Mate, they can call them what they want, those still arent split rims whatever it says in the brochure you are trying to learn technical things from , the average 60 year old bloke buying a jag probably doesnt know what a split rim actually is, but a car enthusiast certainly should

They could call them "hairy donkey cock" rims if they wanted, but it wouldnt mean you had any hairy donkey cocks other than the one on your forehead.

I can confirm, that as an ex jag employee, they are 2 piece split rim alloys, similar to the ones fitted to VW's.

They are NOT split rims in the traditional sense, as the 'hoop' is one piece. The bolts are indeed fake though

Indeed, hardly a newsflash, you only have to LOOK at them to see that there is NO way those bolts are functional as the wheel would just fall apart.

All it is, is a normal cast wheel, with a bit of chrome shit stuck onto the outside of it

Doubt all you want mate, that is not a proper split rim wheel, its just a normal wheel with a chrome trim on it.
you can pull that bit of chrome off and still drive around on it, its purely a cosmetic (rather tacky TBH) addition, its not part of the actual wheel at all.

you two need to get a room

Not taking sides here, but technically Chip is correct, the whole point of a split rim was/is to allow easy re-sizing by bolting on different width sections, and to aid tyre fitment/removal....... Also, a TRUE split rim will have some sort of seal between the two or three sections as the tyre will be over the joint

And I also belive the term in gangsta land for 20" wheels is "rolling on Dubs" if I remember pimp my ride correctly?

play nicely kids

The other point of a split rim is to make them lighter, I used to have some handmade 3 piece split rims on my old track mini, and they were ridiculously light.

Where as Phil's have a heavy chrome lip stuck onto a normal cast wheel

if phil wants to prove chip wrong (or right) he could take a picture from the back of the wheel showing the back face of the spokes and the inner edge of the wheel (dunno what the tecnical name for that bit is!) which would show the join between the two pieces of the rim if they were infact proper splitrims.

...i just dont get it,the rim detatches from the wheel which ='s split rim?...Who cares if its not a proper split rim? ..I used the word split rim as that is what they are no bullshit

Chip you should phone Jaguar and tell them they are falsely advertising there wheels...oh hang a min..they aint though are they?

I can guess there reply would be

"Listen up Mr Tefal Head Chip,why dont you use some of your brain to actually realise people dont give a fuck about you your crew or your mamma,good day to you"

this is probably equal to posting saying "i just bought a mint cossie for £1500, 1 owner, 50k fsh!!! im a legend!!!"



then posting this:



yeah, its a 'cossie' but only to a sad arsehole who wants to split hairs, its not a proper cossie as such...

your wheels may have a 'rim' that can be 'split' from the wheel itself, but its not a proper split rim in the sense that the wheel is in 2 halves and is bolted together in the middle. ie if you take those bolts out (if they even have threads on them and arnt just stuck on) the wheel wont seperate into two pieces and allow you to remove the tyre like a proper split rim.
