A number of us with the V6 have upgraded to the Gyrodynes (not available as a factory option for us). Did you get the silver or the black/diamond cut?

I'll have a 19" propeller wheel/tire set I'll be selling in July.

At the top of the message box, click on the icon with the mountains. That'll prompt you to locate the image on your computer. I don't think you can do it easily from a mobile device.

This is an excellentl price.

It's almost identical to what I paid at Midwest Tire and Wheel for a Gyrodyne full tire wheel package (P-Zeros and TPMS sensors mounted and balanced after adding the extra cost of everything in addition to the wheels), and they have the best prices I've seen.

I think the silver Tornados are also very nice, and a toss up for me with the Gyrodynes. Had I not found the Gyodynes, I would have snapped these up in an instant.

I thought the Tornado wheels was very nice also but really like the look of the Gyrodyne. It seem I would have them sold if they were Black, everyone seem to want them in black.

Thanks
Terry

it's only like $200 to powdercoat a set of wheels. if anybody wants black wheels, this shouldn't scare them off.

What makes the black gyrodynes stand out are the machine turned (and polished?) front faces. Might be difficult to find someone to do that after they are powder coated.

Yea but for these wheels its no issue to powder coat them straight black just like they would come from the factory.

They're not straight black from the factory. They're diamond cuts (face turned) as described above.

Sorry, thought the "them" we were talking about were the Gyrodynes that he liked better. I'll pay better attention next time.

I seen my car with the Tornado wheels on there but had the dealer change them out before I took possession of the car. I will get some pictures up once it stop raining here.

I have the silver Gyrodines on order for my car as well. I'm trading the Tornado rims in. I hope the weather improves for you!

Black and diamond turned Gyrodynes are not expensive.

They cost about $2000 a set brand new from the Jaguar dealer. I bought a replacement front wheel for $454 since I curbed it a while back. I thought it was such a good price, I preferred to replace the wheel then repair it.

So better to buy new then repaint an existing one.
