Default Wanted: OEM "Custom" rims for XJ8

I am looking for a full set (4) of the 5 spoke "Custom" style rim (See attached pic) that was an option on 2004+ XJ8. These seem to be hard to find so if anyone has a set or can direct me to a set please let me know.

Thank you!
Scott

I see them alot on ebay, but in the chrome finish instead. I prefer the brushed aluminum same as you. Good luck, and keep an eye on ebay at least, put a saved search on there and wait for daily emails.

Go to the Welsh.com site. They have a set of wheels under used Jag Wheels that look like what you want. ie; CZC 17297 "custom".
Let us know how you make out.

Thanks kindly Tarheal...but Welsh.com seems to be a site for business consulting. Do you have a link to where you are seeing them or clarification on the site name?

Regards,
Scott

UPDATE- Tarheal, Please disregard my request for clarification...found the site (welshent.com). Thanks again for the heads-up!

Scott

Bump....still looking. Amazing how hard it is to find OEM rims for these cars. Too bad there is not an OEM replica option out there.

Thank you kind sir! Exactly what I want but experiencing some major sticker shock....gotta pay to play I suppose. Amazing how hard these are to find in the standard (non chrome) finish.

I'll most likely end up piecing together a set from salvage yards across the country as they tend to go for $250-300 a piece from small shops that take in wrecked XJ8's.

Yah, buying the entire set will cost you, if you've got time, keep piecing them together as you are. I'll keep an eye out for singles for you.

What about these? Optional on the XJR ,06 or 07 I think... 19"x8.5" same size, I like em.



These guys also have other XJ wheels, take a look thru their stock. I also like the 08 XJ wheels...

I have 1 of the wheels you are looking for. It's my missmatched spare. If you do decide to purchase wheels peicemeal I will sell it- as soon as I complete a deal on the wheel I need, which may be in the works now.

My wheel is close to perfect and has an all season P on it in 70% condition.

There are now 2 of the wheels you seek on "For Sale Private", one is mine and the other is another guy's. So you can assemble a set piecemeal.
