Swapping out stock canisto's for these 18" Jaguar Aruba's. Going to refinish them and mount new tires before install and would like opinions on the wheels themselves as well as color options. At this point I'm considering bright silver on entire wheel or bright silver w/dark grey accent color similar to these Volvo Atreus wheels (which BTW seem similar in design, no?).

Here's a mock up of Jag wheels on my C70 and what they would look like all silver

Don't worry about the scary kitty on center cap, I have plans for her...

Wheel specs are:
18 x 7.5
bolt pattern 5 x 108
hub bore is 63.5 mm
ET 52.5 mm

I'll do a tech write up on how to increase bore size, stud swap,spacers and correct lug's to use for this conversion to work after I refinish and install wheels.

Those look really nice. There was a time I hated factory silver, now I like it a lot, so I'd vote to run them as is.

I have grown o like the bright silver and darker contrast... Love the safron! I wish they had a convertible with a black top in that combo...
