Wire Spoke Wheels
 

Did Jaguar ever have OEM wire spoke wheels. My 1997 XK8 has a set and the center caps have Jaguar emblems on them. Just trying to determine if they are "Jaguar" or not.

Wire wheels on an XK8, not OEM certainly. I'd be surprised if they are up to the job.

PICTURES! please

To the best of my knowledge, the last car to leave the factory with wire wheels was the E-Type. All of the other, newer cars with wire wheels most likely have Dayton brand wheels. I know that these can be a problem on the Xj40/X300 cars because they are so heavy that they will bend the rim after awhile. Now, your Xk is lighter (I would think.), so hopefully, it wouldn't have that issue.

+1 definetly......I am a sucker for wire wheels!


Oh and bigK9, go to the "new Member Section" introduce yourself and Jim will upgrade you to full membership, so you can get those pics posted faster!!!!

Here is a TSB on Jaguar's Policy for aftermarket wheels.
