The alloys remind me of the strange design choices Vauxhall make on their wheels. They don't look like Jag wheel
+1 They're missing that "premium vibe"
kinda like stock gt86 wheels just look out of place/halfordsy..

I think they look fine. Not amazing but not cheap and cheerful either.
The lighting and potato pic doesn't help how they look either, they look better with nicer lighting and/or in the flesh.
At least they're not silly 19s or 20s...
It's a bit of a modern trend for gloss black wheels with a diamond cut face. Obviously some people like it, but I agree that it just looks a bit Wolfrace (who have been doing it for ages).
With a repaint to entirely silver or similar, the wheel design itself looks nice actually. It also looks better side on when stock - the light does funny things at that angle.
Lovely car nonetheless, and nice to see a petrol!

I think one of the problems is that they look too 2D, no concaveness to them at all.

I personally prefer the 19" star wheels.
Not really. There's been a surprising demand for petrols.

Very surprising, I expected these to be like the XF (2,514 diesel vs 140 petrol on AutoTrader currently).
Bought in Sidcup too!Now she lives in New Eltham...
Still quite local then, shall keep an eye out if I'm ever over that way

How is it very surprising? The XF offered only large capacity 6 and 8 cylinder petrol engines, the XE offers 4 cylinder petrol engines in a market that looks to be increasing it's demand for small capacity petrol engines...

9 to 1 on what sorry?
Thing with XE is that is not on many company schemes yet and if you want over 190bhp you need to go petrol.

9 to 1 on autotrader SECOND HAND CARS? MOTs on current fleets? Or the actual relevant one like sales of new UK cars over the last 3 months.
Not sure if serious? Not sure if you have a clue.

Light Oyster. This is a Portfolio so all the luxuries. It does actually look much better than this - there are nice downlighters in the doors, the seats and steering-wheel are heated, stereo is 380W Meridian, etc.
