I used to have a 1976 XJ6 but I sold it because there was too much wrong with it. Now I have bought a 1985 XJ6 because I missed my old one. I'm not a fan of the Series III look. I miss the classic looks of the Series II. Is it possible to put older wheels on the '85? If so where can I get a set of series II wheels?

Thanks so much!

 

Ser I-II-III wheels are all interchangeable.

Whichever way you go make sure to get the right lugnuts, though

Thanks! Any idea of a good place to get some? is there a classified section on this forums where I could post a wanted ad?

 

There is a classifed section here and on JagLovers.org too...

Or you can shoot me an email, I may be able to help...

I also have a set for sale. They are driver quality, not show quality. Got the center caps from David. I used the wheels for a short time as an alternate set while I got the original ones power coated. Now I have no need for them. Problem is...they are in Michigan.

 

I don't need show quality but I don't want to pay the $100 it would cost to ship them. :/ Do they have tires on them? How much do you want for them?

 

Yeah they have tires. One is worn due to a bad ball joint. I am asking $95 for the set of 4. Yeah I don't really want to ship them either because I wouldn't even know how to box them up. Here is a pic....

 

Shipping wheels/tires is a nuisance :-)

Tire stores often have wheel boxes left over from custom wheel installations. Of course the tires would have to come off which means some additional expense.

You might visit "U-Ship" and find someone who'll deliver them with the tires still mounted. You can often get a very resaonable price if time isn't a critical issue. It works sorta like Ebay. You post what you want shipped and various vendors bid on the order. I've had good luck.

As long as the customer isn't all the way across the country, rims aren't too bad to ship...

Two rims in a box, about 65 pound or so....

I'd bet as long as you aren't on the West Coast, and you and Scott can't work up a deal, I could get a set to your door for less than $120, shipping included....

For shipping large bulky items try Greyhound. The only downside is you have to go to them to pick it up, they don't deliver to your door. I've shipped items as large as fenders with them, no problem.
