check your ignition switch. if something is shorted or grounded out, it will heat the swich and melt it. it happened to me. its a potential that you haave the same problem as this guy..

there are no wheel speed sensors on an XJ. If you're talking about ABS components then the system needs to be removed and the entire brake system replaced with a non-ABS system in order for your plan to work. The XJ ABS system is not compatible with the 9" rear.

They can usually repair cracks and bends but sounds like your way past repair.

Sent from my iPhone because web wheeling is cheaper...

Agreed. Edges are not repairable. I'm sure you can find someone that has one wheel you can buy to replace it. Craigslist has tons of them.

I'm looking to buy some wheels. Pretty sure I need 15x8 for 31's. But my real question is what kind of wheels should I purchase? Steel or aluminum? Any preferences?

aluminum are lighter, but scratch/gouge easier than steel

15x8 is a good size for 31s

That's what I thought. Thanks for the reassurance. I think I may go with aluminum as it's my dd and I rarely do anything that could scratch the wheels.

Actually, Dukie I see that you have some 235's I am pretty sure I am running the same size tire right now. You wouldn't happen to know what size wheel you have right now would you?

Is it possible to sneak away with a 15x7 wheel for 31's? I'm sure with the $200+ I save on wheels I can really clean up the wheels I have now. Or do you think it is a better idea to just roll with the 15x8's?
