the back are 285/ 35/r20, and the front are 255/40/r20. From what I was told, these rims aren't staggered.

Do you have a contact for these rims?

And you're right tarhealcracker they do look alike. I have a spare Double 5 spoke rim in my trunk, that the car most likely came with.

I love the rims, but have not seen them on eBay./ Know the sellers contact info?

Thanks,

Keith

Hey Keith,
In ebay I typed "jaguar 20 rims" I have the following link, but its in chrome, but I had to call them up and tell them my car to make sure it fit, and I asked them for the silver finish instead of chrome.

link-im not sure if its cool to post links but here it is)

Beautiful!!

I have been looking as well at the same setup (except chrome). Just to be sure, these are the staggered? no problems with rub or caliper clearance?

Marcdiego thanks you much!!!

Wheels look very classy. I'm impressed with them. Good look.

I have never used my car with the T/C off. For me, these sleds are all about the 2K-4.5K thrust jaunt, from around 30mph to 90-100mph, control shifts manually. Wheel spin seems somehow out of character. Smooth application of power is what this car is meant for. Burnouts are for 'Stangs.

Jaguar has pretty much mastered wheel design. I think they hit the target more on their designs than any other brand of car.

I like the wheels on your car.

Those wheels look excellent. The black with window tint is very classy looking.

What type of tires did you choose? Are you happy with them?

Those are the same 20" rims I'm buying for summer wheels on my Vanden Plas! I bought some Mina Gallery caps to make mine a little more unique, but they look fantastic. Very classy!
