Hello guys...i've been desperately looking for some nice rims for my 2005 3.0 x-type. I was looking for some S-type R vulcans but then realized they were staggered and would not be good for the AWD..what kind of jaguar rims would you suggest? and also where can i buy them not too pricey. Regarding the grill...I've seen folks with the grill of a 2009...where can i get those...any ideas?

Thanks a lot guys

 

Mina Gallery, www.minagallery.com has the grill. For wheels, Coventry makes some nice wheels made for Jags and they aren't that costly. As I type this I can see an add for them on here haha. You could also try getting a set of 4 S type R front wheels (or rear if you want to try your hand at running wide wheels all around). You'll need a wheel with the 5x108 bolt pattern, Volvo wheels are also 5x108, so are 5 lug focus wheels and Taurus...and a lot of Ferrari's are 5x108 but, that's a lot of coin.

 

The Mina Gallery grille is different from the OEM 2008/2009 grille; it has a finer metal mesh while the OEM grill is chromed plastic. Cambo351 had the OEM grille, here's a photo. You can find it from Adamesh, for example.

Also, what stops you from getting 4 S-Type R front alloys? Aside from the offset of course, might require spacers.

 

Here is a nice grille that you might want to consider. No cutting old grille just unbolt and replace. Welsh Enterprises, Inc - Jaguar X-Type Body Fittings Bonnet (Hood) Area Parts - X-Type Mesh Grille Insert 2001 Up

 

Thanks for your suggestions guys!! i ended up buying some used x triple 5 wheels for $225 + shipping was looking desperately for them but couldn't get any for lower than $900 lol just want to get rid of the cheap ones it currently has then i will be looking into making some investment on the S-type vulcans. now im looking for a grill and Aonsaithya posted one from adamesh which i looked and is the closest one to the original 2009 (if its not the original one already). a little bit pricey but worth it do you guys think they charge extras for color matching the edge of the grill? my car is jaguar racing green.

Thanks in advance to everybody

 

I used the Welsh grille on my 2005. Installation was a snap-very easy and clean. No cutting, no hassle. I like the '09 grilles and may eventually put one on. For wheels, I went with a new set of XF take-offs, 17 x 7.5's, 15 spokes. Not easy to clean but give the car a nice stance and look. But one day, those Aruba's may do it.

 

You should divide your text a bit with enter, it'd be nicer to read

Anyway, I've heard that the Adamesh grille is the OEM 2009 grille. Cost is high, at £299+£40 painted. You'll need to sen them your paint code for the painting, you can find it (and interior trim code) on a sticker in the driver's door sill/wall/whatever.

There are sometimes some of those grilles at www.xtypeparts.xom (under "upgrade kits" for £199 or so, pre-painted as they are used. Might ask them too.

 

I would try a website called "JaguarXP.com". We shop there often and they usually have the same parts that you can get from the Jag shop.
