Default Anybody recognize this car???

Hey All,

I WANT THESE WHEELS.

Does anyone know if these are replicas or originals?

Anybody know the OWNER?

If originals, are they staggered, or four fronts?

Any help appreciated.https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/i.../icon_poop.gif

I'm sure they are after market. I have seen a wheel like it on a local corvette.
I don't know who the mfg'r is.

Those are nice looking wheels.
But, again, the XJS is kind of unique in that it makes just about any wheel look good. I've seen them with a variety of designs and, facelift or pre, wheels can really enhance the looks of the car and/or the car's gracious lines can make the wheels look their best. I know, I'm XJS biased...

They're pretty close to sport wheels off mid - late 90s BMWs.

Hi Reinaldo,

You are in So Cal?
What mods if any did you need to run those wheels you have now? They are my SECOND CHOICE, ONLY because Jag lovers easily recognize them as Jag wheels, as opposed to the BMW Parallels on the car I put up.

I was asking about the BMW wheels because I didn't wanna have to… "reinvent the wheel" using them.

NICE XJ.

Would be nice to get fitment info on those M-Parallels and add them to the wheel thread. You can find them fairly cheap on ebay, and those tire sizes will be available for a long time.

Man, it happened again. I was in the middle of writing a reply when the site just took it away and all I wrote disappeared, vanished, gone. What is going on?

OK, let's try again here and hopefully I can finish the response before it gets taken away...

Yes, Redondo Beach.
For Revolvers on a facelift XJS, rear wheels fit perfectly. Front wheels will need a 1/4" spacer so the spindle won't pop the center emblem off. That's it.
