Well, as nice as the decals are, they don't work on my XK8 because there is NO flat surface on my calipers. :-( Tom
Tom,
The Silver Brembo's with the Red & Green Labels are for the XKR with the Performance Package...They are the same Brembo's as mine except my XKR has the "Red" Brake Package....mine have a White --R-- on the side....The Green and Red sticker is really pretty....
I can't make out the word that is stamped into the side of his Wheel BBS made the Centuar in 18" but he says they are 19" and now instead of BBS stamped down by the valve core, it has this word stamped into the spoke! I don't have any idea what they are now!

It says J. Nothelle on the wheel spoke. He mentioned it in his posts as well.
>Believe it or not, yes. As far as I can recall, I have only ever seen them on my own car. They are called Gemini.
I have 17" Geminis too, on my 2003 XK8 coupé; very nice looking wheels and the 245/50 R17 P-Zeros give a nice "floating" ride for high speed, long-distance motoring across Europe.
They are indeed good looking wheels. Reminds me of the wheels on the 550 and 575 Maranello.
Guys, This wheel was used by Jaguar on the XK Models between 2003 & 2006. It only came in 17"....Jaguar cost $825.00 at that time....Someone may make them in larger sizes Today but I haven't seen any Advertised...
After an extended search I finally nabbed a new family member. This a 2006 XK8 with under 54,000 miles. It comes with complete service records, no rust, a pre-mature 60,000 mile service, new hydraulic hoses, new tires, refurbished alloy wheels and more. This beauty will make a great condo car and the fact that it's silver it won't fry in the Palm Springs heat.
I want to thank this forum's members for the tips and info I received prior to the purchase. It was a tremendous help! THANKS!

Absolute beauty. Congrats and welcome to Silver Crew. Such a nice colour for these cars, in my biased opinion.
SLazz, When the temp starts hitting 100 mine stays in the garage. It's brutal when driving with the top down in those temps. My top is black and I don't want the sun fading it, so it's just about always down. Have to keep an eye out for your new ride

Yup, Palm Springs gets hotter than an oven in the summer. Thank God for air conditioning.
This is a different car than the one I asked about earlier. The first car in question was sold before I could say "I'll take it!". That's how quick the good ones get gobbled up. I jumped on this one within minutes of an email alert. Four other people followed suit within an hour. These cars are becoming collectible.
I always find it intriguing how "good driving weather" varies according to where you live. Here in the north Atlantic. July and August are the best months and you have have the top down almost always. They start slating the roads in late October-early November and continue until at least mid April, plus its often bitter cold and snowing so my car is garaged for those months
In my case it's 900 km to the ferry then overnight and then another 2000 km before the weather warms up ( somewhere around Virginia in the United States )
Here in central North Carolina, autumn brings by far the best top-down driving weather. That would be late September through late November. Spring comes in second. That would be early April through late May. Summer is simply too damned hot and humid. And while I like driving top-down in winter, my wife does not....
What is this all about!
You've got a set of Gemini 17"ers
