Yeah I have been seeing this a lot more lately. It's not just Jaguar, wheel companies are starting to make the same design as well.

It's not unusual to see common designs from OEM wheels of different makes. It was my understanding that most OEM wheels are not made by the car manufacturers themselves but by third party sources who cater to the car manufacturer.

Lexus is one of the few that makes their own wheels. Toyota too. The lexus wheels are made in hokaido japan.

Ditto, that was a good catch.
