Genuine Jaguar Parts - Alloy Wheels

Beauty is Just the Beginning

Genuine Jaguar parts alloy wheels use a unique aluminum and silicone alloy compound that provides optimum strength and durability. Detailed attention to quality engineering continues into the production phase, where all genuine jaguar alloy wheels are subjected to a detailed X-Ray for crack detection. Even if there is a miniscule crack in the rim, the no-compromise attitude to structural integrity means that the wheel is rejected.

• PERFORMANCE

  Genuine alloy wheels are engineered to precise geometric and balance standards. On Jaguars that benefit from a TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System), all genuine alloy wheels compatible with the system are designed to retain precise balance even after fitment of the tire pressure monitoring valve. All genuine alloy wheels also provide an accurate clearance from components such as brake calipers.
  

• DURABILITY

  An intensive development program is undertaken before approving a genuine Jaguar alloy wheel. The Jaguar alloy wheel is subjected to a punishing 12 week dynamic corrosion test. This analyses resistance of the alloy wheel to corrosive fluids such as cleaning products, brake fluid, fuel and other liquids varying in acidity and alkalinity. Alloy wheels are also subjected to thousands of hours of salt spray tests and UV (Ultra-Violet) light tests; both tests are specifically set up to monitor durability in harsh conditions.
  

• SAFETY

  In one of the more dramatic tests, the Pendulum Impact Test simulates curb impacts against the alloy wheel at its weakest and strongest point. The alloy wheel is closely monitored to check for optimal structural behavior that provides optimal safety and shock absorption for passenger and vehicle.
