How can I eliminate the vibration coming from a buckled wheel?
My local Jaguar dealer has diagnosed a vibration coming from the steering wheel of my XF at motorway speeds as a slightly buckled front nearside wheel, probably due to a pothole. They have rebalanced the front wheels, which has diminished the problem, but not eliminated it. Is there any alternative to paying £520 for a new alloy wheel?

Assuming the tyre is the same size (it might not be), try the buckled wheel on the back.
Update: DM later reported back that this had worked.
