Agreed. But I love that wheel. Hell, I will take the XK off the back of the one I picked up today. I like the back to be symmetrical. I have ordered a custom stainless steel emblem for the back. Pics to follow.

That includes car dealers who stick their name on the back of my car without first asking permission to do so.
Nevertheless, I like the Jaguar name and logos on my XKR since it reduces the number of people who ask me if I like my Maserati.
May wait on the wheels for now. These tires are brand new! Looks like I have a drivers seat issue. Seems to be plenty of threads about it. All motors work but the seat back will not come all the way up. To reclined for my liking. Looks like it will need the module flashed. I will call about that Monday morning.

Yes - beautiful car - enjoy it. I got very lucky on the wheels. Mine did have the 20“ sentas all around, but the front two were bent. I was about to have them straightened but then the dealer where I had the car inspected said they had four wheels (20“ sentas) that had been taken off a showroom car 5 or so years ago and were collecting dust. They said $1,000 for a pair or $1,600 for all four - and would sell me tires at wholesale. And those are Canadian dollars.
So, as you might guess, I have four brand new sentas on the car - plus two perfect spare sentas with tires stored in my garage that came off the rear.
Ha!! Too funny.
All my seat motors work fine. It's strange. The drivers seat will go back fine. When you press switch to come forward it's moves fine but just stops short of going to where you would like too. The passenger seat is great.

Convenient you have acupuncture and love stuff in the same lot.
we don’t really have a great wheel store in Birmingham. Plenty of 26’s. I would have to drive to ATL for that. What I need is someone with Photoshop skills!!!

The 10 spoke weight for weight can be more durable in the real world.
If it all possible, my advice would be to go somewhere where you can have the car nearby as you look at finishes on wheels.
