Ran over someting in the road today that took a piece out of my rear rim and caused a flat tire. Looks like the Rim will not be usable again. Rim is off a 2001 XKR Conv., 10 slot 19".

Can provide picture if necessary--Anybody have a rim in great condition that they can sell.

Please send an email to: gary.d.notte@us.army.mil and also respond directly to this site.

Thanks

This one?

 

Try to get it repaired before you buy one. I had a wheel crack on my other car and the style had been discontinued I had the wheel repaired and re-chromed for less than a new wheel would have cost.

 

yes I would get it repaired too, especially since it took me 6 months to get 18" 01 XKR rear wheels after my wifes accident. I put a salvage yard locate on them and they cost $300each shipped when finally found. At least they were refinished, and 19" are even harder to find, unless theyre still being made. The 18's are not

 

nothing like a poster who doesn't follow up on his one request. geesh.

 

Guess thats why he put his email in, the whole thing just makes me feel used like a 1 night stand

 

I imagine you guys do brutal, just hope the 'appreciative' ones outweigh the 1-posters on your imaginary handout-balancing-scale-thingy... c'mon...do it.

 

well he has posted 40x's on the forum, so i imagine he'll be back....afterall he's got a Jaguar

 

sorry guys for leaving you hanging. I was out of the country on business.
Turns out after further review of the rim--it was salvagable. The wheel had to be replaced due to a sidewall tear and the rim had a gouge in it but I was able to grind it down and install the new tire. Wish I knew the rim color so I could make some cosmetic repairs. Glad I didn't have to buy a new rim--after top hydraulic line replacement, secondary tensioners and trans pan gasket and fluid replacement I need a break.

 

any decent wheel repair shop can color match. rate is $50-125 depending on damage to be repaired or just repaint

 

$50 is a great price per wheel, the jag dealer by me charges exactly $126 per wheel (takes one day, you can take the car in, or just the wheel and all inclusive price) and that includes the WHOLE wheel refurbed/painting , not just the spot I gouged taking the curb at Rosas Cafe drive-thru...those homeade tortillas and queso is so yumm. I almost didn't
