I've just got a 2004 x-type estate diesel (2.0) fitted with 3 17" Belize alloys and one which isn't . At first glance it looks the same but on closer inspection it seems to be a replica or even a 'libra' style one as far as I can tell.

I've looked on ebay for either a single belize alloy or a set of four that look good and will fit.

Some of the ones I've seen are advertised to fit an S type and some say s type or x type , so my question is will 17" or 18" S type alloys fit on an X type without any problems.

Or as a really long shot does anyone in the North west area have a Belize alloy they would like to sell.

Thanks

X-type and S-type have different Offsets - save your money until the right wheel comes up...

Have tried a single replacement from a dealer - or even tried the Jag classifieds on PH?

I'm close to sourcing a single belize alloy and also a full set but the s type ones I'd seen were good value for a set of 4 and looked the part

I'll have a mooch in the classifieds now see what that turns up

Set up an eBay search. I managed to find one matching alloy for my S-Type quite quickly.

Thanks, I have actually located a single alloy on ebay at a reasonable price but the existing tyres are a cheap brand , still can't decide whether to buy 4 new alloys / tyres or 4 used but with good branded tyres and replace the lot.

I'm watching a full set for £200 which fit the bill but I'm certain they'll go higher before the auction ends , the single alloy with tyre can be had for £120 delivered.

I'll have one or the other by the weekend.
