Salut, Hawaii, why not give a side on shot or two as well + low down rear view showing foot print?

They look good from the little that I can see.

I like the shape of the wheels at least far better looking than standard XJR wheels by far away perhaps a few lightyears away

It looks pretty sweet to me. they set the car off nicely

Hawaiian time, I can relate to that, over here if someone says that the meal will begin at 8pm, you can assume that, that means sometime before midnight.

Thanks Translator!
So I guess I will fill you guys in on a problem i'm having with the driver's side rear wheel even though I have a separate thread on the X300 forum...
Upon jacking rear wheel up & disengaging e-brake I noticed the wheel had significant play moving in & out! I took off the wheel and realized the Axle hub nut was loose by about a spin & a half!!!
I'm about to take off the Axle hub nut and inspect the bearings but I don't really know what I am supposed to be looking for... I tried just re-tightening the hub nut but it wont completely stop the movement when the e-brake is not engaged(perhaps because its a single use nut, but I want to make sure its not the bearings while I am at it, before ordering only the nut & locating collar)...what indicators would tell me the bearings might need replacing?
Any input on this is highly appreciated. I dont have much knowledge regarding axle/wheel bearings, etc..
At the moment the Jag is garaged and I really want to get this problem fixed fast.
Thanks everyone!
