I know this is a Fezza/Maser/Lambo forum, but figure someone here may know the answer.

I'm looking to replace some split rim alloys on an XKR. I don't want split rims, but just some decent alloys.

Can anyone recommend where I can get some? Only after wheels the same size as are on the car - 19" I believe.

How about these little darlins...

XK8 and XKR happen to be my better half's fav car at the moment and she has been shopping for one needless to say wheels are being looked at too.

Mark, thanks for this.

Great choice, but I'm looking for alloys that are not split rim. The reason is that the alloys on the car (I think they are Detroit split rims) have an aluminium strip that buckles if you accidentally kerb the wheel. Looking for a standard alloy, as that will not look so hideous if lightly kerbed.

Any other suggestions? I had a look at the OZ range and saw nothing I really fancied.

How about something like this?

It all depends what you like I guess. I'm sure the wheels I'd be more inclined to buying for an XKR are different to what you might think looked good on the car.
