Just wanted to post a pic of the wheels I have just had fitted to the XKR. They are 9x20 (f) and 10x20 (r) and are in a 'hyper black' finish with a polished deep lip. I am running the standard tyres on them (255 & 285). I have searched long and hard for wheels that would fit, as many that say they do a fitment for the XK's either a: DON'T or b: They DO, but not for the cars fitted with the Brembo brakes!

I am really pleased with them, the quality/finish of the wheels is excellent, and they look the business; much better (I think) than my standard rims.

Very nice!They really look like they are perfectly suited to the car. Who supplied them? Do you have contact details for the supplier?

Hiya Mate,

I bought them through a friends tyre dealership, but the distributor was called the "RoadHouse Group". I think this is their number: +44 (0)8702 404171.

The wheels are "Ascari Pentas" (Hyper black with polished lip)

Hope this helps,

Scott

Hiya Mate!

Very possibly you did! We live in Edgware and I was driving through Burnt Oak on Saturday!
That's my first 'spotted' in the car!!
The Exhaust system is having some final modifications done in a couple of weeks, so will sound even better after that!!

Are you local as well?

Yep, I live in Burnt Oak and work in Colindale.
Whilst in traffic going in the opposite direction I saw the rims and recognised them immediately from PH the night before!
I'm a big Jaguar and XKR fan so I'll keep an eye on your threads and hope to see it again soon cool

Drop me a line and we can always meet up sometime if you want to have a look at the car!

Cheers.
Not too much of a petrolhead though, I drive a 64bhp diesel Fabia.
