Right, Dont crucify me but if you decided on modern have you considered Rota grids, In the right colour i think they could look spot on?

Nobody gets crucified on my thread
Hmm I think they look more modern than even the current ones and have too many gaps for a car with in board brakes

I was surprised by how bad the Kents looked in the mock up above, as usually I like those wheels (they look good on an XJS), but maybe, as someone suggested above, the extra size doesn't suit the design.

Rota grids.....there are no (inoffensive) words.

^^^ We are just chucking ideas around

That blue car with the 17 inch wheels on it isn't a mock up its a real car built by Miles Classics. 30 grands worth of real car too

Speedlines are available in 16" Quite subtle. Ive got a brand new set of these in 15" stashed away, Torn between these and Kents when it comes to Jag alloys.

What about the later XJR wheels. 17 inch. Can use 235-255 tyres.

On something like a pimped-up Supra, maybe.

On an XJC? No. Just... no.

[klunkT5]

As i said, Don't crucify me, The fact ive got a set of Kents and/Or Speedlines for my S1 dictates my taste..

or get cars to suit both sets

Something about the re-manufactured Kents dont look right somehow, maybe the stretch on them make them look awkward, shame really

^^^^ Speedlines. We are discussing alloys that suit old Jags, Was'nt aware of genuine jag alloys being available for the S1 at the time of its launch?

Most probably got bored of dissing threads on GG...

Found somewhere in London that makes bespoke wheels. Thought I would message them on facebook.... check out the outstanding customer service from a company that charges minimum £1400 plus vat for a set of wheels

Nothing like honesty I suppose! That really is terrible though
