Default Cragars on a Jaguar?

So I was wondering what my car would look like with Cragars. I went to a wheel visualizer page and tried it out. I thought it looked pretty good. I tried to paste it here but it blew up.

Would seem a bit 'heavy' looking to me, as I see them as 60's/70's era muscle car wheels. Was there a specific wheel you were considering? Couldn't find Jag on the Cragar visualizer page.

So I went here, put in my car, 19" wheels, convertible, color and all, then used US Mags Bandit U418 which I thought was pretty close to the Cragar S/S

I don't know if I am considering it, just wondered what it would look like. Cragars were the big thing back in my high school days.

Yeah, that's it except I used the non-blacked version. How'd you get that to post? When I tried it the whole thing blew up.


Anyway, it doesn't look too bad, IMO.


Pretty sure I don't like Shemp's XJS above.

Ok, now that's not bad, reminds me of the Pontiac Rally 2 wheels I used to have years ago.

The share link was useless for forum posting. I hit "save" an it saved to a pdf. Then I screen shot'd the pdf, cropped, uploaded to an image host site and posted here. All for you

I tried screen shot to notepad and paste, that didn't work out well.

Saw this in another thread. It was photoshopped, but doesn't look too good.

Agreed, does nothing positive for the car.

The only thing worse than seeing Cragars on a Jaguar is seeing a bikini on Hillary!

Never liked Cragers. Keystones on the other hand had much more class and the chrome lasted more than a year.

I usually went with American Racing Mags back in the day. Ran them on my 63 Vette along with Goodyear racing donuts.

I thought Jaguar has an OEM design in the spirit of the Cragars?
