Center caps logo on after market wheels
I went for after market wheels on my XK8 and I hated the aftermarket wheel logo being there so I did some searching on Ebay and found these 3m adhesive Jaguar center cap stickers. I think i paid $20 including shipping for all 4. Just thought Id share it for those who may consider going outside of the OEM wheels route..

I with you there Dragman on not liking my old revolver wheels. I even think that the majority of Jaguar OEM wheels seem to be quite dated with the exception of a few. But thats just my opinion. These rims I found in Austin TX (for those of you from Texas, I can direct you where to buy if you PM me). Anyways, the guys there in the shop will buy your old factory wheels from you and give you credit towards the purchase of new wheels. I settled on 19 X 9.5 MAAS 21C wheels. No problems with brake clearance or hub centric shaking. BTW I do feel a slight shake in the steering wheel on bumps but I believe that its my lower ***** joints that are going bad. (I found the pair of lower ball joints going for $49.00 the pair on ebay). Anyways, once I replace those I will see if any center hub spacers will be needed if shaking continues. (Those are about $10 a piece at discount tire). Just FYI - I do have wheel spacers (20mm) installed in the rear wheels and have experienced no rubbing problems with these wheels. With the factory wheels I would get stares here and there but these new wheels grabs more attention big time. I am given compliments on the car daily now. Also - new lugs were needed at the time of purchase. With the trade in, a set of used tires with (65 % tread life), lug, nuts, balancing and mounting the total was $594.00. (front tires are Goodyear 245/40-19 and rears are Michelin 265/35-19 tires.) One last thing - the stance now on the car is killer. Looks more modern and rear view stance looks like that of an exotic (Ferrari / Lamborghini)..
