You could always try to get some second hand SVR wheels that are forged. Second hand wheels are worth virtually nothing. With the Vorsteiners I've never seen them on anything else but they look to be popular among the bimmer crowd.

I can remember though when I was looking at the XF SV8 when it first came out, the wheels were nice but pretty much identical to the Golf Gti wheels at the time and that really put me off.

Cambo I was reading the LSD thread and was wondering if there are other Jaguar models that use the same 380 mm front but most importantly the 325mm rear discs as the F-Type so we could get more people interested in a group buy. Watson6505 what do you think?

BTW I would be interested in a set for my V6S with drilled thermal slots and standard sun cut.

I've researched this before and no, there are no other Jags which use the 380 mm fronts and the 325 mm rears on the same car.
All other Jags with the 380 mm fronts also use the 376 mm rears, and all other Jags with the 325 mm rears use the the 355 mm or 325 mm fronts.

I'd love it, but sounds like the ftype is unique in another way....nobody else has 380/325

But the 325 rears are the most important as far as wortec is concerned for set up and design cost. Oops! See your pointOzXFR

I'm surprised there are not more takers. The Wortec units are not much more expensive than OEM rotors and there are enough cars old enough out there to need replacements soon. That is why I'm interested.

If they are the same size as the XE brakes you might get some interest from them

Pretty sure the XE has completely different brakes.

I thought someone previously mentioned either in this thread or another that the FType was the only JLR model with that size rotor on the rear.

Not quite.
I said that the F-Type is the only Jag with the F-Type "high performance" combo of 380 mm front and 326 mm rear.
Heaps of other Jags have 326 mm rears, but with either 355 mm or 326 mm fronts.

You’re doing it the right way. Just keep pushing. As cars come off warranty, others with the smaller rear rotors might gain interest. Bump the thread every so often.

what about posting in other jag forums that may potentially have the same size rotors. Can I just throw up a title and link to this thread?

No good if you are talking about the "high performance" 380 mm front and 326 mm rear set-up, as I said before the F-Type is the only Jag with this set-up.
It's different with the "super performance" 380 mm front and 376 mm rear set-up (per the original Wortec group buy) as all the recent R model Jags have this same set-up, so XFR, XJR, XKR (and of course F-Type R).

I'm really only looking for any combo of sizes between what was in the prior group buy (because a cast already exists) and 326 (because we need 10 for them to make it)..
