ADLX Classified: Jaguar E-Type / XKE Wheels For Sale
by Gunnar Heinrich ::: Jaguar XKE / E-Type Wheels
FOR SALE: original set of Jaguar XKE / E-Type wire wheels.
Each E-Type rim is triple laced with 72 spokes – all of which are accounted for and in strong condition. By no means pristine, these 15″ E-Type rims are still in good overall condition, original, and were fitted to my mother’s 1970 Jaguar E-Type, Series II roadster.
As she no longer owns the E-Type, she really doesn’t have use for the spare set of Jag wheels. Though my inner gearhead thinks they’d make for good decorative pieces on the wall in her garage, I’m sure they could be put to better use.
Three of the E-Type wheels are still fitted with the original Michelin 185 SR 15 radials and one with a period, studded snow tyre.
She says she’ll gladly consider all reasonable offers. gunnar [at] automobilesdeluxe [dot] tv

Your mother had an E-type Roadster? WTH? That explains a LOT.

LOL. I’m told that in the above shot I was the young navigator in the passenger seat.

Somewhere there is a snarky, but good natured comment about favored and loved children receiving or not receiving their parents valued possessions.
A snow tire?? And only one??

Not sure about the random snow – somewhere there’s probably a fifth wheel with normal Michelin that’s MIA.
