Just put them on my xk8 today...
After months of searching and thinking and looking and relooking and thinking some more, I finally did it and got some new wheels for my XK8....
Here are the pics... one before and a bunch after... let me know what you think!
They are Avante Garde M310 wheels for a BMW 5-series... I had the center bore opened from 72.6 to 73.9 and they fit perfectly (almost... because when the car was jacked up, the new wheel just seemed to hit on the suspension "stopper" mounted on the back of the wheel well - the thing that hits if you were to bottom out... the original wheels cleared by maybe a 1/4" and these are right there... I may have to do something about that, but when the car is down there is NO problem... NOW, if I were to go AIRBORNE and the suspension dropped down I might have a problem --- NOTE TO SELF...)

There are these companies now that will ship items from the seller to the buyer. They are called UPS, FedEx, DHL and Purolator (for the Canadians).
The main thing you need to ensure is that they have a set for Jaguar S-Type in 5x108 bolt pattern.
My wheels came from Florida also, so they were imported via that international port. They were selling lots of 50 sets on ebay not long ago. The wholesaler was trying to get rid of inventory.
