RE: Wheels for Jaguar XF Supercharged
Finally found some wheels for my car. Please let me know what you guys think. I want to do the same style of the wheel but maybe with a brushed and some black in it to make it really pop. Also what do you guys think about 22's? Too big? Not worth the loss in performance? Not worth the price v. 20's? I found a company named wheelsnext that sells the rims with tires for $5600 in 20" and about $6000 for 22"...
Here is the link of the wheel how I want it...

Here are the pics of the car with the wheels that I found in 20"... Need opinions its a big decision!!!

Hey torque, nothing against those wheels, they are very nice...but just doesn't seem to fit the SC Jag in my humble opinion. They look more like a touring rim, if there is such a thing. I think you need to find something more aggressive... says 'speed' instead of 'cruiser'. I have always been a fan of the 5 or 7 spoke designs instead of these multi-skinny types.
Maybe you can wait until Jag has the 20" Selena wheel. I hear they couldn't manufacture them in time for the XF release, but it may be soon. They are a nice wheel IMO.

Will those other wheels clear my brakes? The reason I'm looking at the AM Forged Nuovo's is because they are custom made to clear my brake and give me as much lip as possible. Are those the five spokes you are talking about? Im just a big fan of the deep dish look...

I suppose if you are going for the deep-dish (making me hungry here) look, then you will have less options, obviously. The spokes will have to 'curve' inward to clear your brakes and still maintain the deep look.
I like these too... but don't know if they fit or not. These were pulled off of the 07 XK8 fitment.

RE: Wheels for Jaguar XF Supercharged
It all depends on my bolt pattern if that wheel is available for me or not, cause the jaguar I was told is 5x108 which is an odd fitment. They would probably have to custom order and it would like like 6-8 weeks. That Tork Icon is actually one of the wheels that I was also looking at, they looked great on a BMW 6-Series...let me know what you think?

RE: Wheels for Jaguar XF Supercharged
Definately like the Tork better than the first thin-spoke wheels. I agree with mja ^, first ones were too busy. Also, unless the car is black, I think the grey/aluminum finish will match up better than the black/aluminum ones for all exterior colors. drop back by when you have decided on something. Would love to see what you end up with. till then --

Hey Torquefan1222,
What color is your FX S/C? IMO, the picture of the Jag just has too much silver between the car and the busy rims. If you did black, would it be the spokes or the rim itself? Be curious to see what you decide on - I've been looking for rims myself. My FX S/S is black on black so I'm looking to finish blacking it out with black rims (maybe some chrome around the rim).
Good Luck,
Tommie

Mine is Silver just like the picture. I definetly agree that if you have a black car you should get some black in the wheels. It looks really classy and clean. You looking for 1Piece or 3Piece? That is the big decision that I have to make. The Tork Icon wheels can be custom ordered for me and they are half the price of the AM Forged wheels, but the AM Forged are 3Piece and forged made custom for my car...

RE: Wheels for Jaguar XF Supercharged
Just wanted to add to this string by noting that I am also looking for Chrome Wheels (deep dish preferrably) for an XF SC. Will XK8 20" wheels fit this car?
For the record I think less is more in the spoke department as well. My XF is Midnight Black and am looking for something classy and shiny to step it up a bit.
Any input or suggestions would be appreciated.

Digging up an old one!
I know the thread is a couple of years old but did any of you ever get 20" or even 22" wheels? I am looking at 20" since I thought 22" would rub but the dealership service guy just told me he has a customer with an XF and 22's and it doesnt rub!!
Any advice and pics would be greatly appreciated.

XF Supercharged Wheels
There are a lot of older posts in here but I'm wondering if anyone has found a set of 20" aftermarket wheels to fit a 2009 XF Supercharged? Seems to be a tough fit with the 108 bolt circle and staggered front & back. If I find one then it turns out the offsets are wrong. Also have had a lot of non replies to inquiries so I assume they have nothing that will fit. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Factory Wheels XF SC Chrome Plated
Hello,
I just though I would share a picture of my newly chromed wheels. These are the Selena wheels that came on my 2011 XF SC. The painted wheels were torture to keep clean considering the generous amount of brake dust given off by the XF.
These wheels were done by Paramount Wheels in Santa Anna, CA (Fabian Mauri) for a very reasonable price. It did take 2 weeks (I had my car on blocks in my garage) due to a problem with equipment in the factory. I had wheels done for my BMW and the turn around time was 4 days, so when everything goes right, the process is pretty painless.
I am really happy with the wheels and the picture really does not do the chrome wheels justice.
I did consider having the plastic chrome piece that is in the center of each group of spokes painted black. But then I got to thinking that it would just disappear into the wheel leaving the look of a blank space, so I chickened out on that option. The plastic pieces do match the rest of the wheel perfectly and the only way to tell that it is plastic is to tap on it and listen for a more hollow sound.
