My car came with the Orona wheels. I understand there are 2 variants of these wheels - Polished and Painted (Silver on spokes, Anthracite in center).
I see some Oronas for sale on EBay which say CNC finished. Was there a CNC finished option for Oronas?
Mine (Painted) look like they have painted (silver) spokes with the painted Anthracite center - definitely not machined.

Would appreciate any intel on this.

 

Something like these "diamond cut" ones: https://www.jaguar-shop.com/Orona-Black-20/en ?

 

I may have answered my own question. While closely examining the wheels for the first time off the car in direct sunlight, the castings indicate three versions of the Orona wheel -

1. "Anthracite" which is wheel painted dark gray
2. "Polished" which is polished aluminum; and
3. "Mid Silver + DC" which is the entire wheel painted Mid Silver with the front face Diamond Cut to show a machined aluminum surface. Hub remains Mid Silver

My car has the "Mid Silver + DC" variant which appears to be a pretty popular version of the Orona.

Thanks for the information. I recently purchased a 2013 XK Coupe (my ninth Jag) with the "Anthracite" Orona rims. I had the wheels off to clean them prior to an upcoming concours and never thought to take a close look at the text inside the rim. While the rims are free of any defects, it is helpful to know the name of the paint color that Jaguar used, just in case I need to try to match the color in the future.
