Best Wheel For XK - Mesh, 5 Spoke, Flush, Deep?
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
So I've generally loved a deep reverse lip wheel on my cars when I go aftermarket. What's nice about sites like execstudio.com is that they provide links to all the key custom wheel mfg's with pics.
BUT, there a ZERO XKR's in any of the pics... So we have to try to visualize how our car would look best. I'll have to seek out Aston pics and see what look works best with the lines.
What are your thoughts?

I've always liked the look of mesh, but I hate cleaning them. What I'd like is a nice clean concave wheel with about 7 spokes. Enough to have a little class but not so much that I take forever in cleaning them out. Failing that, I think I'll fall back to a 5 spoke myself. Probably in an anthracite/black chrome type finish.
But you're right -- there are not very many XKR owners swapping their wheels out. Or at least taking pics of it afterwards.

My 1st set of wheels for the jag were reverse lip as I saw them on an AMV8V. I then switched them to semi concave wheels last Spring.
This was the car I saw the wheels on an AMV8V and so I got them:

Here's another wheel I just bought for my Range Rover and installed this past Friday:

I'm partial to 5 spoke, reverse shiny lip, brushed center. Many companies make wheels as described. You mentioned D2. I like several of their offerings. Others I like:
ADV1
Modulare
Vellano
Cor
DPE
There are a few others I like but these I like a lot. I'm leaning toward DPE for my next set. They have ben around quite a while.

Really like the style of your current wheels Ghostrider. I'm not usually one to replace things on cars, but when its time for me to replace tires I may think about doing something in a similar style. I have the "base" wheels on my XK and man are they a pain to clean. Since I prefer wheels with a more open look to them anyway, it might be worth the upgrade.

So since there are few pics of XK's on aftermarket wheels I've been noting other GT cars like Aston, 6 Series, SL etc. to see what looks good on them; some "muscular class" is what I'd like to call it.
Here are some I'm thinking about:

The latest concave thing kinda bothers me a little though. Never been into following fads and you never know how long they will last.
With that aside, all your choices look really sweet and will take the car to another level. Wheels like these will keep the car fresh, as well.
I like your style.

Since what I like is not really important, opinions on how the wheels look on the car are called for here.
They do look good on the XK. Mesh are both sporty and luxurious, matching the XK's persona perfectly.
