Default Coventry Whitley on my '10 XK. setup+photos

Thought I would share with you guys my new set up. Really happy with it. I ordered it all through fitment industries. I'm really happy with this and thought alot about the wheels for quite some time. I love the "old xkr" look of these. And the fit is perfect for the base 5.0 xk.

RIM: TSW Coventry Whitley Hypersilver w/mirror lip
TIRE: Nitto NT555 G2
Front: 255/35zr/20x8.5 +35 offset
Rear: 305/30zr/20x10 +45 offset

Looks nice but I'm not sure about cleaning the brake dust off of all those spokes.

Newman, thanks for sharing! That is indeed a fine look, one I stumbled into on the purch of my XK8. What did you mean by the "look of the old xkr?"

Looks great!
I put the exact same wheels on my old XFS then XFR, only difference was I used stock XFR tyres on the back 285/30ZR20:


Yes it's a minor hassle cleaning the brake dust off and between the spokes, the solution is to change out the horribly dusty OEM pads for ceramics.

I don't mind. I had the caravella on as stock. And if I'm lazy, I know a great detailer. My man hooks it up.

What are the "guards?"
Just polished my XK, since I am staying home, staying alive, with a fine garage,polishing tactics, and equipment galore.

Ahh, I thought those were called "wings". Guards is a new term to me for the fenders, or wings. Thanks for the clarification!

As a car appraiser in the US, we refer to the front as "fenders" and the rear as "quarter panels" But I have heard all the terms in this thread! Thanks for all the comments guys!
