Default Ghetto wheels?

Guys, my jag came with these ACE wheels. After a bit of looking at my car i think i came to the conclusion that I dont think they fit the look of the car well.
What do you guys think?
I think they are 21 or 22"

I personally try to stay from using terms like Ghetto or Riced Out but when I do think of ghetto, this is what comes to mind...


Looking the efforts from TAG Motorsports and Arden, your wheels look fine IMO. Everyone has individual taste...are they right for you? Only you can be the judge of that.

One must remain politically correct at all costs in order to be socially acceptable, and not be considered a racist, or worse (so much for the first amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which, among other rights, guarantees the right to freedom of speech).

Regardless, those big *** wheels with rubber band thick tires look really, really stupid, especially on a class car like the Jaguar XJL.

I am with John on this.

I think the rim design is fine, but the rubber band tires takes away from the whole image of the car. Step those same rims back to say 19's or 20's and get the appropriate size tire on the car and I think you would be very happy with it. Not to mention that the ride of the car will probably improve a lot.

Why not put either the 19 or 20 in tire/wheel combination that originally comes w/ this classy automobile and get another maybe old car to display the 21 or 22 in wheels, or sell these to someone else to be placed on a classic 60's or 70's chevy or ford, or mopar car.

The word "ghetto" describes a poor part of town. So are you saying that the car looks poor?

I like the stock wheels the XJ's come with personally.

I like them, though they are almost too large. I just don't like black wheels on white cars so it's refreshing to see a silver finish aftermarket wheel.
