About the Product

Our Dunlop style wheel is a finely detailed re-creation of Jaguars famous racing wheel as fitted to ‘D’ Types and Lightweight ‘E’s.

The 1951 XK120 C, or C-type, was Jaguar Cars’ first factory-sponsored attempt at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It competed with wire wheels. The 1954-1956 D-type was modernized with a functional, new, lightweight wheel.

Dunlop, the famous English tire company, provided Jaguar with ultra-modern, lightweight, aluminum alloy wheels. These solid wheels were not only stronger than wires, but were lighter and virtually maintenance-free.

The D-type wasn’t the only car to sport Dunlop’s new alloy wheels. Donald Healey ran his streamlined, 100-based Bonneville, and endurance record cars on them. The 1957 Lister-Jaguar used them too. They were the wheels of choice for the 16 XKSS that Jaguar built in 1957. Jaguar also tapped Dunlop for their factory lightweight E-types; a similar wheel but with 10 squared ventilation holes.

Notes	For years, we have been providing bespoke Dunlop D-Type Alloy wheels to our restoration / recreation customers around the world. Our wheels have touched the hallowed grounds of Amelia Island, Greenwich Concours d'Elegance, Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, and even Goodwood Festival of Speed. They have driven the streets in Abu Dhabi, and past the Sidney Opera House in Australia. In 2025, the rest of our customers now have this same option to build the exact wheel they want/need for their car. 15" or 16". 5.5" wide to 7" wide. A specific backspace? No problem. Feel free to dream, and we will work to make it a reality. Email us your specifications, and we will respond with a price and estimated turnaround time.
