Love the pictures. Easy to see why someone would stare at your ride. I am still getting my feet wet with this forum, but so far a great bunch of people with lots of info to share. You will notice different headings as you cruise around the forum. I have a 2007 xkr. At first I was looking in the wrong place for info. I am pretty sure an administrator will connect with you and direct you to all the right places to go etc. as you get started.

One of the first things you will notice is that having an XK is not like having another car. There are not that many of them built so options and upgrades are not a plentiful. It's a manufacturing cost thing. That being said some people on the forum have been trying all sorts of stuff and even going in together so something can be tested or made. The forum has different vendor partners you can check out. I just ordered some stainless steal mesh grills for mine. At first I wanted more performance and found the usual air/exhaust stuff. For me I could get a smaller pulley and increase the boost of my supercharger. I was surprised to find how difficult it is to get into the computer and tweak things as I did on my Daytona Charger or my Diesel Truck. I found great gains there, but alias my Jag is different. The more I drive it though the more I am thinking I don't have to increase the power much - though the sound of closer to 500 hp would fun.

Anyway, welcome, enjoy, and grab a coffee because you will find yourself sucked into to this place and it is hard to leave once you get hooked.

Your car has the 20" "Cremona" wheels made by BBS in Germany; not sure if OEM are painted or polished; chrome may be aftermarket. See:

Dave, you're right - after looking closer I agree that Chaos236's wheels are not Cremona. Here's a picture of Cremona - there are 3 currently on eBay:

Looking closer at Chaos236's photo, his spokes are wider and don't taper to the center hub. This looks like his wheels:


It's 19" and called Sabre and I think it came chrome from the factory. Several are on eBay:
