After a search found he was running 9x16 Weller wheels if that helps.

Yep that looks cracking.
If you're looking for sources of steelies to band then some Jags (maybe X300s, or perhaps low-spec XJ40s) had full-size steel spares. If not, then BMW 5x120 bolt patterns are close enough to the Jag ones to bolt up without funny business. Haven't checked centre bores yet though.

I'm going to ring Weller tomorrow seeing as they can't be bothered to reply to my email. What is it with people these days?!

i think my elusive xj has aftermarket steels rather than banded factory rims.

If money was no object... ...I've often thought these would look mega on a lowered Jag? As used on Cobra replicas?

I actually bought a train ticket to go and see that last year but didn't end up going, it's been for sale for ages, the guy selling it didn't want to describe what the body was like underneath, he said he wasn't willing to get down to have a look.
So in the end I decided not to travel all that way to be disappointed as these old girls do like to rust.
If you're local to it though it would definatley be worth a look.

when you posed the wheel question in another thread i nearly suggested banded steels...but bottled it as it looked like you were veering towards oe alloys. there is a black xj6 in our neck of the woods on wide steels and (i presume ) air...mighty low and growling attitude. always been behind the wheel when ive seen it but will try and grab a pic next time i see it. Got there in the end. Not a great shot but hey... seen why its so loud too....side exit pipes!! *greeeeat....got the pic....now it wont upload!! Ill try it in a seperate post.

Top marks for perseverance! They look like Wellers to me, After all that I've settled on some oem XJR wheels.
