Depends on your objective. If you wanted to individualize/make different your car - you succeeded.
If your objective was to make it better - maybe not so much IMHO.
If you like it then it's all good.

Nice! I'm not much into aftermarket wheels or especially solid black ones, but your wheels look like they belong on the Jag so I think you did a good job of individualizing it without going overboard.

The look of the car, as it relates to it being recognizable as a Jag has been somewhat altered. That's not, in my opinion, an undesirable outcome.
I think your selection was good, those wheels "go with" the car and do not look over the top.
I have considered aftermarket wheels for mine as well. What has stopped me is the design of my Senta stock wheels is hard to improve on.
In summary, my vote...Well done.

I've been wanting to see a set of 5 spokes on an XKR. I especially like the color choice. I'm a big fan of practicality and the black is going to hide the brake dust. My XKR is the worst brake dust generator I've ever owned, and the stock wheels are a real pain to clean.
What are the wheel specs? (e.g. offset, width, rim size, and weight)

I am considering a set of 5-spokes for mine as well. I agree that yours work because you have a black XK. I have always been a fan of minimalism when it comes to wheels. They don't need to be overdone, you've already got an XK and that pretty much says it all. I think they're a nice, clean choice.
I see wheel designs as based on how long they'll take to clean each wheel. I am very thorough in wheel cleaning and a tough design can add 10-20 minutes per car wash. Figure 35 car washes a year with an additional 15 minutes; that's an extra 8 hours a year!
