Wow, I was given a pristine set of 5 15" lattice wheels
by a KIWI now living in a nearby town.
They fir my XJ wuzza six just fine and look really great.
Too fat for the spare well in the boot, though. I kept the best
old tire on a Kent for that. Even it is a tad fat and the lid rides just a bit tall.
I am quite pleased, though.

Yes, the hubs are identical from that point of view. But 15 inch tyres are becoming rarer and rarer and more and more expensive, so an OEM 16 inch rim is a far better buy, I believe, just a PTJS posted. For my money the 16 inch "modern starfish" (effectively the more modern versions of your current rims) as fitted to the later XJSs are the best upgrade rims to go for. For an out of date tyre size I think the price you are being asked for is a bit steep.

Many thanks for the replies guys.
Yes I can confirm the car in the picture is the one being scrapped. (Not sure why).
I actually like my original Starfish alloys but these just popped up and I was keen on the design when I first bought my XJS, so it got me thinking. I just really have no idea what they are worth so was hard to know whether or not it was a good deal.
As you say though the 15" are becoming rarer. Maybe that in itself is worth picking up I dunno...

Not the rims becoming rarer, Paul, just the tyres! In the UK it will invalidate your insurance to fit tyres of a lower speed rating than the car's top speed, so high-speed rated 15 inchers are quite hard to find apart from the odd specialist place, and expensive. I changed from the same 15 inch starfish you have, which I really like, to the 16 inch modern ones for that reason.

Never mind the Wheels,
Why don't you buy the whole Car! She looks a real beaut and then use one or the other for Spares if you need to.
You could probably get the whole Car for around $2,000

He probably thinks that the sum of the Parts is worth more and he could well be right but only if he can manage to find enough 'Punters'
Is She a 6cyl or a V12?
If She is a V12 I would leave her alone (parts wise) and still try and buy the whole Car or Wheels and Tyres $500 Max.

Well, I tried selling my 15 inch lattice wheels of my 91 for $150, centers, lugs included, pick up only. One call if I delivered them . Long story short, there still in my garage. You could probably sell all four for $50 if you delivered, cleaned & mounted them on the car for the buyer.

Paul, that $980 is way too much coin for a set of second hand wheels.
A quick search didn't bring up any lattice wheels, but they will be out there and a lot cheaper than what this clown thinks he can get.
Is the seller local? If not add a hundred for delivery too.
