Default Buy Ftype wheels

I've seen it mentioned a few times that its possible to buy OEM wheels for the Ftype. I'm thinking of getting the base car with 18" Vela wheels and was wondering if I could get OEM Black 19" centrifuge wheels for less than Jaguar sells it.

Does anyone know if this is possible and where would people be selling OEM wheels other than Jaguar Dealerships?

Yup, here (though it is possible they may have been repaired, Foosh got some from them he may know more), also note fronts and rears are different sizes, which is why designs appear twice):

Ah cool, thanks. I like the look of the 19" Centrifuge better but it looks like Jaguar removed them from the option list. I currently have the 19" Orbit Black and Diamond, but I'm not sure how they'd look on a Polaris white car. The White on pure black might be a better look.

There are a few with white cars with black wheels hereabouts. I think the black wheels tend to 'disappear' (ie become a featureless black circle), so I'm wondering if the black/diamond turned orbits would actually look pretty great on a white car...

Anyone got that combo?

I found some pictures on the forum of a white with the black/diamond wheels

https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/f...photos-119223/

In fact, this is pretty much exactly how mine will look (with exterior black pack)

What do people think, is this better than 19" all black centrifuges?

I'm glad Midwest Tire and Wheel is working out for some of you. They've apparently worked hard to develop relationships with dealers so that they have a pretty good supply chain.

I found them great to work with, and mine were undamaged with less than a few hundred miles on them. Midwest set up the deal, but they were shipped directly to me from a JLR dealer, taken off an R coupe, and obtained from an owner who wanted a different style wheel. They arrived mounted and balanced with P-Zeros and TPMS sensors.

We have some great deals on 'slightly used' wheels and tires for F-Types.
20" Black Cyclones that have done 1000 miles from new amongst others!


Give me a call for more information
