I really like the wheels that came on my new-to-me '03.
Found a crack in one of them (slow leak) which I'm having repaired today.
Are these Apollos? Most of the Apollos I see here are matte, these are chrome.
What can you tell me about these wheels?

 

Hi ,yes they are Apollo wheels which were available on request on 2003/4 models. Are you sure their chromed and not polished aluminium, anyway car looks great!

 

Many dealers chromed the Apollo's as an add on option. Mine were chromed from the dealer as new.

 

Very nice car. Do you know the name of that color?

 

I belive Phoenix Red was the only red that was available for the XK8 in 2003, but the OP can confirm.

And yes, those are the Apollos- either chromed by the dealer or a previous owner. I added them to my 2005 XK8 I had. My favorite of the non-BBS wheels for all of the X100s

 

The car was repainted before I got it, and I don't know if they used a stock Jag colour or simply took something close. Trying to match it to colors as shown on the internet strikes me as a losing battle.
I sure do like the way she looks.

 

If you're curious about the original color, you can check the sticker on the driver's door for the color code (see below for example), and then search that online.

 

It sure looks like Carnival Red. Great lookin' car.
