Tony Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 The Jaguar 18", 19" and 20" wheels have a chromium hoop around the front face. the chrome is as soft as butter and easily damaged. Not only does this look pants it's also a MOT fail under the "protruding sharp surface, pedestrian hazard section". BBS who make the wheels for Jaguar do not sell the hoop's separately so wim has them engineered as an alternative to scraping the wheel. Pictures of the same wheel above Costs New wheel from Jaguar £634+ vat New hoop from wim fitted £260+ vat Please form an orderly que Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthiban Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Nice job, definitely better than getting a replacement wheel Although why can't you just remove that hoop and polish the edge of the wheel (which is actually what I always thought they were) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
