I ordered some center cap stickers with the Jaguar emblem to give it more of a factory look. Will post a pic once I get them on...

Thought I'd upload a pic of them just incase anyone is thinking of going down the aftermarket route for rims....
Looks good ! - ENJOY

Thanks guys. Just some additional FYI - I was able to keep my 20 mm H & R wheel spacers on back with the 20mm offset of the 19" wheels. I think in another thread it was mentioned that you could not do this with wheels bigger then 18". As you can see from the back view of the vehicle the tire does stick out a bit more from the traditional 17" revolver wheels that were on before. Additional info - the tires are 265/35-19 on back and 245/40-19 on front...

That looks great! I think the XK8's look better with slightly wider rear wheels. The standard wheels get a bit lost inside the arches from this view.
