New Wheels, and a smooth driving car.. Finally!

So some of you have read through my saga of the broken lug nut, a destroyed stock wheel, my aftermarket 19's that caused a steering shake (even after a different set of tires), a replacement stock wheel etc...
So I found a set of Staggered 18" Vulcans off of a 2006 STR for a very reasonable price, with nearly new tires.
Took the plunge and got them in the mail the other day.
I bolted them on after work today. Looks great, drives as smooth as the stock 16" (if not better). I'm FINALLY happy with both the wheels (from an aesthetic perspective) and the way the car drives. Whoever spec'd the stock 16's for an S-type should be shot lol.
And I know I need to order a set of center caps... Will all the modern Jaguar caps fit all the wheels? Or are the caps wheel specific?
Here's a couple quick blackberry pics.

I think the type R rear spoiler, and window tints are next.
Just so there are no surprises as things pop up..
