They look great! I'd love to have a set. Wonder if Dpez wants to go in the lug nut business?

 

I've proposed a deal with dpez, a package deal for me to order the lug nuts here locally (since its so hard to get them from White Knight themselves). Remember, it took me 4 locations before I found one that would allow the manufacturer to send them an order.

I'd like to get 3+ orders before doing this. I'm proposing to my silent partner (LOL) -> $135, turn key price. Not confirmed at this time

That gets them paid for, shipped from manufacturer, I pick them up, shipped to Dpez and return shipped to the individual, and there's $30 per set for Dpez's time and use of his specialized tooling equipment.

 

Works for me. Anybody else?

 

I'm talking with Matt to see what we can do. If we use the White knights and turn them then you need a new lug wrench because they're 13/16 instead of the OEM 7/8" hex. I'm looking into cost for making them from scratch. Either make them from SS and polish or steel and have chromed. May take a little bit guys so if you're interested let Matt know.

 

Don't know if to talk here or open a new thread, but I've mounted a set of BMw wheels and they fit quite fine. (wheels are 20")
Still working on it, and will let you know the results, but by now I've used some 60° nuts and hope it's correct becouse I'm quite worried about the result.

 

I beleive you will find using conical nuts on BMW wheels is fine, I have fitted all kinds of wheels onto XKs from the later MK2 XKs to Porsche.

The only issue you may have BMW have a PCD of 120mm where as Jaguar are 120.65. Its not a lot but you might need to get your hands on to some eccentric conical lug nuts to get over the difference.

I generally make my own adapter spacers depending on the wheels I am using offset, for example I fitted a set of XFR Voalns onto a 99 XKR and they have a 60mm offset as apposed to the XKs 20mm this of course meant I had to make a 40mm spacer/adapter, after that no problems.

I also have a supplier for aftermarket nuts which also do the originals identical to OE for only $2.50 each, not that is much help to you guys being so far away......

 

Dear XKRacer, thank so mutch for your help (and for your experience with different wheels on XK's).
I know the difference between bmw and jags, but hope 0,65 mm is not too mutch with conical nuts. what I'm worried about is the centering ring that is 74,1 in the BMW (without rings) and 73,7 (or similar) on the XK8, so I cannot build a centering ring because too thin.

Please what is "eccentric conical lug nuts" ??
