There are a lot of manufacturers that make wheel blanks that then when ordered the bolt pattern and offset are finished in the desired dimensions.
i picked a wheel design based on performance rather than style.
High spoke count and cold formed barrel and rim.
Find what will clear your brakes is important if looking at aftermarket wheels.

Replacement wheels
Years ago I used 60’s era Chevy wheels on my Series 1 XJ6. I don’t know if they have changed on the later cars,however.
I had a flat yesterday and had to put the spare on. I was kind of embarrassed to drive it that way, but when I stood back and looked at it, the black rim actually looked GOOD against my silver car.
My existing rims have a little bit of curb rash on them, so I got to thinking about just replacing them with some aftermarket black rims.
Before I go any further, let me be clear. I don't want anything gaudy. I don't want to make the car look gangsta or ghetto. I just liked the look of the black rim against the silver car.
Which brings me to my question, doesn't Jaguar use a special bolt pattern? When I had my 2003 XK I remember people saying that it's hard to find aftermarket rims that will fit the bolt pattern.
Or... I could keep my existing rims and fix the curb rash using Chris Fix's method on YouTube, and just paint them black, but I think black rims look better with more space between the spoke so the calipers and rotors stand out
