Official LS Picture Thread

[ATrom]

For those looking for a nice looking set of wheels that resemble the Jaguar Barcelonas, I present to you Niche M131. Their market name is "Targa" but I'm told they're simply M129, M130 or M131 in our bolt pattern because it is not regularly offered.

The set shown here are 19x8.5 with a 40 offset. I first tried fitting 18x8 with a 42 offset but I can confirm the 18 inch variant does not fit around the STR bbk upgrade. The last pic is the 18 inch wheel. I measured about .060" of clearance between the drum of the wheel and the caliper which I was told is too close considering the wheels being Aluminium. The wheel design to give it a false lip is the cause of this, the face is 18 inches but the drum is more like a 17 inch.

I like those rims. Who makes those?

I bought them from USArims when they sold them, they are no longer available.
Same place that everyone was getting the 20" replica Sentas from at the time.

I found them since here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LAND-ROVER-WHEELS-19-INCH-MACHINED-RIMS-/251282061068

I'd love to give the name of them to you, however they are a bit of a knock-off brand that listed as a Volvo, Jag and Lincoln fitment.
USArim's eBay storefront sold them as "19" inch Jaguar S Type XK XJ XF Silver Wheels Rims"

Member TrueBlu has a set as well, although he somehow got them from a vendor that had a specific name for them. Can't recall at the moment.
TSW makes a rim that looks exactly the same, I almost went for those but discovered the lip on the 19X8.5 would only have been 1.25inch

There is one more member on here that picked up a set, (don't recall who) he bought the non polished lip version if I recall.


As I said, they are a bit of a no name brand sold by USA Rims ~ SKU: JAG-270-19-SLV

pic of the box only reveals them to be model: M020

It's probably just the angle, but it looks like the rear rim doesn't have the same lip as the front??
