Not sure your point first the tire rack has 4 options all OZ as our cars bolt pattern and offsets are not common. My question was what rims are used on the photo shop exactly , company make etc.... I want to know the exact wheel.

I've been checking out wheels also for my future XKR. I've checked out cal custom wheels and some other site I cant recall, but there isn't may sites for custom wheels for XKR's. Do you guys have any additional links for custom wheels? Or do you know a shop on the west coast where one can actually shop? Physically see the wheels before buying. That would be nice!!!

Try Saviniforged.com. I just purchased the SV 37s. Classy wheel for the XKR. The website has a huge photo gallery.

Very, very nice!!!! Did you lower it and /or have spacers? I really like the stance as well as the wheels!

Bklynchris yes these are 22's. I haven't lowered it or used spacers. Savini builds a custom rim for the car. The rims are a perfect fit. Here are a little better photos with better lighting for those who think they look too big.

Sorry for technical difficulties. I had to figure out how to reduce the picture size.

Problem with wheels that big is the car is raised causing a big gap between the fender and tire. With big wheels like that its harder to get that ideal fitment. Harder to lower it just right. It will look more like a 4x4.
To compensate for the raised effect, you need to add a body kit if you're going to keep the wheels and not lower it.

What do you guys think of these? I'm thinking the bright silver concave on black with red calipers could be nasty...

Those wheels are awesome! Almost made me a MB fan....LOL, not. I think they'll look great on a XK/XKR.

They look too aftermarket for me. Jag and MB both make such nice wheels, I couldn't think of how to improve their efforts.

I like the Vossen CV3. I haven't seen one car they didn't look good on.

I'm getting a white jag XKR convertible black pack in about 2 weeks and i'm contemplating keeping it standard or getting some aftermarket wheels for it, problem is that i live in south africa so i will have to import (very expensive with customs) . anyway i really like the vossen cv3 and the price is reasonable. I'll probably go 20'' if i do go with the vossen cv3. Here is some extra pics of the wheel:

Just an update on my decision. I dont really like black wheels on the any car but after seeing the xkr white with black pack, in person i must say it really looks good. So when i get the car i'm gonna keep it standard. post pics when i get it.

Guys, Vossen CV3's will not fit XKR. Won't clear the brakes. Only standard XK. I'm back to the drawing board. Whatever I select, it will take about 4-6 weeks. So you guys will have to stand by ;-)
