Default Updated my wheels

Purchased my '11 XKR Coupe this past January, lunar grey with ivory/oyster interior. The 20" Kalimnos wheels had been reconditioned, and although they looked good from about 10', the finish was beginning to dull on these areas and up close you could see where they had been ground on to smooth them out. Finding them hard to keep clean, especially with the repaired finish, I decided to swap them out for a set of 20" Takoba wheels that appeared on the face lifted XKRs. I think they work well on this earlier version, giving it a nice clean profile.

Looks sharp and is an easy wheel design to keep clean.

Ditto. Pretty crazy how a simple wheel change makes the car looks so different. Plus now you can get the originals redone and put them on for the next set of tires.
