As I'm starting out repairing the accident damage to my 1992 convertible..

I purchased a nice 1991 w/o engine/trans off CL last night.

The rims are interesting. Never seen them on a Jag before. I'll attach pics in a bit. They look a lot like the Lorinsers on my S600 Mercedes

As 2 of my original lattice rims were destroyed in the accident, I am in need of some cheap steel rims to keep both cars movable during the repairs.

Does anyone now what sort of wheels (ford, chevy, toyota, whatever) I could source from a breaker yard fit these cars?

Cheers

 

Jaguar Series III XJ6 wheels will bolt right on. They used to be everywhere.

Availability in Uganda might be altogether different than Texas. Were Scott nearby, we
could work a deal on some Kents. He is far away!!


But, 5 lug Chevvy wheels would work, I think. Chevys got around lot, even to Uganda wrecking yards, I think.

Actually, Carl, this Jag is in Baltimore, MD. I'm in the states for 3 weeks. Trying to get this thing on the road!

 

Even easier to find a couple of Chevvy wheels!!

Carl,

My last nightmare with wheels was cracking one of my Lorinsers on my S600 Mercedes. Hit a pothole at speed in the Masai Mara in Kenya.

Had to bring that one in from Europe via Nairobi.

Series 2 steels with bad tires thay do hold air. 100$

ICSAmerica,

That offer sounds great. I'm currently in Seattle. They have had a really unusual freezing spell, so I'm out here to check out my sailboat and put some more heaters on it.

I'll be back on the east coast next weekend. I'll be contacting you then.

Cheers
