Eh, looking for a some new shoes for the jag this summer! Thought these looked pretty sweet myself! Wondering if the are an easy find or not! And fairly priced?

Those are the old chrome 'Turbo' wheel. They were first used on the 1969 E-types (if wire wheels were not specified) and the 1970-ish XJ6. They were very common at the time....many thousands of Jags had 'em in the 70s.

I wouldn't consider them useful or desirable on any modern Jag as they were all 15x6. Or maybe even 15x5.5 on the E-types.

Cheers

Thanks Doug! Well I have an unusual theme planned for the jag! Most ppl do big chrome rims and exhaust and such but I think I really wanna go for that one look that hasn't been done u know! Not even sure 15s will fit as I think mine are 16s and pretty close to the brakes! However would be neat! I may do some photoshopping and repost! Thanks again!

These would be another option! I scored these for free at the yard I manage and just set them beside my car for an idea

Cragar Smoothies could be another option, similar look, but might be able to get better sizing

No idea. You should be able to find them pretty easily though... everything's so much easier on your side of the world :P

One day I would love to own a black Series II running an LS1 and those wheels. Something to take on cruises and to shows, and leave the XJR for daily driving duties

also, a quick search on google should find you plenty of info on the car above. If I get time tonight I'll try to find some links too
