Here's a copy of Matt's pic from the link he posted earlier, with the dimensions of his original Jag nut that he posted back in 2010 to compare.

I e-mailed some questions to Adamesh about their XK8 lug nuts via the "Contact Us" option on their website yesterday morning. No response thus far. Is this typical? I'd really like to get their answers before I decide whether to place an order with them....

For those of you who have the Adamesh solid lug nuts:

1. If they are not chrome, what are they?

2. Do the heads fit my factory Jaguar 23mm lug wrench?

3. Is anybody using these on the Atlas 19-inch chrome wheels which were part of the Victory Edition package for the 2006 XK8? If so, have you encountered any problems with them?

2. I had to get a lug wrench. It has 21 & 22 mm sockets.

3. I have 17" Coventry Hornets.

Thanks for the information....

Still no reply from Adamesh to my e-mail of two days ago. Makes me wary of doing business with them....

Update:

Sent another e-mail last week to Adamesh with my questions concerning their solid XK8 lug nuts. Clicked on the "contact us" section on their website, the normal e-mail form came up in my Windows LiveMail client, so I typed away and sent it with no problems. Used this same process back in October when I e-mailed them the first time and never heard back from them....

Still no answer received from Adamesh. Anybody know what's going on with them?

When I dealt with Adamesh last year, I received 2 emails from them. These are the addresses:

info@adamesh.co.uk (this was in a confirmation of my order)

enquiries@adamesh.co.uk (this was in the paypal receipt)

Hope this helps.

What size lug wrench fits the Adamesh solid lug nuts? I hope it is a 23mm, since that's what our 2006 XK8 came with....

I bought one of the folding cross types for ~$17 from O'Reillys when I changed the S Type ones, I found the same thing at Harbor Freight several $s cheaper a couple of days later.

I'm still a little uncertain here, are the Adamesh lug nuts a direct replacement with no issues? (I have the BBS 20" wheels)

Yes, according to the members here who have them....

If you are able to get Adamesh to respond to you, please let me know. They have never responded to any of my e-mails, and I've tried three different times since last autumn....
