Want to up your game, and go chrome with your upgrade? These are the wheels.
Our Dunlop style wheel is a finely detailed re-creation of Jaguars famous racing wheel as fitted to D Types and Lightweight Es.
Authentic reproduction and quality aimed at concourse, racing, and restoration markets. The wheels include spline and bolt-on hub options and are highly regarded for period correctness. These wheels emphasize authenticity, rare accuracy, and catered craftsmanship.
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 wasnt the only car to sport Dunlops 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.
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, Type 42 or 52 Splined Hubs, round and square hole alike.
These wheels are made to order:
