Most places are going to call it the "sport" version although I've seen it referred to as the Aguila a few other times. Chrome? Sounds like aftermarket. Seen them occasionally on eBay.

I saw this on ebay. It's item number 140499473291. Ain't chep though...must be the chroming. Then, again, JaguarParts.com has it listed at $570.38, and it's not chromed. The OEM Catalog as it for a similar price it looks like. So, perhaps the ebay one isn't bad after all. You could also check welshent.com to see if they have it.

Good luck!

That item isn't a rim, its the cost to exchange 4 unchromed rims for 4 chromed.

Check a local wrecker, can you get it repaired, I'd check that first.

Looks like this only it's been chromed?

http://www.welshent.com/product_info...els&cPath=1089

May have to get it repaired or find a standard silver painted wheel and then have it chromed. Or get a set of the silver painted wheels and get rid of the chrome...I'm just sayin'. Chrome has never been my cup 'o tea.

PS $150 bucks for a set? I'd give them a call to see what condition they are in and then JUMP ALL OVER THAT! I got my Proteus wheels from Welshent.com and they were superb to deal with.

Dang! You're right. It is to get a set of chromed for non-chromed. I didn't read too much when I thought the caption sounded like it was for the Aguila wheels.

My bad!

I believe those are the Aguilas. Also, I gotta think that was a typo. Worth a shot though.

Not sure if you've resolved the problem with your wheel, but I just noticed a refinished Aguila for sale on ebay, item #330520671902.

Just FYI.
