rims for 1996 xj6?
 

hey guys, i am pretty sure that i am buying a 1996 xj6 from a buddy of mine. it is clean as a whistle but has 175k on it. i am only paying around 3,000 for it, so i figure i may as well put some wheels on it. any suggestions? i checked on ebay, and there was not a whole lot to choose from. any suggestions, pics, sites..... would be greatly appreciated/

thanks!

You don't say what kind of wheel you like??....Myself I stick with 15" Jaguar wheels, I don't care for those giant 18" wheels that look like something out of apimped SUV! sorry but..!!But if you want something "exclusive"that nobody else has, and you like the wire wheels "look", and you have the money, check the classic Kelsey Hayes wheels, used in Chrysler and Cadillacs of the 1950's and 1960's, those would look great in a Jaguar.Otherwise wheels are like personalities, everyone is different.

I guess that we have similar personalities then Jose because I think those particular rims would look really nice on that XJ!

yes, the Kelsey Hayes wouldlook great on any XJ, unlike the Daytons which looksort of"faky". I've seen some XJ's with Daytons and no way!The K.H. wheels cost a lot, that's why there are so few around.

here's a bunch offactory Jaguar wheels from 1990-on.

Bear in mind that your 1996 came with 16" wheels. Any of the 93 and up XJ6, XJ8, or XK8 wheels will fit. Gives you lots of choices.
