I'm looking to get new rims and tires for my 2004 Gray XF Limited. I'm starting with the rims first.
If I could find something like American Racing Torq Thrust, I'd buy them in a heartbeat. But there's nothing close that fits our cars.
So, I've narrowed it down to the ones below. I'm thinking I could use slightly taller tires in the back with 18-inch rims all around.
What do you guys think? Are there affordable other options?

 

I think the larger rim in the rear will give you a better look than a taller tire. The offsets are different also.

 

Yeah, I'd make sure to get the proper sizing.
These were the best I could find that are supposed to fit.

 

I have Touren on my car.

 

And they look GREAT!

Just saw these, and wondering if I could use 18-inch AMG rims and put a slightly taller tire on the rear to compensate for the speedo.

These have rough edges, but I like the design....

I'm just trying to find something nice without breaking the bank. It's not easy, considering the odd wheel sizes on the XF.

 

The more ya open up the wheel with fewer spokes the more the rotors and calipers show. Open up the view with those 5-spoke wheels and you'll be wanting the modern look of vented rotors and higher end calipers. For what those will cost later ya could look at higher priced rim options now. Personally, the car left the factory with a Matchbox Car look and Matchbox looking rims so going with fewer spokes really doesn't add much unless you're gonna change the rotors and calipers. Check out the photo gallery here and look at all the rims people have put on. See what may appeal to ya that offers more coverage of the rotors and calipers and makes the car really stand out. Just my opinion. I run stock with a little curb rash here and there as a daily driver and like to keep it original.

Good points... I hear ya!

That being said... would the below rims fit?
The offset is 30
They're reasonably close to where I live.
I know our cars run 19's in the rear, but I could keep the proper speedo calculation by using a slightly taller tire in the back.
What do you think??

I had those on my car when i bought it i didn't like the look. But you might.

 

The rims on the car do not appeal to me either, the rims on the trailer would look better I think.😜

 

I have the Mandrus Mannheim wheels and love the look. I painted my calipers since you can see them so easily. The gray on the wheels was almost a perfect match for the Graphite Gray.

ORL-XFR, I'm a purist but, if I were to change the wheels, those Mandrus Mannheim wheels would be my choice. Nice look, and they go with the Graphite quite well.

 

Nice wheels, worth posting twice!

 

Apparently I need to attend Posting 101

 

Do you have a link to those Mandrus Mannheim wheels? What off set where they and will the factor lugs work?

 

YES! Inquiring minds want to know!

 

I got them through Discount Tire - 18" front and 19" rear. I originally ordered them from another supplier, but at the time, they had a tremendous wait time. Discount tire got them faster and cheaper than me going directly to the mfg. The wheels came with all new lugs. I don't know the offset for sure, but I believe they are the same as the OEM wheels.

 

Looks great! I have been looking to have my SRT wheels refurbished but most say I should look for new ones. Which Orlando Discount Tire ordered them for you? The closest Discount Tire store near me is rated very poor too many time that I would not trust them. I would rather work with a store that is 1.5 hours away and knows how to order these wheels than work with the local store.

Thanks

 

The Discount Tire I've used for the last 4 years (since I moved to Orlando) is on the east side of Orlando at 330 S Alafaya Trail, Orlando, FL 32828. I've never had a problem with them, always courteous and helpful. Sometimes there is a longer wait, but that isn't too big of a deal.

I'd call them to make sure they will still order them. I had to pay for them up front, but I expected that as well. Four years ago, I think I paid around $1100 for the rims, TPMS and tire install/balance.
