No,the XK/XF-R come with different,but equally beautiful six spoke wheels 20 inchers.

OT- I see you're urging everybody to jump the Buckethead bandwagon!

Oops! I really need to know my Jags a lot more than this!

OT: Oh yeah! I'm spreading the word!

Agreed, those wheels does look awesome.

Check the Cal Chrome site for some details on OE rims they offer Chrome plated. I believe there is no other car that carries off chrome more gorgeously than the XF.

California Chrome Wheel - OEM Chrome wheels and rims for the Jaguar XF and XFR luxury sedan.

Do, check some Project Kahn's too. Nothing beats the visual drama Kahn's give. GC might be an issue though.

And, if you really wish to go MAFIA !

Wow those rims looks nice and totally put the gangster idea forward but the profile is a definite no no for the Indian Road conditions.
And the way this Jag is enjoying , hell no !

shamik.bose · 25th May 2010, 08:59

Those wheels are fit only for a Hummer. They fill up the wheel well way too much! I think some RS4 style wheels would really go nicely with the XF

Kahns do look great but these particular ones look rather over-sized IMO. But Scorchy, how would GC be an issue? It's the wheel that's more prone to damage because of the 'rubber-band' tyres!

I'd stick with the XF-R's wheels or the Selenas!

@scorchy: those rims are HUGE! i will have a broken rim or a broken back if i put them on my car!
@suhaas: i am not getting any rim as of now maybe later this year, i dont want to put 20's on, 19's yes! was thinking of the bbs lm-r diamond black edition!

CliffHanger · 25th May 2010, 11:51

While I was excited to watch the second video, I also felt that it is not wise to do such high speeds in those roads. It could turn fatal for both the occupants of the car and to the pedestrians. There is always a surprise awaiting in any Indian roads. Just want to put a word of caution as I see a lot of luxury car crashes in India.

Now that's what I'm talking about! BBS LM-Rs!

Do consider HRE P40s as well!

does jaguar accept this, or will the warranty be void?

arjunrudra · 27th May 2010, 06:29

I'm not too sure about the BBS rims but changing them to Selena's wont affect warranty as they are a option on the Jaguars.
LM-R's look great worth a try.

And Varun this is your 100th post on this thread!
And here is something special :
