Still waiting. I have check sparingly due to the fact the car is at the shop getting some mods done. Last time I checked (2 weeks ago), my guy said it would be here last Friday but he hasn't called. Somewhat of a catch 22 as my car won't be done for another 2-3 weeks (waiting for the Anniversary Body Kit to arrive next week then another week to paint and install) and so if the wheels arrive now I won't be able to install right away....but on the other hand it's been awhile and I want to know why it's taking so long....LOL....so trying to time it right. Will definately post once everything is done!

BTW....I went with a simple and clean design. Also....my previous wheels has always had a lip so this time I wanted something different.

I wanted deep concave wheel and was looking at the DPE Super Concave 5 but at that time DPE didn't have the XKR wheel specs so I couldn't order.

This was the DPE I almost got with the rear with deep concave:


Another wheel I was also considering was the 360 Forged Concave Series:

Concave 10:

Concave 5:


360 Forged are nice but they are pretty expensive. I think my friend told me they retail around $5K-$6K for his wheels on his 911 Turbo. Here is my buddy's 997TT with his 360 Forged wheel:



I ended up going went with the Rennen Concave M9 with polished face and blacked out inner and sides. It's not super concave but semi concave so it's ok.

This is what it'll look like:

BTW....my MHT Wheels are still for sale. The Lexus guy who wanted to buy them backed out 2 weeks ago because with spacers, it will stick out too much (eventhough I told him that from the beginning).

I'm just selling the wheels only (without tires and TPMS sensors) at a new price of $1,800 for the set shipped within the U.S. They won't be available for another 2-3 weeks though....until my car comes back from the shop and my new wheels arrive.

In case you haven't seen them....these are the ones I'm selling: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=47782

Thanks Winny! I just hope it'll look as good on the Jag as it does on the Lambo and R8.

You might want to look into wheels....it's not as expensive as you might think.

LOLOL....these are forged wheels so they are one of the strongest wheels out there and also lighter than casting. Lamborghini also uses forged wheels in which their wheels come from their supplier Alcoa Wheels in Ohio....of all places.
