I've read all of the threads regarding wheels... not many photos or options it seems.

My R wheels have plenty of curb rash from the previous owner, even got one of the spokes. I'm going to see about having them fixed but am also going to look at aftermarket alternatives that might give a more aggressive look without going rice... it's a little tough as the S has such elegant lines and one can get easily carried away with wheels.. IMHO.

So for starters I know mine are 18x8 and 18x9.5 and I intend to stick with 18's but I can't seem to find accurate offset/backspace dimensions. Anyone have those handy?

Here are some of the wheel styles that have caught my eye, some are not available in 9.5 widths though and can't be used but I'm going to show them for style sake in case someone knows of a similar wheel that will work.

I'm thinking silver or dark gray with machined lip.. no black centers.

Verde Kaos Hyperblack:


Love the Boze alloys but don't want to spend 1k+ each...but like this look:




Maybe a TSW:


Something along these lines... any ideas??

 

You might try looking in the various brochures on here and the net
Also, the pages on jag's site LOL

 

I'm searching all over, love the Verde wheels, called them, no 9.5" wheel though.

The TreadDepot banner up top has nothing for Jaguar STR... kind of ironic.

No matching wheels were found. Please call us at 1-(888)421-8473 for further assistance.


TireRack shows some O.Z. wheels but not spending 900.00/wheel.

Now.. there's the Stern wheels like Jaggyx runs on his X.



Victoria Wheel and Tire lists a ton of wheels for the R...IF they are truly correct in backspace/offset.

 

I really like these Asanti's -- and they do have the correct bolt pattern and offsets that will fit. Only problem is the price; $5000/set

 

TSW and ADR have a 8.5 and 10 stagger with a custom offset, Ive been eyeballing a set.

They also have a 9.5 and 11 too.

 

Any links or pics? I really like the stock wheels, but mine are pretty tired. I am going to have them powdercoated for less than the cost of one new wheel.

 

Just lower it with H&R Springs and throw on some 20's

 

sorry American dont mean to hijack your thread but since the topic is new wheels i thought maybe i could get some of your opinions. i have a green str & i was thinking about these dvinci wheels. i plan on painting the black inserts to match the body color & i think maybe ill paint the calipers body color also. what do you guys think ?

 

Uh.. no.. I happen to like the ride it has now.

Good lord man... don't say something like that in my thread, you may get me struck by lightning too! You asked.. my opinion would be a resounding no.

You two guys need to go over here.

 

Those look really heavy. I also say no. I like sleeker looks. Like the Asantis above are perfect if they werent 5000. Any specs on weight?

 

LOlz...if you like your stock OEM wheels then don't be looking at getting any aftermarket alternatives wheels, just fix up your old stock rims and ride into the sunset

 

And I may very well do that, I need to venture over to Dallas and visit a couple of the wheel repair shops to get their opinions... IF they can fix them I want to make sure that I can't tell and they are right. Don't want welds or fillers coming off later AND I want to make sure they are true.

Now.. back to MY wheels... or lack of. I'm just trying to see if anyone can produce pics and/or links to wheels that are similar to what I showed in my first post.

 

Thanks for your opinion vance580. Im not sure how much they weigh but your right they do look pretty heavy. Those Asantis are sexy but 5000 is outta my price range for wheels lol guess im gonna keep lookin...Thanks for startin up the thread American

 

Did you check the OE wheels? E.g. use Search with
brochure

and google

Anyone ever mount xkr wheels on our s type r? The sizes are the same except 19".

There's a s type r with HRE's on ebay right now.

 

the 97-06 xk8/r wheel bolt pattern and s-type are different, sorry. Other models the bolt patterns are similar, but need to check on the offsets, you may be able to use spacers to make others work...but only if the offset on the s-type is say...larger than the xj. doubt that.

Link to the table

 

Here you goa lot of help to everyone, its a lug and offset crossover guide.

JAGUAR S-TYPE R BREMBO BRAKES:

Make Model Year Bolt Pattern OEM Wheel Size Stud Size Hub Center Bore Offset
JAGUAR S-TYPE R BREMBO BRAKES 2003 > 18x8 5 X 108 - 5 X 4.25 12 X 1.5 63.4 H
JAGUAR S-TYPE R BREMBO BRAKES 2003-08 18x9.5 5 X 108 - 5 X 4.25 12 X 1.5 63.4

Offset: The distance from the mounting surface of the wheel to the true centerline of the rim. A positive offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is positioned in front of the true centerline of the rim / tire assembly. This in effect brings the tire in to the fender well more. Conversely, a negative offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is behind the true centerline of the rim / tire assembly. This will cause the tire to stick out away from the vehicle.
H = High Positive or FWD (Front Wheel Drive) typically +45, 40, 35 offsets
M = Medium Offset or RWD (Rear Wheel Drive) Typically +20 offset
L = Low Offset or RWD (Rear Wheel Drive) Typically 0 offset


Helps some... would be good to know what the exact Zeus offsets/backspacing is F&R though.

 

Dang I had mine off last weekend I could of let you known. Maybe this weekend but I'm sure someone will chime in with them before then.
