Default Can't hold it back...New member with new wheels on 2011 XJ :D

I am new here so take it easy on me. I just received my new wheels and couldn't be happier! I am not sure on forum rules so I will keep it as pictures only unless it is allowed. Please advise (I was on other forums before and it gets tricky in this arena)!

I will have better pictures soon so if anyone wants to join the photo session please let me know (regardless of what mods you have this is a personal thing).

Hope to meet you all soon (San Diego area)

Thanks! Any suspension work on your car or is it stock? On my car, there is a couple inches of gap in the wheel well. I want to drop it a couple inches but don't know if I really want to mess with the adjustable suspension. I'm guessing that because I have a supercharged car, it's the reason my car sits differently than yours.

I am actually looking into what options I have at the moment. The pics were pshopped so the car really doesn't sit that low.

Those wheels are magnificent. I was really glad to see your wheels were painted.

FYI: A pet peeve of this Forum is a Jaguar with big chrome wheels. Every time someone posts a picture of chrome wheels, they really receive pointed comments. Jag owners think chrome wheels are reserved for lesser automobiles--the kind that cruise around Sonic on Saturday night.

So any "real" pics of the car and wheels? Nice look though
