has anyone found a cheaper supplier for 52mm bolt on wheel hubs for fit jag wires on your bmw .
ebay for T stag bolt on hubs £108 for a set of four with free delivery.
Jaguar - 8 TPI 52mm £86.50 each plus delivery

can just by putting the name jag in front of something make it cost 4x as much

Have you tried

I bought a hub removal tool from them a few years ago, half the price of any other supplier.

Orson did my adaptors for a 42mm hub (Aston Martin, the preferred wire wheel of course) and as a one-off set of four adaptors I think they were £100 per corner. Jag may actually be cheaper as they might have the design already done

I've got a set of 4 Aston Martin chrome wires in the garage if anyone is interested. I seem to remember they were from the V8. Fit to the same spline as the Jag, I had bought them 2nd hand many years ago to fit my E-Type. I've also got a set of bolt on wires for an MX5, original option on the Eunos.
I really must get around to having a clear out in my garage, it's getting hard to get into it, no chance of getting a car in it. Embarrassing as it is 4 car lengths long and a work area at the end.

Mine was similar until recently. Storm blew 1 of the 5 well-rotted windows out and it was time to do something serious. Several weeks later, 5 new windows (had to have a big clearout so the guys could fit them! So far 6 bays of shelving and it will be SO much better!

Jag & Aston may have the same spline pattern but the Aston is for 42mm hub and the Jag 52mm.

Wrong wheel / hub combination wouldn't be good

WCA they are jag series 1 so should be 52mm
