GORGEOUS

Jaguar XK8 and XKR promotional film - YouTube

 

Nice! Green on 20" Detroits isn't my favourite combination and they stretch the car in almost every shot to make it look wider than it really is, but I'd still like an HD version of the video

 

Frog and I will have to disagree on this one. Green with the Detroits is my favorite combination. I've considered finding a set for my car, but they are usually listed for more than I want to spend on them.

 

I think the Detroits look too ghetto. It seems mostly prevalent on cheap wheels... there's so much open space you're forced to stare at ugly (or even nice) brakes. I like my Sepangs much better. They have sort of a classy spoke like quality to them and it's no problem seeing the brakes, especially when the car is moving.

 

Apollos are by far the nicest looking stock wheels. I'm sure everyone will agree with that. EVERYONE! LOL!

 

Nice video--these cars are always easy to look at and appreciate. By the way, by far the best wheels are Montreals! Detroits have too much space between the spokes and Sepangs are too busy with too many spokes. Montreals are just right!

I like the Sepangs, too, and agree with xenophobe about the drug-dealer Detroits. I think the nicest wheel of all on the XK is the 19" Atlas. Probably because they look like the Aston Martin DB9's wheels (yes, sorry, I'm getting a bit obsessed about the DB9...)

 

The wheels and tires look better when smoke is pouring off of them...don't you think?

 

My Apollo's are still on the car and the chrome Atlas still in storage. Decisions, decisions... I might eventually just get another set of tires so that the lady can change her shoes when she feels like it

 

Can we at least agree that the Revolvers are the worst? I like the wheel, but it is so much better suited to the XJ, they just are too heavy looking for the XK. I will submit my friend Mitch's XJ for your consideration (and his car is for sale for those of you in British Columbia):

 

You certainly have my agreement on that.

I bought my coupe in June of this year, and it had the original 17" Revolvers on it. I quickly went shopping and found four 18" Double-Fives to stuff into the corners. It was a dramatic improvement...along with lowering the rear by 1.25" and installing XKRacer's 25mm spacers in the rear for a better stance.

 

All I have to say is d***!

I've never said that about Revolver wheels either. They look really good on that XJ.

For my XKR, I like the stock Double Five wheels I've got. I do like the look of the Detroits on a Black Coupe (a pic of an XKR Coupe w/ the Detroits is what I ogled prior to buying my car).

 

Every time I see the title of this thread I think it says "XK8 and XKR Porno Film..."

 

I must add that Jaguar Racing Green with Detroits is also my favorite but then I have a dog in this fight so to speak... ;-)

 

Very cool!

 

I keep trying to figure out the story being told in that short promo. The guy drives the coupe and the gal drives the convertible. Are they a couple? Are they driving to meet each other? There doesn't seem to be a payoff that makes sense other than 2 people who may or may not be related driving 2 versions of the same car around town.

Lol, I was just going to write exactly the same comment!

 

They met on craigslist. You can guess what happens next.

 

He kills her?

 

That and/or has relations with her. If both, the order of operations is up to him.
