Either the wheels are to big or the rotors are to small. Not to my taste but just my opinion.

Love the color of your car. Emerald Fire?
Not digging the wheels though, sorry.

If you like them, that's what counts. For me, I'll stick with the 19" and wish for an 18" wheel to fit. Real world roads and streets have a tendency to eat these short sidewalls.

Design looks pretty good but I think the tire tread should be at least as wide as the rim. Even on my stock Toba's the tread is narrower and looks goofy from certain angles.

I am afraid the wheel tire combination shown here is wrong for the look of this car. Too "boy racer" with the short sidewalls and a tooth rattling ride

I think i t looks OK, just needs much wider rubber to fill the wheel wells and protect the rims.

You might want to talk to these guys, it might be possible these 18's would clear the 380MM brakes of your 2011 XKR. The barrel should clear, and as they aren't concave, the spokes I think would not hit the calipers either.
