Since cracking both left rims over a deep pothole on my black XK8 recently, I'm finding it impossible to replace the 19" Apollo/OEM rims.
My question is - will rims for the newer X150 models also fit the same wheel-nut positions on the older X100 models.?
I actually found one replacement wheel in Detroit USA, but it was stolen before they could post it to me.
J.Cott,
There is an XK8 currently for sale on a well known auction site (in UK) which has the X150 20inch Cremona wheels fitted - proving these wheels can fit but I don't know the wheel hole PCD or if adapters are used. See pic
The x100 and x150 are different bolt patterns, sadly. X100 is 5x120.65 with a 73.8 center bore and x150 is 5x108 with a 63.4 bore. You may be able to find a hub adapter but given the smaller hub bore, that could be difficult. You do need to match the hub bore as our cars are designed to have hub centric wheels (as far as I understand).
The options I found for new (reasonably priced) replacements were TSW and Touren as they make the actual 120.65 pattern. For used, Rimmer Brothers are UK based and may have some?
Alternate brands that I can think of (sure there are others) that run 5x120 are BMW, most Corvettes (this probably won't help in the UK) and some Stellanitis products (Afla Romeo). This may help you find some other options?
