They look awesome !!
Are they hard to keep clean ?
Nice Jag... Head turner.
Very easy to keep clean, just a quick wipe over with detailing spray and a microfibre cloth. But that's with the low dust ceramic brake pads I fitted to the XFS ages ago, the XFR has still got the stock horribly dusty pads on it that I'll be changing for ceramic pads in a week or two. So for now it's a bit more of a chore cleaning all the brake dust off, doing it every couple of days instead of once a week. But it still wipes off really easily.
Those are my wheels! Looks great with the blue. The rear conventry wheels really transform a Jag. That 3 inch concave inset in the back is so impressive. Makes it look mean. Pictures don't do it justice.

The other good thing about these Coventry Whitley wheels, especially the rears, is the offset which pushes them out so they fill the wheel wells much more than the stock wheels, without the need for spacers.
I notice you have the chrome side vents. Have you thought about the chrome hood vents? Mina gallery has awesome ones I think they look really nice and with your color would look great. Of course just my personal opinion many hate the chrome.

Mark,
I'm a bit of a fan of chrome, I stuck lots of chrome bits on the old XFS, but I've decided not to do this on the XFR (other than the side vents). I don't think chrome is suited to the XFR as much as it was on the Vapour Grey XFS.
For the hood vents I have instead picked out the "supercharged" lettering with chrome/silver paint. In stock form it's hard to read the lettering, now it stands out much more without (IMHO) being over the top.
Bought this a week ago...1200 miles later, I am liking it even more.
'13 XF, Carnelian Red, aprx 17,000 miles, CPO'd, and just a nice place to spend time on the road.
My other cat in the driveway, just back from the body shop for rust repair, new headliner, bumper respray.
2000 XJ8, 120,000 miles, latest version metal tensioners, dual row primary cam chains, aluminum thermo housing and new thermo, new spark plugs, new coils-on-plugs, new Michelin Primacy rubber, rust removed with new metal (not bondo and prayers) welded in, new headliner, bumpers renovated, and ZF-approved-shop tranny overhaul.
Hard to choose which one to take in the morning for the work commute...but, decisions, decisions, right?
XFS = the higher tuned 3 litre V6 twin turbo diesel. 275 PS and 600 Nm v 240 PS and 500 Nm for the standard 3 litre diesel. Plus bigger front brakes (355 mm v 326 mm), active suspension, better seats and a few other extras as standard on the 2012 onwards models.
The diesel models and hence the XFS have never been sold in North America.

Thanks - I know how elusive the XFR-r's are and wasn't familiar with this model.
