Opinions on Rims for my black 1997 XK8
Hey there....Not too many choices for 17" rims that fit the car as far as I can find so could use a few links for my options. I was leaning towards the Milanni Stellars (cheap and would help show off the rotors and calipers)
Not sure if I would go with the black coventrys' / don't want it to look like a race car.
I like silver but just can't find anything I like.

I just don't want to screw up and be dissatisfied w/ my purchase. I know some people do not like the chrome look, but with the right rims it could add a little class.
All comments appreciated,
Bruce

I'm really not a fan of black wheels, even on 'modern' cars. On a Jag designed before anyone had even thought of them, they're going to look nasty. Chrome wheels are only favoured here in Europe by drug dealers and/or people with no taste. Go with some nice original looking silver wheels. Just my €2

Agree!!!!
I want to be 110% certain of my final decision on the rims as it is a small chunk of change.....I have chrome revolvers on it now/ it's what the car came with but they are in sad shape. I don't like the look of them at all
Thanks for your input,
Bruce

I have been thinking about going larger myself, at which point a set of 18" Hydras will become available. Just not quite ready to make the leap (read: pay the bill).
Maybe even the ones that H2O has listed: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/private-sale-trade-classifieds-9/jaguar-custom-wheels-chrome-$1100-shipped-82700/ Off an XJ, but might work, depending on your taste.

I would also stick with OEM wheels...what about these 18" in silver, from the XKR?

RE: Rims
Thanks everyone for your input.
I'm a little confused now in that I don't know the bolt pattern or the offset. Is this something I can find out in the JTIS repair manual or do I need to go out and measure something?
What is the offset anyway?
Just never bought rims before. I need to stick with the 17" because I just purchased 4 new tires.
Thanks Guys,
Bruce

TBH, you won't find much in the aftermarket sector for the jaguar xk8/r (97-2006) for anything reasonable. You're looking for 5x120.65 with offset right around 33-35mm for non-staggered (all wheels same width). Unless you want to add adapters to change bolt patterns from jag's to another. (PITA if you ask me)
Sticking with stock 17s is going to leave you very limited in choices, when jaguar only made the Revolver (for xk8-r), Lamina (xj8-r), and Gemini (xk8-r) styles (the latter only for the Mexico market). As you will notice, the x308 (xj series) wheels do fit our xk8s.

If they had 9's in 20, I'd buy a set. Right now I'm still on the fence.

Crap
Now I'm thinking I should have held off on the tires a bit longer. It seems most are upgrading to larger wheel/tire combos most likely from the limited choice out there as well as the updated look.
Well....I've got till spring to figure this out. Again I want to be absolutely certain of my decision. Definately no wheel spacers to give me more options.
Thanks again everyone,
Bruce
Keep it coming if you have a thought
