Any of them with a can of spray paint.


75% serious.

You'll save a mint of custom wheels.

Having balanced so many from oem to aftermarket including higher end expensive ones. Oem are much better than atermarket. Higher degree of roundness, minimal heavy spots which needs much less weight. And theyre in most cases no where near as heavy and aftermarket, heavy unsprung weight decreases acceleration, increase braking distance and cost fuel. Are there many great oem jaguar wheels. I have 20" takoba(xfr,xkr) painted black on my 04 vdp. Look great against the radiance red. As long as you are fine with this then get what you like

Oversized rims degrade ride quality. If you go with large rims you will feel every bump AND accelerate wear of the suspension components. Double harsheness if you also lower the car at the same time.

I understand wanting to improve how your ride looks, but it is too easy to end up with a ride that is about as comfortable as riding a steamroller.

My 2009 XKR Portfolio with OEM 20" Selena wheels (standard equipment) does not ride harshly at all, and I don't feel every bump in the road. The suspension is very comfortable because it was designed for 20s. It's a great compromise for a GT, with excellent handling and a quiet, compliant, and comfortable ride. Tire choice also affects ride quality.

I would agree with SinF if you put on 22s or larger because the sidewalls would be so thin that it would be like riding on the rim.
