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. 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.
All this to say, these beautiful wheels can now be on your favorite ride. A direct replacement to your current wire wheels - keeping true to the original design and look, right down to the "Dunlop Patent Applied For" stickers. Available in popular 15" and 16" sizes, round and square hole alike.
These wheels are made to order:
