I am in the process of negotiating to lease a 2010 XK. The car comes with the standard 19" Caravela wheels. Although nice I always loved the older 20" Senta alloy wheels that were an option with the 2007-2009 XK/XKR models. The dealer is not willing to upgrade the wheels for me since "he does not have those specific wheels on hand". According to the dealer my only option is to buy the wheels myself and he would install them however he strongly recommends against this because "it is a gamble putting on wheels that do not come directly from Jaguar because there is a high risk of them having a defect (i.e. they could be bent, etc.)". I asked if he could get them from Jaguar directly to avoid this risk and he said he could not.

I have tried to locate the 20" Sentas online and I have seen a huge range of prices ($767 to $1300 for a set of 4). Is it too much of a risk buying these wheels on my own as the dealer warns and should I suck it up and just stick with the Caravelas? Does anyone know of a good place to get these Senta wheels? What is a fair price for these wheels (set of 4)?

I also noticed that on some sites the Sentas are listed as 19" and others as 20". The dealer told me that they were never 19" and that the website is wrong but I have seem them listed at 19" on more then one website. Who is correct, the dealer of the shop?

Thanks in advance for your help.
