Thanks! At risk of sounding pedantic, they're actually powdercoated but I doubt the finish would be much different, just more durable on powdercoating. I was hesitant at first but I found a photo on this very forum of a silver XKR with black pack retrofit (it was never officially available on a silver car) with black Nevis wheels and I was sold after that.
I am sorry for my low activity.
Here are two pictures of my XKR. I repainted the car after an accident with a matte pearl white from Mercedes's Designo. I forgot the exact name of the color.
This was at Bahrain's GP track in March 2019. I increased the profile of the tires by 5 both in front and back, 255/40/20 and 295/35/20. I wanted to reduce the error in the speedometer reading and reduce the wheel well gap.
This was in October 2019 when I first got my new wheels on. I had to go with narrower tires because of availability, 245/35/21 and 285/30/21. The wheels are 9/10.5 inch wide.
Finally had some good weather for pictures of the new grille. Took a few days to make and install, but totally worth it!. I think this will be my final exterior mod for a while.
Corona-empty Autobahn - and then there is the limiter...
This reminds me of a famous (in Australia) picture that was published in wheels magazine of the road test for the Falcon GTHO where they took it up to 140mp/h on the Hume Highway: https://www.whichcar.com.au/features...hase-iii-photo
But, 270 KmH is about 167 mph. I know of the stock limiter at 155, then the XKR175 at 175 mph, then the XKR-S at.... I think 300 KmH which is 185 mph, but what/where is the 270 limit? I'm not calling foul or anything, I just don't know.

On an unrestricted autobahn and not even in Sport mode?

Fairly well known that the limiters are often not in place on these cars, from what I've read.
