bad news....

My front was 35mm offset and rear 25mm due to the extra large size of the Alcon brake system exclusive and only on the 2009 which was different from the 2008 Alcon system.
The 2009 has 6 piston Alcon calipers in front and 4 piston in the rear. In additon the 2009 had 350mm rotors and 400mm rotors the largest that Jaguar ever had on an XKR. Our 2009 Alcon brake system was a $5000 option because of the size.
I am sure that your 2008 Alcon system was different from ours thus making it easy for you to secure aftermarket wheels.
Which Braelin model are you looking at? BR01, BR02, BR03, BR04 or BRO5?

I have the BR02........
If you seek an alternative ....here's the same wheel to the Braelin BR02
Ace Alloy Convex
- Staggered Full Set - <br>(2) 19x8.5 Ace Alloy Convex Hypersilver w/Machined Accent<br>(2) 19x10 Ace Alloy Convex Hypersilver w/Machined Accent Wheels
Element will ship free of charge to you. Pricing between 1010 and Element is very close. The US Dollar has buying power in Canada.
I am sure you can find a vendor close to home that can get you these wheels.
Fastco also owns the molds to these wheels, but I am told are made to higher standards than the Ace. The wheel design is identical. Both Braelin and Ace are milled to fit your car.
Any other q's, just ask. I have conducted a ton of research on aftermarket wheels.

Element says the Ace will not fit, but they will.
Remove one front and one rear wheel over the weekend to determine the offsets marked on the inside of the Cremona wheels.
You may have to go slightly different offset on the Ace Convex. Bolt pattern and centerbore are correct. You just need to work on the correct offset, front and rear.
Ian Pavelko at Fastco (Braelin) will GUARANTEE fitment to your 2008 Jaguar.
I can provide a direct phone number to Ian@ Fastco.ca for you if you like.

I'll get with my service manager early next week
to determine the offset and tire size frt/Rr.

You could try Steve at SB Wheels in the UK. I bent one of the Sepang's on my old XJ8 and the local dealer wanted $2,500NZD to replace it.
I contacted SB Wheels and got a good used one sent to me for around $550NZD all up.
Their site does list both new and used Cremona's at the moment but no pricing for them.

Thanks for this lead. I've sent him a request.
