Senta alloys

[Merlin71]

HI,

Could anyone tell me a good source for 20 inch sentas or know any for sale?

Cracked one of my rear wheels on a pothole and the replacement I bought on eBay doesnt fit as its from an XKR.

Need a rear 20 inch senta for a 2009 XF S 3.0.

Thanks for any help!

Hi Mark and welcome to the club.

 

Potholes cost me four tyres in the last 3 years.  I have them, especially in the dark!

 

You could try Rimmer Bros, who have been recommended by another member.  Just google them and take it from there.

 

Jaguar Classified will also have some on sale but I think they sell 4 at a time!

 

Let us know how you get on.

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

Thanks Peter!

 

Have had a look at the one that came off and it has part no 6W831007EC..is this actually an XF rim?

Reason I ask is that I called Jag today and they said when it came out of factory it had 18inch Artura on it..so one of prev owners has obv changed them.

Are these ok to be on the car?

Hi Mark,

 

I am uncertain as to whether they are OK or not and I would hesitate on giving a firm opinion on wheels  ---  they are a quite important part of the car!!  A previous owner would have had an MOT with those wheels fitted though, so I assume they would be OK.

 

Jaguar will probably fit a standard alloy wheel in the factory dependent on the size specified and I do know that they fit wheels from 17" to 20" for certain, and there is a body of opinion as to which give the most comfortable ride.

 

Probably, I would continue using the wheels you have and get a replacement or try to get your wheel repaired.  The only other solution is to revert to what the factory fitted and sell the ones you have, which could be rather costly.

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

Thanks Peter, should be sorted found one on eBay for £260...much better then £596 from Jaguar.
