Can anyone tell me what type/name these wheels have,I'm wanting to replace my spacesaver,and to have my wheels powder coated one at a time.I dont fancy running the car for a month with the spacesaver on whilst I have the wheels done.

Hi John

I had to use the space saver and didn’t like it, and like you I wanted to change it for a proper wheel.  I was watching Wheeler Dealer’s one day and they were renovating a Mk II Jag.  Mike Brewer went to a Jag dismantler and they had quite a few X-Types there.  I contacted Mike Brewer through his web site and he told me to contact Attaboy, the people who make Wheeler Dealer’s.  They in turn gave me the email address of the dismantlers they used [email protected]

Last November I emailed to them with a photo of my wheel.  They replied to my emailed with the name of the wheel and the price, and within two days the wheel was in the boot of my car.  At that time the wheel with a good tyre cost me £80 plus £20 p&p.

I hope this is of help to you.

Very best wishes

They seem to be Belize wheels. There's another very similar X-Type wheel called Andros, difficult to tell the two apart but here's a way.

Hi guys,

Thank goodness for these forums, I too would like a proper wheel for my 2008 X-Type and if it weren't for your discussion I wouldn't have known about jaguardismantlers.co.uk who happen to be less than 20mins from where I live, fantastic.

 

Regards
