Dayton Wire Wheels

Dayton Wire Wheels

Dayton wire wheels are a very popular addition to the Jaguar XJ-S -- in fact, dealers installed many, perhaps most, of the Daytons seen on Jaguars before the car was ever sold.

For years, the 15" wire wheels Dayton offered for Jaguar had 60 spokes.  These wheels developed a bad reputation, and Dayton later introduced a 70-spoke wheel for Jaguars.  The 70-spoke is supposedly much better.  Also, if you have a set of 60-spoke Daytons, reportedly Dayton will make you a nice deal to trade up to the 70-spoke model.

Matt Dillon sends this pic of his car with 60-spoke Dayton wire wheels:

John Tompane sends this pic of his car with the 70-spoke Daytons:

In this era of ever-larger diameter wheels, Tompane reports that Dayton is keeping up:  "In fact they have a very nice new wire wheel called the LW.  It has an aluminum rim instead of steel, and I just got a set for my wife's new X300 (rather new to us, it's a '95.)  Nice wheel and it is significantly lighter and stronger the steel wheel.  BTW, I have heard of problems regarding the 17" wires as used on XK8s, but I'm not sure whether it's the steel wheel or the LW."
