Well, X-Types aren't used in the VIP world (pretty small base line Jags); however, XJ's are. I'm a big fan of VIP XJ's. Yes, I said VIP, not VIP Style. Many will disagree, but they just don't know any better...but last time I checked, there weren't any Japan Luxury cars that came stock with Connelly leather and REAL burled walnut wood trim, and lots of it. Not to mention rear burled walnut seat trays and plush Wilton wool carpet. The only real problem with them is the high cost of maintenance and replacement parts. There are Japan tuners like J-Complete who have been doing VIP Jags for a while now:

You found a J complete kit for an X type? i thought they only made coilovers and springs. direct me where i can get this kit bro cause ill cop that. any who so far i know ............. J. nothelle by CEC, Arden germany, Jaguar XP, and Auto Coture are the only ones that make anything for an x type. that would be even close to an EXE but not VIP.

Haha, and 120.65 is normal? The XJ bolt pattern is not normal either for finding VIP wheels. There's only a few companies who produce them in this PCD.

You can always get conservative sized wheels and run ebay custom sized billet adaptors. Only problem is that the adaptors are apprx 25-30mm

I know this...and it's EXACTLY the reason I don't want to. My style is opposite to what that would bring me..haha. There's several companies with nice enough wheels that make the bolt pattern like Amistad and Leon Hardiritt.

5x120.65 is the same as a chevy s10...I had to scratch my head when I ordered my boyds but maybe you could run billets!!! they make models with covered lugs etc..only thing is they like to use Backspacing measurements.

It's all good man. I always tell people the lines and styling cues of the G50 (Q45 and President) were influenced by the XJ.
