Default XK8 wheels and tires

I have a set of 4 new early XK8 Lamina wheels new tires. I had these on my XJ-S briefly, but did not like them for that car. They really belong on an XK8. Here is a picture of one, plus a pic on the XJS. They are all the same and perfect. Tires are brand new. Wheels are refurbished and chromed and look very nice. Looking for $750 plus shipping. Make an offer.

Did you have any clearance issues running these on the XJS?

None. I used spacers in front. I then used a little silicon to hold the center caps in place as there was a slight gap on the fronts. No rubbing at all on full locks turns in either direction. I'll provide the spacers with the wheels.

Are tires and wheels still available? I'm interested, but I would need them shipped to northern Michigan. I would need to know how much to ship them.
Thanks,
CMS

I do still have them. I don't know about the shipping... probably not cheap if they went UPS or FedEx. I priced out just shipping a tire one time and it was about $35. So, a wheel with tire mounted would have to be more than that and there are 4 of them. My zip is 28226. Why don't you ship around for shipping options. Sometimes using Greyhound bus is way cheaper.
Are interested in these for an XK8?
Thanks, Bill

Hi Bill,
Thanks, that's a good idea (Greyhound Bus), will check into it and get back to you. Yes, it's a 98 XK8.
Thanks again,
CMS

Hi Bill,
Would it be possible to get a combined weight of the tire and the rim, so I can get an idea of the cost of shipping?
Thanks,
CMS

<p>CMS - although larger rims, I just received a set of 18inch Coventry Whitley's with tires mounted and the listed weight was 65lbs each and total shipping via UPS ground was $164 from Ca to SC</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Steve</p>

They weigh right at 50 lbs each.

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the info. Would like to go ahead with the deal, if you are still willing. Would like to discuss details via private message, if so.
Thanks,
CMS
