Question which one???

I'm in the market for new wheels and I can't decide between the two. They are going on a silver STR.


1.

2.

20X8.5 Front 20X10 Rear

as far as the offsets I'm not sure.. I'm going to have to get whatever's compatible. I Want Them flush With The Fenders.

No. 1

It takes ages to clean the fiddly little perimeter bolts on my Sepangs and No. 2 looks a similarly labour intensive design.

do they come in pre-set offsets? or can you custom order any offset?

I'll Have To Make A Call And Do More Research. And Come To Find Out The Concave Wheels May Not Fit..They Are 20x9 Front 20x10.5 Rear
The Other Wheels Are 20x8.5 Front 20x10 Rear

8.5F and 10.5R may still fit... but depends entirely on offsets, and brembo clearance may still be an issue,

Neither, both too busy for the jags clean lines - would like a 5 spoke or a Barcelona type style.

I Agree With You On The First Wheel. Not So Much On The Second One(My Favorite). I think the curves of that wheel really complement the curves and lines of the Jaguar S-Type. I really like the concave wheels but the lines are very sharp and straight.

I googled those wheels in 5x108, 20x8.5, only thing available is offsets of +35 and +40,

20x8.5 ET40 in the front will poke... a lot, stock ET60 on an 8.5...


There's also no 20x10.5 available in 5x108 for the rear, so you have to run 20x8.5 +40 all around,

If you want 20" wheels, get a set of XJ wheels, will look OEM/clean, affordable, only downside is they won't be staggered, 20x8 all around basically,

There's a local STR with 20" XJ super v8 wheels, and it looks alright,

Well That's Disappointing Lol.. What Offsets Am I Looking For To Get A Flush/Near Flush Fit?
Also What Offset Would Make Them Poke Out In The Front And Back?

This is how you know you are getting older! I totally agree with you though. Now when I look at rims to purchase I try to find the easiest ones to clean!

is neither an option? lol j.k they both look good but i would want to know how much they weigh?

also i am not a fan of the black edges and inner detailing (looks like brake dust city) and all, as well it is more of a fad the aftermarket suppliers are saying so just keep that in mind about getting outdated. polished is where its at!
