Default Traded in the GS...

Agreed! Although the wheel gap is less noticeable in person. Luckily H&R make springs for it...

Thanks! It's a V6 S model, so 380hp with LSD and shorter rear diff ratio vs. the 340hp base V6. I'll PM you financing info.

thanks man, appreciate it. Thats awesome that Jaguar gives a hp boost to the S models rather than just the Rs. Love the wheels as well, but looking at your previous rides i got a feeling you are going to swap em. This is baller status for sure, happy driving
