A nice addition or sacrilege ?
Howsabout wires and leaper....or, and white letter tyres ?




Although l like the wires, the main reason was difficulty in finding 15" tires and these 16" came up for a good price on Flebay. (That's my excuse and l'm sticking to it....)

 

Wire wheels, white letters and whitewalls; perfect.

 

Don't forget to paste a Leaper on it too while you're at it!

I like the look of the wires on mine, but I also have a set of the original "Starfish" rims if I change my mind. With the chrome fender flares, I think the wires fit perfectly.

Finding tires is a pain..

NO LEAPER! lol

 

Wire rims are classy on an XJS IMO. However, white letters might cross the fine line of classy into what Brits on another site refer to as "Chav".

 

i think wire wheels look good on the xjs

 

sacrilege? They look more correct than anything

 

Why? 225/60r15s are pretty readily available. Falken ziex912s are only like $80 a piece

 

Wire Wheels look nice, but white lettering says "muscle car" look to me. Dunno about white walls though. Anybody got a decent pic of an XJS rocking white walls?

There is a difference too between white wall and white line tyres too I think.

Being an ex leaper person, I would definitely say Growler all the way. As pointed out to me, the leaper seems to detract from the nice sweeping hood.
