I am looking to purchase 4 plain steel rims to mount my winter snow tires on - 1999 VDP. Can anyone recommend a reliable source? Nothing fancy is necessary.

Thanks

It might be easier to get a set of 16" wheels from a car that is being dismantled. That's what I did.

Otherwise steel wheels from a 1980's Chevrolet S10 or Camaro might fit. The bolt pattern is the same and the offset is close. Not sure about the center bore though.

 

Thanks for the idea. I have been looking for a salvage source as well as new. As for what fits, I found the technical data and a cross reference chart, soI have that angle covered. I just need a source for either used or new steel rims. Thanks again

I use a set from a late 90's XK8 for my winter tires on my XJR Bought them for my x300VDP as summers and used the original VDP's 16's for my winters.

A lot of rims will fit -- I'm surprised you are having a problem finding a set?

 

This is common practice in Germany, you see a lot of top end BMWs and Mercedes running round on steel wheels or ones with wheel trims in the winter.

 

What's recommended for an STR?

 

SimoCat: What does STR stand for?

 

They are my initials! But in the world of Jaguar it stands for: S-Type R. Like an XJR but in an S-Type body.
