Default New to me XK

Hello all,
Long time Jaguar owner here. I’ve had many cars over the years, 30+ Jaguars. I just bought a 2011 XK convertible with 15k miles, CA car. It’s on the way as we speak. My brother lives out there and inspected it for me and it’s damn near perfect. It’s got chrome wheels….. I’m not a fan of chrome wheels. Anyway, looking for ideas on other factory options for that year. Does someone have a picture of the wheel options for 2011? Thanks!

There are many, but not a lot of great ones. Do be aware that the 2007-2009 wheels will NOT fit your vehicle as the rear offsets are quite different. ALSO be aware that the Jaguar XF has the same pattern with a much different offset but people DO sell them as "FIT XK/R" and they do NOT.
Here's a quick Search for what you want:

OEM wheels are fairly pricey. Haven't heard of chrome rims for our cars so yours might be aftermarket. CA car with 15K sounds sweet. I thought about upgrading my OEM rims but was not able to find the upgraded rims that I wanted so I'm sticking with what I have. ... I too have a 2010 XK Coupe with 15,000 miles. Good luck and let us know how you make out.

nice. Thanks. All of the sales brochures I see from 2011 only list 19” wheels for XK and XKR. Were 20’s an option for 2011?

You should Press to say "Thanks".

20" wheels were either standard or optional on all X150 models from 2007 - 2015. Note that the rear wheel offset changed with the introduction of the e-Diff on the 5.0L models in 2010, so make sure they'll fit your car without spacers.

Mine came with the Chromed 19 Arturas, they are in Original Window Sticker as a paid option, I think it was like 4 / 5k.

The Vortex are the ultimate XK wheel pattern. They nailed it on that one and pretty easy to clean.

My 2007 XK was delivered with 19 inch chrome Carelias, dealer installed; there is a disclaimer on the window sticker stating (unless opt wheel selected). They are going to be swapped out for 19 inch Aleutians, correct offsets, 1/2 inch wider.
