Default x308 XJR R1 Package 18" BBS Wheels

Found a set local to me.. and it looks like the only damage is 2 of the chrome lips need repair.. anyone interested? They will also need tires but you can put those on after you refinish them.

Those are Milan and look great on the XJ - easy job to refinish them in brilliant silver .

@ SteveM they should all be 18"x8.5" with Brembo clearance.

Yes, I know they were 8.5" on the XJR, but the the XKR had 9" rears.

Can you show me any proof that they came in 18x10? I have never come across that size in the Milan style, only 8.5" and 9". If that size does exist, I would like to get a couple.

I know that most later Brembo equipped XKR's got the 20's but a few did have the 18" Milans (in 2001 I believe). You sounded sure that they also came in 18x10; I just wanted verification that they did indeed so I can look for a pair. Although I'm 90% certain that they didn't.

There is no point in asking someone to prove something that was never said or even implied in their original statement.

Before the edit, it was implied the Milans came in 18x10 on the XKR.

Sean, I wasn't getting into it with you. I was pretty sure there are no 18x10 Milans, but you are knowledgeable about Jags so I thought there was a possibility you were right about this and therefore wanted more info so I could look for these wheels.

Default 18" bbs

I am interested in this wheel set. Recently aguired an XJR R1 that a previous owner must have sold off the BBS rims and replaced them with standard rims that do not fit (along with a very pooly executed attempt to use spacers).

Are they still available and how can I get the details?

Are they willing to certify that they are not "bent or out of round?"

18" wheels are easily bent and those look like they were not well taken care of. The only way to really tell is to put them on a Hunter Road Force balance machine and get a copy of the digital read out for EACH wheel.

"Caveat emptor" on these, especially if you have to pay to fix them and refin them too.

Ask me how I know....lol.
