Since the F-Pace sees the Jaguar badge being installed on a crossover for the first time, it's only normal for aftermarket developers to take advantage of the attention magnet effect generated by the move and deliver custom F-Pace incarnations.
Nevertheless, since we're talking about such a young model, the tuning approaches involving the jacked-up Jag are limited for now. Case in point with German tuner Startech's latest effort, which happens to target the F-Pace.
The Brabus subsidiary has recently played with one of these Jaguars, gifting the crossover with a set of custom wheels. To be more precise, the custom move saw the British machine receiving the tuner's Monostar wheels.
These use a five-double-spoke design and, interestingly, they don't come with a wild approach in this department. We can say the same about their size - we're dealing with 22-inch units here. This is the same wheel size that marks the upper limit for the standard rollers.
You should know Startech doesn't always use such a balance approach. For instance, another high-ground clearance vehicle the tuner worked on is the Bentley Bentayga. In the case of the Crew-built SUV, Startech one-upped the factory wheels, which range between 20 and 22 inches in diameter, by offering 23-inch units (here's more info on the topic).
Nevertheless, we expect the F-Pace move to be connected to the TUV certification this shoeing job comes with. After all, having receiving safety validation for your wheels from the important German body can be an important factor for your customers.
We're usually not big fans of fitting custom wheels to SUVs, especially since most such episodes do away with any offroading abilities the high-riding machines might have.
However, we'll make an exception in this case - as mentioned in the title, we have to admit Startech's Jaguar F-Pace adventure doesn't look half bad.
