Coventry Wheels for XK8
Hello, Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2012 for you all. Had anyone installed Coventry Wheels brand into their XK's? I'm thinking of replacing my Revolver wheels and saw these two models in Wheel Warehouse for a reasonable price. Want to know about fitment and quality. Your thoughts about which one is welcome, thanks.

I'm actually partial to the Hornet, as it corresponds to the OEM revolver wheels somewhat. I would be interested of a photoshop rendition of them as well. I have a set of revolvers that at one point long ago someone did a very poor job of chrome plating, and when up close you can see much pitting and flaking. New wheels are a must for me in 2012.

Coventry wheels, apparently, specifically designed for Jaguars do not meet spec for
xkr 20" rims. I believe that Jag front wheels for these cars call for a 9"x20" size.
The Coventry's are available in a maximum 8.5"x20" for the front.
This may or may not be a problem in mounting a spec'd tire, but, I wonder if it would
then, visually, not fill the wheel well as well. And, I would imagine the front end would need to be re-aligned. Would the smaller wheel help with meeting camber
specs?

XK8 Wheels
I'll try to post a picture soon of my 1998 XK8 with the 19" Hornet Wheels. I personally went with the staggered set. I purchased mine from Discount Tires Direct as a package and have been very happy with them. Today, I did have to order a replacement as one was damaged due to poor Louisiana road conditions. I was able to call DTD who contacted TSW who makes them and a replacement should arrive in about a week. Stick with the 19" as I think anything larger will have a poor ride quality. Hope this helps
