They are 22", saw them on eBay and was intrigued. They look very nice. Listed as Black Cat lightweight racing wheels but I found nothing doing a google search.

It appears that Guille is correct, although the wheels on the car at the dealership is described as Black Cat lightweight wheels sold by Team Dynamics.

After seeing the actual wheel via a website......

XO Luxury Wheels - Barcelona

I have to agree......I am not sure why the dealer has them listed as Black Cat.

The XO is listed on ebay...

In my quest to find an aftermarket wheel for my 2009 Jaguar XKR w Alcon 6 piston brake calipers, I have noticed so many wheels that are identical. Case in point...

Braelin Alloy Wheel Bro2 from FastCo in Canada vs Ace Alloy Convex Wheel. I am sure these wheels are produced in Asia in the same plant then sold under different brand names. Can you tell any difference apart from each other?

Those look completely identical to me other then the lighting and angle. One thing I learned in my 3 month long wheel fiasco is that many of these companies are nothing more than glorified marketing companies sharing wheel designs and renting time on machinery to manufacture "custom" wheels. Do some serious research into the company before buying wheels, as finding wheels to fit these cars correctly is a challenge.

I have spent the last 2 1/2 months researching, checking with dealers, reviewing websites, ordered 1 set (Coventry Whitley 20") to only return them as they did not have proper fitment. It's been a nightmare.

You are correct as I have found out, the wheel designs are shared by the manufacturer to so many companies that want to place their own brand name on the wheels. Almost all of them are coming out of Asian manufacturing plants. Some of the aftermarket wheels are considered "custom" fit as they are sent blank wheels then the bolt patterns are drilled out.

So far, NO ONE has been able to supply me with an aftermarket wheel under the $400 to $450 price range to fit my 2009 Jaguar XKR 20" wheel w Alcon brake calipers. I even wrote to Jaguar USA who failed to supply any information, except to say "contact your local Jaguar dealer" which in my opinion..... they know nothing about aftermarket wheels and could care less even discussing them with you.

It's quite frustrating.

My search continues.................

I understand your frustration. Ive experienced this myself, which led me to get my factory wheels painted.

Check out Savini wheels. They did a good job of custom drilling and shaving my wheels. They may be able to provide you with offset and spec information for our XFs. Note, I'm running staggered 22s.

I had a similar experience with JagUSA when I tried to get the 08 XKRs. They told me it was proprietary!! I am not kidding. After several pointed questions to the rep, I could tell I would be getting nowhere with her. I emailed JagUK and within 24 hours got my answer. Might want to give that a shot.
