Default Looking for a new set of wheels for my 1990 XJS Convertible

The chrome set I have on there now are peeling and need replacement. Looking for a stylish (preferably OEM) wheel. What does everyone else have on their car?

PAinted or polished wheel are best. Chrome looks good when new but they cant deal with road salt and damp weather. They will peel. Im running 18 X 8 Boyds on my S. Its a chevy 4-3/4" bolt pattern. Many aftermarket wheel s will fit. THere are usually OEM wheels on e bay

What offset should I look for? 4-3/4 bolt pattern? Do you know of any other cars with the same bolt pattern?

If you want to stay with stock Jaguar wheels, I have a set of 16" lattice style wheels which are polished aluminum on the outer circumference. These were fitted to a special "Le Mans" edition XJS, and I believe they were also used on some XJ12 models. PM me if you are interested.
