New XJL SC Owner (Bay Area)
Hey guys my name is Johncy. I just picked up this 2012 XJL Supercharged in Black with Ivory interior. So far I have installed K&N Filters and a Mina Gallery Exhaust w/ Xpipe. Ecu Tuning Group will be tuning my car next week along with the pulley. Also upgrading the wheels to 22" Forgestar F14 in Gunmetal 245/30/22 and 295/25/22. Glad to be here everyone and am excited to learn from all of you! Cheers!

Wow, your car could be called "Black Beauty"; very striking!
As an engineer I can't endorse K&N filters unless for sound effects, just like Mina Gallery Exhaust with cross-pipes.
Likewise, I too would love to see any documentation that their is a significant improvement before the ETG pulley and tune, as far as I know this has never been provided by anyone.
I guess "upgrading" is a subjective term when putting 22" wheels on a car that normally rides best on 19" wheels. I hope the roads in the Bay area are as smooth as a pool table top.

As for the 22s, I just want to fill the wheel well gaps and give the car a more aggressive stance. Here in the Bay Area, there are Tesla Model S all over the place riding on 21" wheels from the factory with low profile tires. Roads aren't too bad unless your in downtown SF.

Don't listen to these old men on here...LOL
22" wheels are so perfect for this car, in my case Forgiato's, that if I had to go back to the oem 19's for any reason, I'd literally sell my car and buy a Tesla. My 22's are the reason I love my car, not just like it.
You're doing it exactly right! Go with your instincts.
The first pic is the wheel on my car, the second was a wheel I saw on a black XJ at the dealership in San Jose that I thought looked ridiculously good. It was an Asanti 806 that was all black with brushed spokes. It drew a crowd.
