A question, after reading the revised rules for Driven class regarding wheels. As I go I learn things along the way, so help me out here...
Are non authenticity point deductions taken for having incorrect type of wheels fitted for a given model in a given year? Specifically, lets say a certain style of wheel, Kiwi, for example, was fitted to 1994 Vanden Plas, and another type, lattice sports was fitted to 1994 XJ12 models. Is it a deduction to fit the 1994 Kiwi wheels to the XJ12 when this model wheel was factory fitted only to Vanden Plas?
I understand there is no deduction for Chrome plating the correct wheel type.
Is this different in Driven than in Champion division?

Daniel,
You appear to have interpreted the rules correctly.
In Champion Division, the Entry's wheels must have been offered by Jaguar Cars for that specific Year-Model and their finish must be as delivered by the factory.
In Driven Division, the Entry's wheels must have been offered by Jaguar Cars for that specific Year-Model but the finish of alloy wheels may be as delivered by the factory or altered by polishing or chrome plating without penalty.
The new Appendix B of the Rule Book lists the best information available on which wheels were offered for which Year-Models. Corrections and additions to this appendix are welcomed. Change requests should be validated by data from the applicable Owner's Manual.
