Default New wheels

Have been offered a set of new wheels for my XJ40, they are originally from an XJS I believe. Anyhow before buying them I would like to know that they fit into my car.




I know that is a very poor picture of them but right now it is the only available to me.

I really would appreciate if someone would be able to confirm that they fit

Kay

Edit : those are 16 inch wheels

Seems like I recall seeing quite a few various series XJ6s sporting the XJS "starfish" wheels.
Of course when I started looking for them, this was the only pic I could find!

I guess they fit OK.
Looks like they might have some rim porosity problems, though.
(just kidding!)

Those 16" 5 spoke alloy wheels came standard on some of the 93-94 XJ40 sport models I believe. They are great looking wheels.

Check out xj40.com for some more photos and info on XJ40 wheels.

The first wheel you pictured I've seen on XJS and XJ40's. My XJ40 has them, and its a NZ new vehicle, 3.2 Sport.
