Default Wheels and offsets

Are the offsets the same for 07 thru 12? I ask because I have the 20" Senta wheels on my car. One of the fronts has a crack on the inside of the rim. I had it repaired five years ago and now it's leaking. You can't find these wheels used and a new one is outrageous. I found a set of the Kalimnos wheels and may just swap them all out. Also, what would the Sentas be worth? Thanks

Looks like the offsets are different which sucks.

There are some available for reasonable money on eBay UK, one as low as £145 (= $235); even with shipping costs, that may be a cheaper route.

Thanks, I checked and that one has the same problem as mine. Cracked. Oh and do NOT buy the Senta wheels that are used on Ebay. I made the mistake of buying the two fronts. One was bent really bad and the other had been heated with a torch. It had burnt marks and hammer marks where they tried to straighten it. He spells them Sentra wheels just in case you look. LOL

Have you considered making an insurance claim? Seems to me that wheel damage is no different than any other sort of damage.

I haven't even thought about that. Thanks for the idea.

Well, I didn't read your first post closely enough. It sounds like this is the result of an incident that happened 5 years ago. I don't know if any insurance company would be willing to cover that, but it's worth having a discussion with your agent!

They won't cover it. The repair was not done correctly. They stressed the wheel while welding it causing the other cracks. I've bought a set of wheels and will be selling the other three. I'm not selling the fourth wheel because I don't want someone to get hurt by having it fixed and the stupid thing come to pieces. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Be sure to post some photos of the new wheels, which I assume are aftermarket wheels, not Jaguar OEM.

I had found a set of Takoba wheels but couldn't get any valid information about what to do with mounting them on my 07'. One said this one said that crap. So I just bought a new one to replace the damaged one(only two new showed to be in the US). Thanks for everyone's help.
