Just purchased a 2005 XJ8 VDP with a little over 30K miles on it.

I know it's aesthetically controversial, but I was hoping to put bolt-on 72-spline wire wheels on it for a vintage saloon look, much like many folks do with their XJS.

I called Dayton Wire Wheel to find out that they had discontinued bolt-on wire wheels about 2-3 years ago.

Has anybody had any luck putting bolt-on wire wheels on an XJ8? Where did you get them?

Thanks much for any input!

Well, since it is your car & you asked so nicely, might be a good idea to see if you can find some wire-spoked wheels for the 2002-2005 Ford Thunderbird. They would be the correct bolt pattern for your Jag, but I give no guarantee on the aesthetics, so YMMV. This info is worth exactly what ya paid for it. Good luck & happy hunting
