I looked the wrong way and bent two wheels. I have a 2002 XKR100. The wheels seem to be unobtanium. They are 19" wheels, called Montreals. The bolt circle is 5 x 4.75" (120.65mm), 8.5 wide with a 28mm offset. I'd add a picture but I can't seem to make this work (I can email a photo). I hope someone can sell me one or two wheels.

Try contacting sales@sbwheels.co.uk.

Per comment on their website "Please note our shop contains only a fraction of our stock, if you do not see what you are after then please let us know." so worth dropping Steve an email.

Yes, in the UK so you'd have to eat some shipping.

You might also be able to persuade Welsh enterprises to sell you two:

How badly damaged are your wheels? Here in Sarasota FL we have a company called The Wheel Doctor. They repaired 2 of my XK8 wheels after I ran over something nasty in the road.

That's what I did with hubcaps, on my side and the passenger had to look at the missing ones. Just to get 2 in running shape is the object

I like that idea. I'd quite like a different set of wheels for my car, but have been put off by the cost. Now I can upgrade for half the price. :taps head:

Default Great Thanks

The suggestion of Welsh Enterprises in England was perfect. The have two used wheels of the same type, which I jumped on. They are the wrong color but that's easily fixed. Thanks to all for the suggestions.
