Well the pics you are going to see are graphic lolz, heres the story, I was in normal traffic routine (and it was on a street not on the highway!!! when out of no where some lady looking like Medusa in a black Honda civic cuts me off and the turd looking lady brakes because go figures she noticed there was a red light and brakes so hard her car turns sideways and all of this at the same time there was a car next to me so tried to avoid a head on collision with her in front and car besides me and also had my little niece on the backseat and went to side curb and BOOOMMMMM humongous hit on my 19" Barcelona rim. Luckily we were OK and thats the first thing I did, then the anger I got when I saw the wheel, It was heartbroken and even had a tear of anger lol. Medusa hauled *** and my car shut down. Suspension was checked and was ok and now Im on the doughnut wheel but luckily I have a Benz C300 for back up ![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
So my question is to try to avoid paying $550 at the dealer (which I called Warren Henry Jaguar) I went to a place but they told me it was like a replica and cost around $250.
Places I looked at were
- Ebay ($400 shipped) reconditioned but Im guessing its original not a replica
- Finish Line ($300)
- Original Wheels ($280)
- W.A.C (wheels and caps) ($210)
Any advice will be appreciated, Thanks guys

There are several threads just like this. Most of these online shops list the wheels but don't actually carry them in stock, ever. Maybe you'll have better luck since your wheels are a little newer.

Whenever it stops raining here and I have the time I'm taking mine to be powdercoated. He only charges $50 a wheel to bead blast and powdercoat, less than half the cost of one new/reconditioned wheel.
