Factory wheel options
Iv recently been itching to change my original painted starfish wheels on my 88 XJS. It's not that I hate the wheel it's self, just the dull finish. I was looking at an original set that had been chromed aftermarket. I really want to attempt to keep the car somewhat original.
Now, here's the thing. I actually found on an auction sight, a set of four starfish wheels from an 86 XJS that are "factory" chrome with the black details. The price was 325.00 for all and with shipping, 430.00. I guess my question is if they really are the "rare" original chrome finish they claimed them to be. I can't find any info on these wheels. They certainly look factory. Any info? And if anyone has a photo of these chrome factory starfish wheels on their car, I'd love to see. |
No "factory" chrome wheels at all from Jaguar in that era. It was somewhat popular for dealers to have wheels chromed, or polished to a high gloss.
