Buying new wheels for winter tyres

Should I buy Jaguar wheels or non Jaguar wheels to run winter tyres?

Asked on 20 January 2013 by JohnH

Answered by Honest John
Jaguar doesn't do any steels for the XF, so I'd go for the smallest size they do, which are 17" as they will work better with the appropriate winter tyres. If the Jaguar wheels are ridiculously dear, talk to www.tyremen.co.uk
