I'm just curious why your thread topic is your user name? Probably get more looks if you asked the question there. Something like 'Wire rims on an XK?' would suffice. Just looks retarded as it is.

I've read others poo-pooing the use of wire wheels on the X150's, but some of those pics (not many of the X150) look pretty good to me. Don't think I'd go as far as white sidewalls though.

I think the reverse deep dish Borrani type similar to the ones on the Ferrari Daytona would look pretty good. Maybe in 18-19" .

This has already been extensively discussed. See my post #6: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...wheels-175412/


Alternatively, consider lightweight forged alloys. Much stronger than cast aluminum.
