Steel rims ?
 
I am looking to get a set of snowies for the winter and looking for a set of Jaguar compatible steel rims - I contacted the local dealer and they wanted $210 a steel rim (16 inch) - I currently have 17 inch alloys on and want to preserve them from salt/sand/snow and the harshness of a Canadian winter - I read in another forum that some ford taurus steel rims are compatible - if anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear !

Cheers,


S. Chapman

If the Taurus is the same as a Mondeo (UK) then there compatible I believe.

S Chapman, I spend my time back and forth between London and Toronto, If you need any help, let me know...

I heard that Taurus wheels fit, but I never tried to be sure.
I have 16"s for winter wheels, they are el cheapo aluminum wheels. Tell me more about your car.....

'05 X 3.0L - "cayman" 17x7 alloys - car had 40k km on it - originally a southern US car - bought it in Oakville - fully loaded with all the trimmings - was looking for cheap-o alloy or steel rims - either 16' or 17' to fit (yet to be bought) winter tires.

Checking the local tire shops today to get quotes - something has to be better than the Jag dealer prices.
