My custom version of gyrodynes with some flavor of the exposed fasteners I like on the oem black wheels
(post#12 above, last photo). There are two gloss levels of grey. I wanted the inner barrel black but I couldn't get a third color. I think these would do the trick and improve your handling. Biased of course.

Question Black or alloy wheels?

I don't know if Corris Grey qualifies as Dark Grey, but I had the Satin Grey OEM'S, powder coated Black, and love them Black! That's me, you may feel different, and that's what counts!



Satin Grey Wheels





Black

Default Oem wheels

It’s very hard to find wheels for the coolest car ever made I have a 2007 xk and my wheels have some scratches not to bad but it bothers me so I started looking for wheels online and I found some I asked my brother and he is old school he sed I like the oem makes the car look good if you keep it original it’s adds value. I still like to change them [img]blob:https://www.jaguarforums.com/06a192e4-7b5f-4917-aa3d-98def0454f69[/img]I have chosen



Good luck finding the wheels you like

It's obviously a matter of personal taste. IMO, the black wheels (both color and design) detract from the appearance, whereas the Diamond-cut grey Gyrodynes are a perfect match for that car. Optimally, all the chrome bits could be color matched to the car rather than blacked out, but black is good.
