It's British Racing Green... for now, quite similar to both of my Camaros (yet I don't like green very much...) and a tan leather interior, much like my Z28.
Even though it's pretty much a done deal, it's not official. Until the money has changed hands, I will keep searching for my dream car.
As it stands right now, I can keep both cars which is excellent news.
The XK8 should be ready Monday, or at least safetied. Might be able to get it E-tested but I wouldn't hold my breath. I'm hoping to pick it up Wednesday evening once my custody battle finishes another round. Until then, I keep shopping and tomorrow night I make yet another trip to Detroit (that'll be 5 trips in the past three weeks) to enjoy myself some good ole Iron Maiden and Dream Theatre then it's off to London next Friday in my new XK8 to see Night Ranger, Peter Frampton and Alice Cooper.

Great, now you have me hunting the internet for new wheels for your soon-to-be-acquired XK8
19" Montreal with tires (needs one new one) maybe out of your budget...but with tires, maybe?

Send Ken@britishparts (also known as motorcars ltd) an email, he's a member here. They have at least one XKr with some 18" double five wheels that are on a salvage car. They look good on coupes.
Go here for the pic.

I must admit I am a fan of your wheels. I'm also a fan of the wheels that start of has 5-spoke at the hub and halfway or two thirds of the way to the rim, they split in two. I came across a couple of pictures but now I can't find them.
I appreciate you keeping your eyes open!

You do know the 19" version of the ASA JH9 wheels are on sale at Tirerack.com. 139.00 USD each, machined not chromed. http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/resul...00&autoModClar=
I am not a fan but, to each his own.

No problem, will let you know if I see anything else that fits. They're just isn't a whole lot of big, flashy wheels available. Aftermarket options are like nil...tire rack has only 2-3 options, as does any other website. None of them I would say suit the XK8. Then again, all the good ones from an XKR are very expensive. I have only seen one set of 19s like mine come up on ebay in the last three years, I have a standing search for 19" jaguar on there.

I've photoshopped them on various colours of Jaguar and I'm happy with that look.

Are you sure we can't talk you into OEM 19" Atlas wheels? These are staggered and engineered specifically for the car, you can even get them in chrome.
