Revolver and 17" right on both counts. I run the stock XK8 tire size on them as well 245/50/17. Works well and I think was a great $250 upgrade.

XJ40 wheels

DB7 wheels FTW (18's), or if sticking to 16's lattice or early speedlines (most racers use these).

Looks very similar to the wheels I have on my XJ40.

That looks like a Fondmetal wheel, the larger size was used on some Chasseur Stealth Twin-turbo Jags.

Looking at the picture that's a really early car with the taller door mirrors fitted to the first cars and the earlier type of plenum cover. Is it an '86 or an '87? A very rare car now.

Since this was originally posted I have fitted 16" lattice alloys to my on car, so I'm consistent in liking them!

I have taken a liking to a few different styles of wheels, my cars are red 87 and the green 88.
