Default Wheels wanted / question

I just purchased a 2017 RAWD. Does anyone know of any good deals out there on wheels or a reputable vendor on this forum??

I'm new to the F-Type and right now feeling kind of lost as to what I can fit (regarding offset and width) in a 20" that will fit properly.

Any leads would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I'd start by going to websites like getyourwheels.com, carid.com, etc. Put in your car, year, model, etc. in the wheel search and see what's available. Avante Garde, Niche, Savini, Ferrada, HRE, Coventry, are just a few that make wheels for f type. What are you looking for in way of look and $? I also assume you don't want oem? Just checked get your wheels and ftype isn't listed but XKr and all modern jags have 5 x108, 63.4 bore so to get an idea you can browse and narrow down what you make be looking for. Also look at picture gallery on the forum and search for ftype custom wheels images.

Unhingd,

I'm not looking to give up the factory wheels. I'm looking to getting a "better looking" set and keeping the factory wheels for a later time.

Funny how that works out...I actually have been reacquainted with those Propellers and preparing to install some "winter" tires.

Funny how those rotors are polarizing. You either love them or hate them.

My favorite wheel out of all the options, is still my previous diamond cut gyros. I'm trying to convince myself that I like the Rotors b/c they are forged, although apparently Jaguar doesn't believe in light weight anything. Unfortunately, they probably aren't that much lighter than the others. But I'll find out just how light they are when I swap them for my winter setup in a few months.
