just wondering if anyone has seen or knows a link to a pic of a xf with black tsw jarama on it.. im thinking of buying wheels but want to see how they look on the car first... any help would be great.. i posted this same thing yesterday but put it in the wrong board...... thanks guys..

 

Personally, I think fake rivets or allen bolts are a bit cheezy and cheap looking. You should seriously consider the Petrol Octane or Mandrus Mannheim. They are made by TSW, but have the perfect offsets for our cars.

Check them out! Peter at Getyourwheels.com will pretty much beat any deal out there. He's hooked several of us up including Shade and my self.

Cheers!

 

thanks i will check them out.. is there any pics of these wheels on the xf that i can check out. i havee searching the web for days and cant seem to find any pics with wheels that i like....

 

ok i was just on tsw site. the jarama have 32mm offset front and 35mm ofset rear.. that is what is ment for our cars right? i looked at the wheels you said to, they are nice to, the offset are the same on the one you sudgested.. so any of them should be ok to install or am i missing something? let me know and thanks for the advice...

 

No, the rears take a 22 mm offset. Front 35 mm.

 

thanks, when i order them can i tell them what offset i need or do i have to keep searching till i find a wheel with the exact fit?

 

I have 32 front, 25 rear as does car_man_subaru and Shade. We're all running 19s and 20s though and do not need any spacers! Also, the car is lowered on Eibachs and Konis (see sig) and I drive the car normally without any rubbing. If you are going to do wheels, I suggest 19s and 20s because very few 18s and 19s look good on the car except for the factory wheels. Also, you'll probably need to drop it. If so, do it right! Get springs and adjustable shocks. It is worth the money and the car rides better than stock with this set up even with the larger wheels. Honestly, call Peter and tell him what you want. He'll tell you which wheels and tires will work with the car! His info is in Shade's posting below. I am not affiliated with his company at all!! I'm military, but he knows his $hit about our cars and all of us who have used him came out with the perfect look and no spacers required. He's done several of our cars. Call around if you want, but they will beat prices there!

Here's the link to Shade's car which is the one that inspired me to lower and go with larger wheels and tires: https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...=petrol+octane

My car is below so you can see the offsets. Hope this helps!

No problem, it took me about a year to figure out what I wanted. Wheels can make you crazy!
