Hey Duke. I know I criticized you before but since then I've had a change of heart man. It's ur car, u pay the note and ur free to do as ur please. With that being said, I have to eat crow. The xf with the "right" 22s does look nice. And when u go for Vellanos with the brushed finish it goes very well. I will say that a car like this does look bad with cheap wheels tho.
I'm really liking the Vellanos(Brushed VSY). I started to put them on my xf 09 SC but I'm concern that if I spend the money on the rims, If they will fit on a 2012 XFR for example. I see u had no issues with fitment. I'm currently looking for a 2012 xfr but hasn't found one as of yet. I'm also concerned about what they will give me on my 09 as I really can't afford to be upside down so I may wait until I pay it off. But ur car looks nice man. I admit, I wasn't aware that the Vellanos was a luxury wheel, but now I know and want them myself.

I was able to justify it financially with the .9% financing, warranty coverage through 2018 (warranty was expired on my '09 and it had a few things that needed attention), and free maintenance.

Yup, I went from an '09 Supercharged to a certified '12 Portfolio. It is in many respects the same car but the upgrades were worth it to me specifically the revised headlights, the 5.0 engine which is just as quick and a little less thirsty, upgraded B&W system, upgraded MMI options and graphics. Plus I dig the Sport Pack exterior treatment (best off the shelf XF look IMO) and sport seats.

Someone recently posted relative performance stats on the XF range - see
https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...-years-114730/
While these are Jag figures and appear conservative, they are useful as a relative comparison with one another. They show the 5.0 NA V8 (385hp and 0-60 in 5.5sec) to be very close to the 2009 SC (420hp and 0-60 in 5.1sec) - but at least on paper they suggest the '09 SC is a little quicker.
I'd be surprised if you could notice that sort of difference though - and will depend on driving conditions and any deterioration as the car ages anyway.

I love the look. It gives it a hunkered down and mean stance while still staying classy. The wheels look like a satin finish from the picture giving it a very civilized and British look. I think it works all day long. Killer Texas cat.
