SVR Wheels Refurbished
Discussion
Well I stood it till I couldn't put up with it anymore . This Morning I dropped the SVR off at Supreme Wheels in Milton Keynes to have all four wheels refurbished . I dont have any kerbing but a few pock marks caused presumably by gravel being thrown up at speed . Both rear wheels have suffered but fearing colour difference I have elected to have all four done . Another issue has been the small SVR insignia on each of the wheels , incredibly Jaguar dont list this as a Part and any refurb means losing these decals forever . I solved this by going to a local vinyl sign writing business who from a photo and measuring up the decals in situ rattled me off 10 via their computer. They asked me for £20 , I dread to think what Jaguar would have charged .

The Wheels are Tech Grey Coriolis which aren't diamond cut and are amongst several wheel options fitted to the F Type SVR . I only put the Car in yesterday so dont expect her back till Wednesday afternoon . Supreme Wheels are owned by BCA , I have used them before so hopefully no problems
This company sells SVR stickers for wheels if required

I don't know if he runs an SVR but if so he will want the stickers to hand to the refurbishers . These will be put into position before the topcoat is applied .
These are surprisingly easily sourced locally if required from any Printer or Signmaker working in Vinyl . 15 minutes from pulling up with the Car till walking away with the Stickers .

I have a little part time job for a leasing company just outside Bedford and they use supreme wheels as do Mercedes.
Had the wife's wheels done there 2 years ago and they are still in great shape seeing as it's outside all the time.
I never realised you were so close , now I am getting as excited as you are over the prospect of that SVR you are after .Had the wife's wheels done there 2 years ago and they are still in great shape seeing as it's outside all the time.
Can't find one anywhere, so now looking at p575, maybe you can help me. Most of the later cars (2021) have crap wheels. I have found a set of tornado wheel which I really like, will they fit the later cars? Also looking at a car with yellow calipers are the wheels different clearances for ceramic brakes.

As far as I remember the Tornado will fit all F Types apart from the ones with Ceramic Brakeshttps://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=3687
This pretty much confirms what I was saying

Being worse than anyone for taking advice where the purchase of vehicles are concerned I often hesitate to give any but are you sure ? I myself bought a V8 R when I should have gone straight to the SVR , is the P575 with that pot ugly front going to satisfy that SVR itch ? Secondly this Convertible aspect , we both know you are far too old to be running around in a Convertible anything and apart from this they are notoriously hard to get rid of come exit time .Get down and have a go in this because I guarantee you that you will be thanking me if you do . What a Car this is , its to my mind the best SVR currently on sale in the UK and when I consider what I have just paid for a Vantage the bargain of the century .
