Welcome to the forum Steggles,

As you are in the UK, you could try the following Jaguar new and refurbished wheel specialist supplier:

www.sbwheels.co.uk/

Please follow this link New Member Area - Intro a MUST - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the New Member Area - Intro a MUST forum and post some information about yourself and your vehicle for all members to see. In return you'll get a proper welcome and some useful advice about posting to the forum.

They are "everywhere" and they are "nowhere".

"Everybody" has them listed in all manners of online catalogs. If you search, there is a Hollander number that comes up for that wheel. You can search on it, and find lots of hits. But "nobody" has actual inventory.

My superficial understanding is that inventory for all such wheels comes from reconditioned junkyard finds. So, a car crashes, and eventually, the wheels that survive get refinished and sold if someone figures money can be made. Prices are typically reasonable, but inventory is spotty in the best of times.

For just one wheel, check Wheel Collision Center in Bath, PA.

Best of luck, keep us posted.

Just asking, but have you checked the Classifieds? Or Google Jaguar wheels and you'll find '05 Atlas wheels and everything else. New Atlas wheels are about 500USD and Ebay is full of used wheels in new condition.
I just looked at about 3000 wheels online for my 2005 XK8. Bought a set of NS wheels.

My wife's 2006 XK8 needed a new 19-inch Atlas chromed front wheel back in the summer of 2014. It took some searching, but we found one at California Chrome Wheel Inc. in Valencia, CA, phone (661) 294-0170. Whether you need chrome or alloy, it would be worth a phone call....

Perhaps not if you are in the UK....
