Default What do you think about these wheels for my XJR

I have been looking at these wheels for my XJR , i was wondering what are your opinons on these. My choice in size will be 20" and the exact same color combination. My car is grey by the way.

This is just my opinion...
With all due respect. They are a bit too hardcore for a factory XJR, BUT don't get me wrong they look sick. If I were to get them, I would probably do something more aggressive cosmetically to the jag to match the flow... But at the end do what you like.

Do you happen to have a picture of your xjr?

Fila0220 , i see your point on the wheel maybe being aggressive for the car itself. I agree somewhat , i think its just a tadbit aggresive but not too over the top. It will definaltly say fast all over it. I will dig up some pics of car for ya. What about the color combination of the wheel ? Maybe if i went with all silver or brushed maybe that will blend in and tone it down . Whadda ya think ?

Wow, those are pretty radical, I think a bit over the top for your XJR. I assume you want 20's, same as your sepangs? If you want something 'original' but still factory, how about the 20" Selena wheels that are on a few of the XFs?

Yea it's defiantly the color combo. The design itself is really nice. Reminds me of a BBS type, which i forgot the model.

H20boy , The only oem wheel that i like is the 20" callisto wheels i really love that wheel but it is so hard to find a set in USA forsale. Now if i found a set of 20" callisto's forsale thats the oem wheel i would choose even over the forgiaot wheel.

Finish Line Wheels, either of you try them?

Did you see the Takoba wheels, looks like they're only in the UK also, a derivation of the Callisto. You need to partner up with one of our UK members, act as your agent. What's the shipping cost from there to here anyway?

The company are in Reading, Berkshire. Not far from London.
They are very helpful too.

Personally, I'm a fan of the 19" Custom style chrome Jag wheel. The US Wheel Exchange out of the Detroit area sells them for about $1700 for a set, or $650 for direct exchanges. I have this wheel in silver alloy, and it's one of the main reasons that I was attracted to the XJR.

IMHO, the Forgiatos you are considering for the XJR will look fine. They will impart an aggressive, sinister look. The XJR can certainly support that image.
