X350 xjr wheels

[jacko10]

Hi Guys,

I've lurked in the forums for a long time but have never really posted. I've just purchased a 2003 XJR and absolutely love it in the few days I have owned it! However, it has the 19" ten spoke alloys which personally I am not keen on. Ideally I would like to purchase a set of the 20" callisto wheels but cannot find a set anywhere. Would anyone be able to help?

Thanks

This fella might have some for you.

I've done some business with him and he's a nice guy. Not the cheapest, but good service and reliable.

2003 was a change over year for the XJ, the wheel PCD changed from 120.65 to 108 which the wheels you are after actually are, you maybe lucky but you might still require a spacer

Thanks for the info guys. Unfortunately SB Wheel hasn't got a full set at the moment but seems like a nice guy so I'll wait until he does!

Jacko they look nice but I have done 3 tyres in 3 months on pot holes on 20 inch wheels and thinking of down sizing

If this is an X350 I recommend the 2x5 spoke 18" alloys - look good and enhance the car. The big alloys reduce ride quality.

I have the 19 inch Jaguar Custom alloys on mine ( 5 spokes), and they give a decent ride provided you put the right tyres on. The number of X350s I see on 100y sidewall rated tyres is crazy. Officially it should be the softer 96y and these give a much better ride. The car is very light for its size, so I think people just assume they need the stiffer sidewall. I have actually had arguments with tyre fitters about this... Only settled when I showed them the handbook!

Hear, hear. Look fab, totally impractical.

I have just purchased an XJR - third X350 in the family. Mine has the 19s, the other cars have had 18s without the sport dampers. I think my one rides the best!
