@Jacob Martin - Based on others observations of ride quality when air pressure levels are more reasonable, I might be interested in your set. Is there damage to any of the rims? What price point are you offering them for?
I am getting ready to buy a new F-Pace and may simply get one with either of the stock 20s rather than pay the large increase for the turbines that Jag wants. I would not want the Pirelli's as I would put a pair of AS on them so I'd be interested in price with and without the rubber on them. Please PM me details and/or options
The choice between summer, all season or snow's is an easy one for me. I live in NY so we get snow and more importantly ICE!
I lease so after 3 years Im always stuck putting new shoes on my car so I don't get raked over the coals with OEM cost tires when I turn it in. So now I always buy winter tires and switch back and forth between the sets. In the winter I don't slip and slide and now when my lease is up I still have plenty of rubber left on the original tires when I hand it over.
Leased two VW Touareg's (Great SUV!) back to back and still have the Pirelli snow and ice tires and still have them.
In short a good pair of snows can be a life saver when road conditions get tuff. A good investment in my opinion while also extending the life of your summer or all seasons.
So I have had a few people ask me about my 22" turbines. First reasonable offer and they are yours. If not I will have them changed to black as I just dont care for the chrome look.
Oops...did you say "chrome look"? Didn't see that, I guess that means there chrome plated turbines. Nice wheels and very expensive, not sure those would be a smart choice for snow tires.
Hi Jacob, did try to send you a PM but don't have the 15 post needed to do so. On the other hand i did get your PM and you only have 2 post....not sure how that works???
Anyway I am interested but only looking for wheels with no tires. Looking to have a spare set for snow tires.
Anyone know if the first edition 22" wheels can still be bought from the dealers and for how much? I may be buying a FP 3.0 Premium and will want to try to get closer to that look of the first edition wheels(turbines?) on that blue car that was smoking hot!
The following refers only to F-Paces purchased in the USA. The "stock" wheels on the First Edition are gun metal grey Double Helix 22s. The 22 inch Turbines cannot be selected by FE buyers because there are no options to select for the FE. I don't know the wheel options for Premium variant buyers. You may be able to select the 22 inch Turbines. You may also be able to select 22 inch Double Helixes, but not in the gun metal grey color. See what you can do on the configuration site. You may have to move to Prestige or R-Sport to get what you want.
Or for what it costs to upgrade to the turbines you could get a set of flowforms with summer rubber for less. Then keep the stockers for winter/resale and at resale time sell the flowforms for a good chunk of what you paid. This would allow you to avoid the performance robbing 22" wheels and make the switch to gunmetal or a number of other colors if you're feeling frisky.
Still have these, one took a dig from some debris or something. 2000$ for the set as is. I have a guy that can repair and polish all 4 or change the color for around 500$
My 22: Turbines need a new home. 2000$ obo. One received a easy to fix nick, (not sure when or how) pic incoming. Getting a new vehicle so I wont have a need for these.
