I prefer stock wheels so wheels on our own cars above...
XK Tamana as from factory except a little kerbing remedied by me on just one in the kitchen one cold winter's day - please do not tell my wife!
X Type Barbados all refurbed by me.
S type Monacos, disassembled by me, professionally refurbed with powder coated smoked chrome and new trim rings fitted by me. If you are considering disassembling your BBS three part wheels just ask beforehand in order to ensure you do not break any of the titanium bolts - it is sometimes all too easy. You might be lucky but there again, you may not. I have now disassembled tens of these and now have a system which minimises any chance of mishaps. The bolts are easy enough to replace but removing the broken ones is costly. Broken valve bolts are usually much easier to deal with but more expensive to replace!
Gorgeous! And here I thought I would have been the first with Forgestars on a Jaguar.
About the best picture I have as the only camera I have is my cellphone. Working on better pictures in the near future. These are 17x9" Forgestar F14's with 245/40-17 Michelin PSS's. Stock sport suspension needs to get completely redone as it is shot, LOL.
My previous Jaguar with MRR FS01's in 19x9" and 19x10.5" in the rear with Continental DW Extreme's. While I miss this car I'm happier with my X-Type - the XF was just too big for me. Thinking about trying to pick up a 2017 XE R Sport in BRG...
And my very first Jaguar with Work XSA's in 17x8.5" and 245/40-17 Toyo T1-R's - I REALLY miss this car. This had the stock comfort suspension but I replaced the front and rear sway bars and it rode incredible with very little lean in the turns.
Here is my 2004 XJR with Jupiter wheels from an XKR. I like the more open spoke design compared to the stock XJR wheels. Rims are 19 x 8.5" front and 19 x 9.5" rear. I'm running Goodyear Eagle F1 255/40R19 tires all around.

Reason: Additional info
Jack the wheel up and spin it or see if there is the slightest play when you wiggle it. Not the best way to do it though. Pull the wheel off and wiggle the hub for play.
