Hey Matt:
The wheels are still at the Tire Barn waiting for my final decision on them and I haven't had a chance to even take a pix of them. They are 5 black spokes, with silver machined deep dish rims and exposed chrome lug nuts. they look quite elegant with my black jag. I thought I would rather have chrome rims at first but the black wheels seem more restrained and appropriate for the car. Hopefully I can post some pix on the car before long.

You know I started out with Tirerack and tried to order a set of wheels I liked and they only had two wheels left in stock because they were a discontinued style. I am familiar with tirerack because they used to have a retail store in Indianapolis which is only an hour away from me. But they have since closed that store. When they didn't have what I wanted I went to an e-bay seller (Nateswheels.com) to buy a set which they claimed would fit my car. Shoulda stuck with Tirerack :0(

You can always put them back up on ebay, then get the ones you really want.

I ended up ordering wheels from coventrywheels.com which makes wheels specifically for Jags for TSW. They are distributed through a national tire outlet. Can't think of the name at present. I should get them in about 2 weeks and will attach pix as soon as I get them installed.
