Default Rim Names

I've noticed that everyone seems to refer to their Jaguar factory wheels by unique names. Can someone tell me what mine are called? Better yet, is there a link showing all the modern Jag rim styles and names?

Vortex is my favorite pattern by a good margin and pretty rare one at that.

Here is a list I put together,
May not be complete, and does include rims that were optional.

I don't know of anything that puts them all together on one page but here is web site that hosts PDFs of most modern automobile brochures.

Auto-Brochures.com|Car & Truck PDF Sales Brochure/Catalog/Flyer/Info

The Jaguar brochures seem to mostly all contain pictures of the wheel options by name.

Is doesn't break down the different finishes but this is a post with a picture of each wheel from Nigel Thorley's book on the XK's:

Vortex and Vulcan are my favorites. I have the Vortex currently on my 2014 and had the Vulcan's on my last 2013. Which one do you like?

I've got both the Carelia (XK) and Tamana (XKR). I love the Tamana, and they are so easy to clean.
In fact, I was going to keep them and sell the XKR with the Carelia's, until I found out the offsets were not compatible....

Although I have black Kalimnos, my favorite XK/XKR wheel of all time is the Senta.

I was going to say no as there is no mention of anything other than the standard wheels in the press releases but the parts system has this:

Must be super rare on the xkrs-gt as I've only ever seen the "blade" wheel fitted I really like these on the car they definitely suit very nicely.

Not that it matters, but I like the contrast of the Vulcan's
