    Just a word of caution.There has been a lot of rim failures,more now than ever and it's because of the cheap imported rubbish from mexico,thailand etc.I would spend the extra money and buy a named brand.I know of two vehicles in the last 3 weeks that went off the road and the rims were the most likely cause.

    It is possible to use the alloy Range Rover 1988 rims on a Defender 130?
    Are they strong enough ?

    Possible - probably.
    Advisable ? - I doubt it
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    I can vouch for the TX rims. Pretty much indestructable. I have them on my 110 and we sell quite a few to serious landy people of here in the UK.

    Attached is a close up picture of one on the front of a Defender & one of a 110 with them on:

    Heres more info on them...

    As has been said before, they arent cheap. But they are about the best out there.

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you for the reply, I will keep the near new Maxxis tyres on the Rangie and sell the Rangie with other tyres with the original RR rims.
    The 130 that I am looking at the moment have near new light truck Firestone tyres which are not the best for off road work so if a purchase this 130 I will fit the Maxxis on it.

    As far as I can gather, all LR rims have the load rating stamped on them. It is a seperate figure to the 16J 7 20.2 which is the size and offset. I have a list at home of the load ratings for disco 1, 130 stockers, old rangas and 110 stockers. And as I am now 2400km away cant access it but disco1 rating at 1370kg rings a bell where as 130 are 1400kg ish. Have a look at the stampings on the rim. 4 digit number all on its lonesome!

    can't find a 'kg' number on either the tubed or tubeless 130HD (Wolf style) rims.
