Defender rims

The first sign is elongated holes in the wheels, the nuts will also be slightly lose if they are flogging, if you do them up tight and re-torque them frequently you could get away with it for a good while. But it will eventually cause problems in some way or another, i've seen quite a few stuffed alloys from when we've done conversions for D2 wheels and people have fitted D3 wheels as they upgrade, the same as what happens on the cars. I've heard of 1 tyre place that re-balanced a set of RRS wheels for a D2 5 times!!! because they didn't know they located on a spigot...

Iv now sorted everything out cheers people for the help a member gave me some rims for a carton of **** and i bought new studs and have given the to the trailer place and they are going to replace them. I went and spoke to a land rover mechanic. He said that all defenders have the m16 thread and the dico1 its the disco 2s is where they change down to a 9/16th
