2010 Jaguar XKR Nevis Wheel Question
 
Wondering if all 20 in Nevis wheels came 20 x 8.5 front, and 20 x 9.5 wide in the rear? I am curious due to me having to order a new rear Nevis wheel, which is 20 x 9.5 (supposedly, I haven't gotten to measure or look at it yet, as I work in the Gulf of Mexico) and I had a friend pick the car up for me, and he is saying the new wheel looks more inset now then the other side. I am running the H & R spacers, so I initially thought maybe they forgot to re-install in on the side getting the rim replaced, but all spacers are still there. I'm expecting the only other explanation, if 9.5 is the widest Nevis wheel made from factory, is the company sent me a front rim vs a rear rim. Thanks

I've been looking to buy a set of rear Nevis wheels. From my understanding, both the XK and the XF use the Nevis wheels, but with a DIFFERENT OFFSET.

2010+ XK/R. Front offset is 49, rear is 46. Front is 20x8.5, Rear is 20x9.5

Not sure about the actual dimensions on the XF, and my recollection about the offset being different is from the interwebz while I searched for wheels as different places had wheels for both XK and XF but specified that the XF ones would NOT fit the XK.

THANK you for posting this! I just decided to check (for the Fiftieth time) a site I've saved that has constantly been Out of Stock on the rears...... TWO IN STOCK!

I just bought them, $220 each for reconditioned, what they call "sparkly bright silver" and I assume are "Hyper Silver" or something close.

Can you post or pm me the site you used? I may be sending the one I bought back since it’s more then likely the incorrect size

Oh Noes!
 
WAIT!!!
I just for grins rechecked that site and noticed that although I searched for XKR, the wheels that were shown "In Stock" also had a description of "66mm offset", which is WRONG!!! Since XKRs use 46mm offset, these would indeed appear inset, just as you describe your replacement wheels.

I hurry-up a bit ago and sent a message to ALL FACTORY to clarify, and to ask to cancel my order if the wheels I ordered are the wrong ones, DUE TO THEIR FAULTY SEARCH.

Thank you for the update! Can you let me know what they say, as I’m going to have to send this rim back. I paid $450 for it, but refuse to ride around with one side looking gimp and inset, vs flush like the other side.

The ET66 version is for the XFR. XKR should have the ET46 version, as stated above.

Cee Jay,

Check your credit card activity online. If you've been charged for those wheels, dispute the charge and explain the seller's error. If the seller confirms that the wheels are correct for your XKR, you can cancel the dispute. Hopefully, that seller doesn't charge a credit card until he ships the goods.

I woke myself up at frikkin' 6:30 AM (DAMMIT! I'm RETIRED!) to call All Factory directly, spoke with a friendly female who stated that my order had Just Shipped 20 minutes before the call (8:32 am Eastern Daylight). YAY!

BUT.... "shipped" meant Label Created, but the actual boxes were still on the dock awaiting UPS pickup, so they got pulled. OTHERWISE, she informed me that she'd request a return directly from UPS at MY expense, $18.

Yeah, no. I told her that it was THEIR fault I ordered, but SHE said that both the 66mm and the 46mm offsets fit BOTH the XFR and the XKR. Uh, no, and I informed her not too rudely of that fact. She responded with the "I'll forward this to my supervisor for review".

OK, but I'll be VERY carefull-er next time I look at anything from All Factory Wheels. Hell, from Anywhere.

I ALMOST had an 'EnRoute30' problem. Speaking of, Best of Luck with yours!

Glad you got it resolved without too much aggravation. The good news is that you're excused from cardio exercising today because you already got your heart rate up. :icon_hyper:

I've been waiting over a year for All Factory to have those Nevis wheels in stock as they have the best pricing by far of anywhere else. That makes me sad.

Now that I've informed AFW at least THREE times that their application guide is for the wrong wheels, they STILL have not remedied the situation.

How could I possibly buy any wheels from that company if I can't even get the right ones from their own website???
Man, they suck.
