Default Anyone have aftermarket wheels?

While I do like the Pentas on my Sport, I'd like to see what you guys/girls have. Doesn't have to be aftermarket either, can also be different Jaguar wheels.

Ok, let me be the first one:
From the 16" VDP rims to Jaguar XKR ones, refurbished, 18", 8J front, 9J rear, with staggered tires.

Looks great!! I did a search, and couldn't find a thread that showed different wheels on x308s. I have been wondering if O.Z Futuras would look good. I know the bolt pattern is 5x120.65

But what is the offset?

Might have more luck on google than searching the forum for pictures

If you're interested in the R1 BBS wheels, some keywords to look for are Milan, Detroit, Montreal, and my personal favourite, Perseus.

Also, lots of pics of cars with aftermarket wheels here... just have to look past the body kits and camber

An offset of +33 is a good starting point for the OEM wheels, there are plenty of websites where you can then compare the consequences if you go wider, larger, staggered, etc.

Thanks! Knowing the bolt pattern and offset helps out a bunch! I know wheel fitment quite well. Just wasn't sure of the offset on our cars.

For the benefit of the OP, those are the factory 17" wheels from the previous gen XJR (X300)

OZ Opera wheels are quite similar, if you are looking specifically at aftermarket. It opens up a few more wheel sizes, eg 18, 19 or 20". Plus you could go wider than the stock 8" too

Yes I know they are the 95-97 XJR wheels. My dad had a 95 xjr and man what a ride it was. They remind me of the XJ220 wheels😎

Looks good tahoemedic!

I went for the 60's classic look. 18" American Racing classic Torq Thurst wheels.

I know I am digging up an old thread here, but those are an extremely interesting choice of wheel. not quite my cup of tea, but certainly distinctive and tough!

at one point my XJR was wearing a set of Chrome Senta wheels which meant to be for the later models of XJs and XKs.

welcome to search my old post years ago.

it was quite a project for the conversion.

As soon as I recover from the cost of having my timing gear, water pump and thermostat housing upgraded I’m doing a set of chrome dayton wires on mine. I already know most people don’t like that but I do.

Its your car! - I really like the ride on mine with the 16" wheels (btw the new P7 Pirellis ride so smooth!)

However, I think long term it needs an upgrade. I'll likely keep it OEM - Maybe some early XK8 wheels in 17".
Although.... I did do some digging and any OEM Aston Martin wheels from the DB7 (for era) bolt right on... even have the same offset!

I love these. Aston Martin DB7 Wheels
