So the OEM rims on a Jag have the round badge logo thing in the middle, can it come off, and can I get another set of rims and put it on those?

Yep, easy peasy to remove and replace.
It just clips in and pops out, although it's difficult to get out without removing the wheel.
Once the wheel is removed you simply tap it out from behind with a suitable tool such as the butt end of a hammer.
Some have managed to remove it from the front without taking the wheel off but try as I might I have never even gotten close without big risk of badly scratching the wheel so I have given up and reverted to removing the wheel.
It will fit on another non-OEM Jag wheel no problem as long as the centre bore hole size/diameter is the same, which is 63.4 mm on the X351.

Thanks. Like I said, advice from the experts.

I received a set of Red growler center caps with refurbished wheels on my 2012. They were a different diameter than the Black ones on the original wheels. I don't know when Jaguar changed from Black to Red,
but check for compatibility when swapping wheels.

Yes they are plastic and I consider them a wear item. I have replaced mine at least 2-3 times. Just too cheap to worry about it with all the knock-offs from China.
