Default Wheel Replacement XKR

Anyone know of a good place to purchase a
rim/wheel for an 06 XKR?

Thanks

I ran across this place a while ago but have never done business with them:
2006 Jaguar XK8 Rims, 2006 Jaguar XK8 Wheels at OriginalWheels.com

Depending on the style and size you are looking for it may be difficult to find one.

Good luck.

Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market is a good site for junk yard stock, call the yard you select rather than send tjhem an email if you want a response or a timely response.

Good luck, but be prepared for a let down though. I contacted one of these places a couple of years ago when I was trying to track down a set of double-fives (that I was going to have chromed). They had a set in my preferred sizes advertised, and I put an order in. A little while later I was notified that the order was cancelled. When I called to find out what happened, they said that the listing and the price were contingent on whether or not they could "find" a set. Turned out that after they did some research, there was only a 5% chance the wheels would turn-up, so they cancelled the order. I haven't tried since.

Not raining on your hopes - just relaying an experience.
GOOD LUCK TO US ALL!

Probably eBay. I'm scanning there occasionally for a random full-size spare.

Thanks for the replies guys.
Jerry at OEM Wheels says he can get a new rim for $450 shipped.
Found him at the car-part website that Trevor suggested.
I'll let y'all know when I receive.

Thanks again.

I bought a replacement rim for my Detroit alloy from this guy on eBay. Fits great. £100+ shipping

Update - I received the wheel from OEM - Wheels.
It's a perfect match - it wasn't easy finding a 19x8 5x120 10 spoke rim.
Thanks for your replies.
Now onto figuring out my dipper headlight issue.
