Default Online retailer for XK8 and all Jag wheels

I ran across http://www.wheels-and-rims.com/cgi-b...44107315827.5c<- that link an another forum and found the prices really good on OEM wheels. I also learned this from a gentlemen named Peter Bock -
[blockquote]
"that the 1997-2003 XJ8/XJR has the same wheel fitment spec as the 1997-2006 XK8/XKR, namely: <-- I had no idea!!

Bolt pattern: 5x120.65 mm
Offset: MID
Hub bore: 73.9 mm
Lug bolt: 1/2" right

In fact, the staggered 18" MILAN wheel was originally available on both the XJ8/XJR and XK8/XKR:

2001-02 XJ/XK H59723 18x8.5 Front Two-Piece Grooved Five-Spoke, SS Lip MILAN
2001-02 XJ/XK H59724 18x9 Rear Two-Piece Grooved Five-Spoke, SS Lip MILAN

That means if you want to stay with a factory wheel, but would like a little wider selection, you might consider one of these three non-staggered 18" and 19" factory XJ8/XJR wheels:

1998-99 XJ8 H59695 18x8 Wide Grooved Soft Five-Spoke PENTA

2000-01 XJ8 H59733 18x8 Thin Rounded Grooved Seven Spoke ASTEROID

2002-03 XJ8 H59738 19x8.5 Two-Piece Thin Nine-Spoke MONTREAL


To see pictures and prices of these wheels, go to WheelCollision.com:

There are also pictures of the PENTA and ASTEROID wheels at these sites:

Note that the 19" MONTREAL wheel is similar to, but smaller than the staggered 20" MONTREAL XK8/XKR wheel:
http://www.wheelcollision.com/jag5.htm

2001-06 XKR H59753 20x9 Front Two-Piece Thin Nine-Spoke MONTREAL
2001-06 XKR H59754 20x10 Rear Two-Piece Thin Nine-Spoke MONTREAL

So, if you like the look of the 20" XK8/XKR MONTREAL wheel, but would rather have it in an unstaggered 19" size, the 19" MONTREAL for the 2002-03 XJ8/XJR might be just the ticket."

This really opens the doors for alot of options if one is looking to upgrade the wheels. Heck, the Montreals found on the XKRs are only $350 and $370 each, staggered. That's alot less than I thought. Mine (the 19" Appolo style are only $295 and $325 each. So, in case a curb does find your lovely wheel, or you just want a taller/sportier set, the options are many and some are very affordable.
