**Chuckster** · 12-22-2005, 10:23 PM

TRUST ME WHEN I SAY THIS(or type) DO NOT BUY AFTERMARKET WHEELS FOR JAGS CUZ FIRST OFF IT SOMEWHAT HARD TO FIND THE SAME LUG PATTER SECOND I HAVE SEEN MILLIONS OF STYPES WITH DIFF. SETS OF WHEELS AND STOCK WHEELS HAVE ALWAYS LOOKED BETTER AND B/C OF THE SET UP IT CAUSES ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS

oh yea i work at jag. A few of the tecs have told me that aftermarket wheels cause problems forget why i'll ask tommorow

other then that GREAT choice in a car, bitch is quick. Chip and exhaust = 12second and car and HWY champ

**Chuckster** · 12-22-2005, 10:25 PM

Thanks Bro. I apprieciate the input. Let me know what they say about the wheels. Worst case, maybe "black chrome" the stock wheels.

I can't any info on a chip but i'll keep looking. I'm not sure that there is enough out there to get much more than 450-475 HP out of it, but it will be fun trying.

Yea, all black theme is the way I'm going. I'm looking for a place to "black Chrome" the grill ASAP.

I'm not feeling a body kit but thanks for the thoughts.

ALso to me that car does look nice with that body kit on! Sooooo...

**Chuckster** · 12-23-2005, 07:45 PM

aigh so here is why aftermarket wheels on jags are not good. Because they are not hub centric, so no matter how many o rings or spacers(shit forgot what he called them) you put on them they will always have heavy vibrations at about 50mph. No an alignment will not fix them. So there you have it. but if u dont car about a smooth ride then shit wheel that motha fucka up

**ironchef** · 12-23-2005, 07:53 PM

Wow low 20's for an stype-r? How is the reliability on those cars?

**Chuckster** · 12-23-2005, 08:07 PM

^^thats my price dude

for you prolly like 28gs

pretty good unless you liek to beat the shit outh of them but they do come with 6 year/ 100k warrenty. And jaguar does have the best covered warrenty. Got awards for it for the past 3 years

**Boosted S60R** · 12-23-2005, 08:25 PM

Happy Holidays to you and your family also ken

**Buford®** · 12-23-2005, 09:03 PM

Damn. I'm jealous. That's a hot car, man. I've been drooling over those since I first read about them. Congrats agian.

**Sirius R** · 12-23-2005, 09:53 PM

Thanks guys. I apprieciate the thoughts of good luck.

Yea, I've heard of Jags having issues with aftermarket wheels and the need for "hubcentric rings" (sp?) and people having problems after changing from stock.

Thanks for talking to your crew about them. Like I said at the start of the post, I never thought that I would own a Jag but having having a group like this toss in their .02 helps. Thanks!

Oh yea, 28 G's for a "R" is still a hella deal..someone should swoop that up. If you can afford the up keep, it's a way fun ride.

Thanks Guys!

Merry Christmas!

"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Chuckster again." Sorry Bro. I owe you.

**Julio** · 12-25-2005, 01:05 PM

Very nice.. R jaguar's is the only way if you going to own a JAg.. congrats

**Chuckster** · 12-25-2005, 02:45 PM

5 speed x types w/ sports package aint bad. Drop a SC kit on them could be a sick ass car

i also like the 4.2 V8 6 speed stypes. You have to order those

So it is possible to get a manual tranny? I thought only the X's could get a manual?

**Chuckster** · 12-25-2005, 11:49 PM

since i have worked for jag we have had 2 5 speed stypes and one was ordered by a customer. XK and XJ 5 speeds are not sold in the us

So theoretically if he were to get something along the lines of DPE, Iforged, Jline, Forgeline, etc (the custom wheel companies) who make thier wheels hubcentric and vehicle specific he would be okay? That would be assuming he has $4-5000 to spend on wheels and tires, but im just curious, i mean a lot of cars need hubcentric rings. Both my 18s and 19s needed rings, but no bad results...or is the Jag just REALLY sensative?
