Change my mind.

 

I can't change your mind, nor would I want to change it.
When you're right, you're right.
I've been trying to buy another couple rears, but they are impossible to find as most people say XF rims fit, but they DON'T. The offset is wrong.

 

I got the rears from the UK and the fronts from Spain.....dirt cheap because they all need refinishing. But all in (wheels, shipping and refinishing) ill be under $2k. This way, when I get them refinished, they will all have the same 'hyper silver' powder coat. I thought about getting a wheel here and there, but even if they were a shade off from each other, it would bug me.

Oh and thank you Cee Jay for schooling me on the proper offsets. I would have been really disappointed falling into that trap. Hopefully Ill get them back from the re finisher Tuesday eve.

 

While I agree that the 20" Nevis wheels have a WOW factor and are quite attractive, my wants/needs are a bit different.
For my XK (and XJ too!) I prefer the 18" Vela wheels. Comfortable ride, great looks and super deals.
The F-Type dealer take-offs now on my XK were perfect factory finish, OEM tires still had nubs and factory balance!
All for the price of refinished wheels.
Additional 10mm offset on the 9.5" rear wheels fits and looks great on the XK.
The XJ sports refinished 8.5" wide XF wheels with same offset front and rear.
Different strokes...



Jaguar Vela wheel

 

The Vela and Alution Jag rims are beautiful. I like blade style wheels go figure. If they made the Vela in 20" I would have probably gone that route. One of the reasons I stuck to 20" is that I have new tires and didnt want to sing another $1500 into this venture.

 

Nope. Sorry Sir, but this is not correct. Too massive.
The absolute best looking XK rims are the Senta rims. Perfect blend of sportiness and elegance, fitting our big cats like a glove.
And 20 inchers fill the wheel arches just perfectly.

Sorry, undisputable fact right here.

 

Sorry have to disagree a little as depends on car colour...also what was made available in your country,

My Vortex I recently sold went for £2.5k GBP and they were pristine, with tyres, centre caps and TPMS monitors

Now running on black Vulcans

 

Vortex do snag second place behind Nevis.

 

Each to his/her own.

I know price has no bearing on such things, but:

Nevis front or rear = £710 GBP inc each
Vulcan DT front or rear = £1560 inc each

So at least mine should have been more exclusive based on the price alone?

 

Fix'd...

 

👍👍👍👍

 

Fixed again!!

 

I concur…. That many of you are absolutely wrong. And that a few outstanding souls warrant the ”I’m right” merit.
Sentas are indisputably (by the right sort) The Best.

(awaiting the professional jpeg editing from…)

 

I absolutely can't stand fake bolts, mostly because the complete nightmare cleaning them.

 

Vortex is my favorite.

 

The verdict is in.......Nevis. Fresh from the wheel shop who did an amazing job of refinishing them to perfection.



Now I have a set of staggered Venoms Taking up space in the garage.

 

I prefer the lighter, airier looking sentas...but cleaning around the fake bolts is troublesome. Sacrificing practicality for looks...that is my life's story!

Light and airy is for hot air balloons. Blade/turbine style wheels for the win.

Could not stand these wheels....so glad they are off my car.

 

I'm just in a cloud then, love the almost frail appearance of the 20" Montreals...they were/ are my favorites.

Ill give you points on the XK8 wheels....I do like those. Funny how wheels are super personal to the owner.
