My front is Nevis is cracked and since that is that, I want two stock Nevis rears to replace both fronts.
Since used Nevis wheels for XKs are VERY hard to find since every seller thinks that the XF wheel is the same thing, and they are hundreds of 'monies' more than they should be, I'm looking at getting four aftermarket wheels for my XKR.

The interwebz if full of Chinese garbage.
What is a good wheel brand that isn't outrageously priced? Forged would be nice, but I don't need $10,000 worth of circular machined billet aluminum.
Custom is mandatory since my sizes will be different than stock.

If I don't find anything decent and reasonable, I'll suck it up and get my cracked wheel welded. I'm not going to race it anyway, so no noise about "you'll kill yourself".

 

Get it welded or buy the 2 nevis. Wheels are crap nowdays unless youre spending upwards of 4k

 

Go flashy and purchase jaggyx wheels in markitplace. Three or four pages back.

Not keen on 'em

 

Yargh, thanks for the heads-up, but good-golly NO on those.

 

Cee Jay, thanks to you I found my Nevis wheels fairly easily.........In the EU. I just searched Ebayuk and Ebayit with the part number. The Italy wheels showed up in 3 days via DHL. From memory I was into a full set for under $650.

 

The cheapest front single wheel I can find anywhere on the entire interwebz is $729 plus $75 shipping on eBay.
If I got two rears to replace the fronts, it's about $550 each plus shipping for unrefinished used ones, but ZERO of them are the correct offset for XKs. Every single one is ET66.

 

Carlos Fandango. Who remembers them?

 

Run spacers?

 

They'd have to be almost two inches to get 'em back to where they should be. I hate spacers anyway, especially on the front.

 

This is what you are looking for?

Exactly those, but...


Good prices in the UK also, WAY better than in the USA.

 

According to the first seller with the new nevis wheel he only excludes "Afghanistan, Libya, Nauru, Russian Federation, Somalia, Ukraine, Yemen" from postage. I would try to get in contact with him.

I regularly buy parts in UK. My experience is although a shipping to Germany in the offer is excluded, after a personal contact the seller often accept it. A new Nevis for this price is worth a try.;-)

 

That guy only has one wheel. I would need two rears.

 

Does anybody remember Maxima?! I bought his HRE rims for the XKR. Google HRE XKR and you will see my current rims, literally, on his old XKR. He must have had 10k miles on them when he sold them to me. I’m probabaly over 100k miles. Best rims ever. My price used 4K…. His price new and eye watering 11k…. My god are they good though!!! Holy Schnike’s!! With inflation… god the cost… but they make the car!!

 

I get a bunch of different stuff..... You talking the 101s or the 501s?

 

See post #53 in this thread:

101s

 

101s are pretty good, the 501s are hideous.
