Tim, welcome to the forum! As a first time user it may be useful to post your MY engine size (mileage) and colour in your signature for people to give the best advice...will also help should you need advice in the future
Back to your question....the usual places, such as ebay and forum 'for sale' items
You've not said your spend or desired colour/design...which may help?
Ebay works for me
Assuming a staggered set it may pay you to get fronts and rears from different sellers as a matched set of 4 seems more expensive (in my case at least)
By way of example here's a set of Vulcans on ebay (albeit the UK so not applicable to you)
However, I bought mine from different sellers, both sets refurbed to a high standard and less than half the price of a matched set in the above link
Also picked up a single spare vortex front wheel for £300 inc P&P (also in pic above) whereas the cheapest full set I've seen were £1800 plus £80 P&P...so it helps to shop around
Take into account the cost of centre caps and also TPMS sensors if your car has that feature.which will add to the cost by $200 or thereabouts
Good luck
PS: Try to keep them jag originals, here in the UK if I were to put a set of aftermarket wheels on it would affect my insurance, not sure if they care stateside?

Nah, nobody over here cares about OEM wheels or not. UNLESS, that is, if you get an INSANELY expensive set of wheels and add them to your insurance as a caveat.
In the USA, the most popular modification is change the wheels. Lots of times within the first few days of buying a car. HUGE market for wheels over here.
The "keep it OEM at all costs" reasoning doesn't mean a durned thing.

Same in Sweden, it's even more easy to sell a car with nice aftermarket wheels!:-)

Well you've sort of contradicted yourself as the OP is looking for alloys for a 2010 XKR...which of course will be 20's
It's nice to be right!!
Nope, the OP doesn't say he wants OEM wheels!
If I would be looking to buy a car and am choosing between 2 identical cars I choose the one with the nicer wheels, OEM or not!:-)
I'd say most people look at the design of the wheels rather then if they are OEM. Maybe the difference is in the UK you pay more insurance for it
and that's why OEM is more important.

But crucially he's also not said he doesn't want OEM wheels
So come on Peter you've not said which aftermarket wheels do you have on your ride...since you're such a fan of them??
Don't get be wrong I'd happily have a set up black Oz Ultrleggera's on mine as imagine they would come up as around 20lbs/8kg lighter than any OEM rim and the unsprung weight advantage (combined with my wortec discs/rotors) would be circa 130lbs
I have 2 silver 20"x8.5" takoba jaguar wheels for sale. I prefer nicer oem wheels rather than **** heavy and usually not tight tolerance for roundness aftermarke wheels and i mount and balance them all so you get to see a big differance in quality..
As I stated earlier I have the 20" Senta wheels which I love!:-)
My former car had 18"OEM which I didn't like so bought 19" aftermarked!
Aaah so two XK owners extolling the virtues of aftermarket wheels but don't have them fitted to their XK's?
I was saying that the 5.0 (due to the e-diff) won't take Senta's well due to the offset (see another thread re rubbing caused by fitting Senta's on a 5.0) , the OP has a 2010 5.0.
As to the MG, I remember when it was launched it was compared to an S type and won! However I live in small seaside town that is frequented by hordes from the West Midlands in Summer, a high majority are driving MG's (would imagine workforce when the factory existed) and towing caravans...so am not a fan...purely as they clog up the roads
