@sklimii - I have a set of 18" chrome double 5's I took off my 2002 xkr. They need to be rechromed but are straight and true. I'd be willing to let them go at a reasonable price if you're interested.

I use a product called Wheel Wax on my rims. It is not truly a wax. It does keep brake dust from gathering on my rims. I bought it from a vendor at a Brit car show. I was suprised that it works as well as was claimed.

I have been wanting the Whitelys but need to see about 19 or 20 in size. The pics I see with the 18s make me wonder if the sidewall is to tall? Need to see more side on shots. Cheaper to remount my tires vs buying rims and tires.

Default Side Pic :-)

Just took this, sorry about the high grass. It's cold and was starting to rain so couldn't get a better pic. By the way the tires are Nitto Invo 255-35-20s and 285-30-20s.

I'm using the Coventry center caps, because the paint matches better than with the Jaguar caps.

those look so nice.too bad, I cant have em, I had to put back on stock 17, because the potholes and roads are horrible here, I bent the rims several times and broke the belts in the tires several times, so they had to go, each required a tow and no one had the tires in stock

Anyone have any experience with these wheels? The price is for 4. The ad states they are alloys - but they must be heavy at that price:

Sorry, but for me they look like they should be on a 70's muscle car, not a Jag.

Agree with Vector on the gunmetal wheels. I had a similar chrome wheel on mine when I purchased it. They just don't look right.

Probably agree regarding the wheels. Anyone have any suggestions? I am only willing to spend $800 or less for a set of 4. 18".
