Two years ago, Jaguar set its sights on a younger, more mainstream consumer than it had ever targeted before. With the rollout of its X-Type model line, the manufacturer dropped prices, upped handling and threw in a manual tranny -- all in an effort to woo the entry-luxury demographic currently tossing pennies in the direction of Teutonic titans such as Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. The X-Type expands Jaguar's range of cars in a few noteworthy directions. It's the first Jaguar vehicle to boast an all-wheel-drive system. Called Traction 4, this system is somewhat similar to Audi's quattro, with 40 percent of the power sent to the front wheels and the remaining 60 percent directed toward the rear. Traction 4's rear-biased torque is supposed to give the X-Type a sporty feel, but ultimately, this is a car that prioritizes comfort over sport. Nevertheless, there is something to be said for all-weather capability. In terms of styling, the X-Type is as smooth and sleek as any XJ8, with rounded quad headlights, a Jaguar leaper hood ornament and a discreet chrome grille proclaiming its heritage. The X-Type doesn't have the singular glamour of its pricier siblings in the Jaguar family, though; from certain angles, it's disappointingly reminiscent of a Ford Taurus. Inside, each X-Type comes with leather upholstery and real wood trim, but if you start adding options like a decent sound system, the Sport Package or a moonroof, the price goes up quickly. Additionally, the quality of the materials in the cabin isn't up to the standards set by the Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series and matched by the Acura TSX and Lexus ES 330. The cabin offers a decent amount of room for four adults, though tight rear door openings can make hard to get in and out. The trunk, at least, offers a generous capacity of 16 cubic feet. The competition in the entry-level luxury sedan segment has only gotten tougher since the X-Type debuted in 2002. Most of its peers, both import and domestic, surpass it in all the important areas -- engine performance, driving dynamics and cabin accommodations -- while matching (or even beating) the Jag on price. Apparently realizing this, Jaguar has dropped the base price of the 3.0 model this year, but we doubt that will be enough make up any serious ground in segment sales.

We strive to continually bring you the largest selection of custom wheels and discount tires in the nation at the lowest prices. Not only do we offer award-winning customer service but we also have a skilled staff of technicians waiting to serve you with your custom wheel purchase. Our warehouses sell our rims at savings up to 70% off of list prices and 30% less than our retail outlets. You can rest assured knowing that all wheel and tire package fitments are verified with our technicians before ever leaving our warehouse. Unless your car has been modified, all fitments are calculated off of the stock specifications set forth for your vehicle. We use plus-sizing techniques to match up your new wheels to stay as close to factory stock heights. In laymen\'s terms, you wheel gets bigger and your tire gets smaller. If you are hesitant about a wheel and tire package purchase, allow us to mount and balance the set and deliver it to your door ready to be installed onto your vehicle. We use state-of -the-art hunter mounting and balancing equipment. When mounting we use chrome valve-stems, stick-on weights, and road-force balancing equipment. We shrink-wrap and package the aftermarket wheels thoroughly for shipping. All wheels and tires are insured during transit. If you are ordering wheel spinner adaptors, they are generally shipped separately from the wheel for safety reasons. While we rely on our repeat business from satisfied customers, we are always looking for new customers to add to our growing wheel clientele. Do not settle for one of these fly-by-night companies on the internet that will nott be able to promise what they deliver or provide service to you after the sale because they are no longer around. We have been around for years and we plan on being around for many more years to serve our customers. Just give us a call on our toll-free number!!
