Donk,

What size are the Blizzaks that you are putting on your stock wheels?

Sharp looking set of wheels.

Picked the new set up this weekend. The shop took some pics for Lexani and their site. Pretty happy so far.

You will hate miamijag, but my opinion is that the jaguar oem wheels are the best wheels for the jaguar which has the jaguar style in every spin

Donk,

So I picked up my wheels and tires and all was well. Last night I received a default code TPMS Malfunction. From what the owners manual says this is a fault with he sensors rather than tire pressure. I purchased new sensors with the wheels as I sold my stock setup. Did you have any issues with this? Does Jaguar need to reset the TPMS due to new sensors? Any help would be appreciated.

Sick, check out the thread on the Cost of TPMS sensors I started. Many of us are wondering the same thing about the coding of the TPMS sensors. Many of us are reporting in on their experiences with new TPMS. Your experience and input in that thread would add to the database and maybe we can figure this thing out.

Looks very nice but wonder if there is a lack of smoothness trade-off for those tires.

I like the size much more than those monsters I see on every car you can imagine here in the south.

I didn't have any issues when I originally switched wheels, and I just got my winters put on today (with new/used sensors from tirerack) and drive off without any dash/tpms lights on. The guy at the shop said he read it was self learning with our cars.

With that said, it may be a bad sensor. I got used sensors from tirerack for $15 a piece, and they had 4 more when I bought mine.

What did you use to clean them? Did you put any sealant, wax or other protective coating on them?

No, last wash and wax (about a month ago) I put some wax on them. This time just soap and water.

Forgestar F14's with 20x9 +38 front and 20x10.5 +45 rear.
That is a nice looking setup! I have another thread where I'm trying to figure out if wheels/tires I have will fit a 2012 XF Base. The fronts are 20x8.5 with 42mm offset and the rears are 20x10 with 39mm offset. That is awfully close to your setup. Do you think I would be OK with the rears? I don't want any rubbing on the fender, obviously.

Looks awesome! I wouldn't recommend lowering it because the ride will be pretty harsh with 20's already. I have an XFR with the factory 20 inch Nevis wheels and with the lowered sport suspension, it's a hard ride. You will feel every bump on the road and it won't be so forgiving over potholes or even small speed humps. I've had to have my wheels repaired 3 times this year alone.
