Who here has upgraded their wheels to f-type or other style?
That looks great, are you on stock suspension/ride height?
these are my favorite Rims by far. Mine came with the 19 chrome arturas, and I’m not a big fan of modifying cars. If I could get back in time, I would get those.
Had to go with putting my stocks back on cause i have a lot of curb rash and wanted my custom Lexani 22s painted a different color and they fit everything OEM with the bigger 22 size.I wanted this size for racing a 2021 Audi RS6 and it was the only car that inspired me to want the same size wheels the RS6 have that i had a tie with cause I beaten every sports car there is with my XKR when my XKR bone stock.Getting these rims changed from red to yellow.I'll post them here when i get them out the shop and put back on
I had a 2008 XK with 19" wheels and loved the ride. Now I have a 2013 XK with 20' wheels and the ride is noticeably harsher. Thinking seriously of replacing the 20's with 19's. Is there anything I should be looking out for?

If they are the 380 mm front brakes then 19" wheels (other than OEM F-Type wheels) won't fit over the calipers.
If your XK is an XKR then it has the 380 mm front brakes for sure and I understand the cooking XK came with 355 mm front brakes but could be optioned up to the 380 mm front brakes but rarely was.
Three ways to tell/check:
1. Just by looking at the front brake calipers, they are similar but different, I can pick them from a mile away (OK, call it 20 feet).
2. Simply grab a rule and measure the diameter of a brake disc/rotor, no need to take the wheel off as ball park will be enough to tell.
3. Check down the side of a front caliper holder/bracket, it will have either 355 or 380 stamped into it, but you may need to clean off some road crud before you can see it.

I fitted XKR-S suspension struts, the yellow Bilstein ones, so they're supposedly 10mm lower
probably would've liked it a bit lower but it looks good yeah, much better than OEM IMO
