That's just nasty. It could only be worse if coupled to one of those aftermarket body kits that make the car look like it is dragging its skirts.

He needs to add fluorescent lights under the car (maybe some stringed LED's inside). That will make the thug wheels look much better.

That interior is rather special. This I know because it's just like mine.

That's a great color for the car particularly with the tinted windows. This I know because it's just like mine.

The price is a bit high. I paid 6 grand less 7 months ago. However, one expects the price is negotiable.

The wheels? Christ on a bicycle! It never ceases to amaze what folks do to personalize their cars. Maybe the buyer could pay extra for the seller to keep them.

Simply horrible..........and the speedo and tach are the wrong way round, just like mine!
If you can sometimes display them upside down way not reversable? Is it software or firmware controlled?

Can't believe anyone would actually "pay" for those wheels. Horrible visual effect, not even talking about the nearly total lack of tire sidewall. Might as well save some money and ride on the naked rims. Why bother with tires at that point?

Buy it and put the smaller wheels back on, (unless you want your teeth rattled out !!). Surely some comfort on a long ride is needed at least some of the time !! OK, 22" for the track; where is your nearest ?

in my opinion, the wheels are ugly, but it is not our car. the owner can do what he/she wants to do. plus it is not like a bad paint job, it is very easy to make that jaguar beautiful again with different wheels. TC

I wouldn't do it, but I don't think it looks bad at all. You guys are just being old fogeys. I think it would probably look even better if it were brushed aluminum instead of chrome.

A little too "gangsta" for my tastes to say the least of no rim protection. Would need to live somewhere where there are no potholes!

Without making any comment about the design of the wheel, 22" is simply too big for the car. The proportions are all out of whack.
