Very nice.

Just curious, do you have your own tire mounting and balancing machines or easy access to them? With how many times you change wheels I would think that would get pretty expensive.

In my best Garth Brooks voice...

"I've got friends in tire places
Where the sidewall drowns
And the fitment chases my blues away"

OK they are starting to grow on me.. A lot. I might even start liking them more than the old sport technos just because they are an OEM Jaguar wheel.

I knew you would come around. Trust me, they are a bit better. The Porsche ones were cool, too, but OEM-ness and extra 1/2" width, clunkiness and fitment makes these edge the Sport Technos out a tad.

Edit: Rest-of-planet spec bumper strips are on order now, too. Chris at Mina Gallery is the man.

Hahaha, I knew you would get them! I was just going to order them, but the oem Jaguar aruba wheels are cracking on me like crazy! I just had them welded and they cracked again right next to the weld.

I like the XF-R wheels on it. You change wheels like changing shirts!

You going to keep the bumper strips chrome or wrap them like the current ones?

Had to post this: I found this pic when I was looking through my car picture folder from back when I was trying to decide between Volans and Sentas.. Clearly, I should be winning some type of award for my amazing photoshop skills.

Winning! Based on the awesome photoshop, I would have opted for Sentas, too. (but I still prefer my Volans )
