As far as I'm concerned, it's precisely because they're chunkier that I'm not so fond of them. It kind of strips the elegance away from the Sentas. I don't care if the bolts on them are just mere decoration: these rims look great, period. No wonder pretty much all cars for the press back in the day had Sentas...

My #1 choice is the only one that matters - to me anyway… early F Type wheels brand new from the UK.



Not a fan of all black wheels but with polished lips these look fine as well.


I don’t expect hardly anyone to agree and that’s okay with me…

Are those F-type wheels Bi-Directional (both sides of the car they aim "forward", or are they all the exact same style for both sides?

Default F Type wheels

Like most examples I’ve seen, these wheels are unfortunately not directional.

And neither are the Honda wheels that look similar (saw some in a parking lot today):

“I don’t expect anyone to agree and that’s okay by me” stands as a very true statement… but I didn’t expect a tasteless comparo to Honda wheels either.
Its not like I’ve ever given you a hard time about the supercharger they forgot to put on your XK is it?
Then again, without any intended provocation from me, a veteran member called me a ‘waste of skin’. Very classy.
Which, sorry to say cannot be said about at least a few members here.
Bye now.

Say what?
Never said anything about you, nor intended to.
Just saying that Honda, with a similar design idea, didn’t improve upon it with directional wheels.

A vote for the Kalimnos, here! That said, all of the 20" rims fill out the wheel wells quite nicely!!

Today on xk150...I don't think they would look correct.

Default Xkr rims

I want to put 22" on my xkr . Will 10.5 s be too wide for the back ? What is the typical width of rear tires ?

Would you change your name if you do that? Like, 'Jaguarjoe' or something less...... cool.
Your tires would then be something like 325-15-22. Nobody makes those, and they'd be nearly impossible to put ON the rim. They also wouldn't physically fit the vehicle without interfering either inside or the wing/fender.

My point was you would need to lose the 'cool' if you put 22s on an XK.
These would actually fit the car, but nobody makes them. The inside clearance would be VERY close, the wheel opening lip should be okay;

I found a beutiful set but they are 22x9 front and 22x10.5 rear if i get same all around they should fit right ? Ive seen several xks on them and they look good im just not a fan of wheel well space .they lpok perfect on my xjr
