. I do have a tight spoked old screw on E type wire wheel....I guess I should put on Ebay

 

thanks for the info guys,i'm gonna have to get some oe wheels on at some point.the spokes look great on this body style but,they are not practical.i plan on driving this
car,not daily but,some.

 

POFRH, funny JTO!

I always loved the wire spoke look and was bummed when I saw the ad to buy my XJ that it had the aluminum (starfish?) mags. Then I saw them in real life and wouldn't want to change them to anything else! I always compared them to the pontiac mag of the late '70's, but they look so much better in real life than in pics.
