DII Steel Wheel Pics

[The Fourth Amigo]

I'm a Canadian (Cold Australia) who is new to this forum. I have a chance to buy a set of 16x7 Genuine Land Rover steel wheels for my 2000 DII. No DII was ever sold here with those wheels so they are a rare find. I'm quite interested to see some pics of DII's with these wheels fitted before I buy them.

I think Australia, like Canada, only received vehicles with alloy wheels from new. The steel wheels here are usually supplied by aftermarket companies.

I've seen them on D2s here and I think they are the same as the P38A steel rim, i.e., 7" wide. They were commonly used for the spare wheel on the P38A. If needs be, I can take a pic of mine.

Edit: the P38A rim doesn't have the holes like the D2 rim.

This is a D2 steel rim.

As per above. Some owners have a steel set for the muddies .

Thanks for the info. In Canada and The US the only 16" wheels offered were 8" wide. I want to run 235's, 16x7 Steel wheels are really my only option. I'd still like to see some pics of them on a vehicle if anybody has them.

I have aftermarket steel wheels on my D2 if that helps?

Here is a picture of a D2 with factory steel wheels I saw on Ebay. They came out on the poverty pack but not many round.

This is a cool one.

There were some early, lower trim level p38 that came with 7" wide alloys in North America.

When I got my first disco, I wanted 16" tires, went to local Bob Jane tire store and they had a stack of steel rims. I brought 5 at $50 each

this is how they look on the back door

Jealous. I wonder how much they would cost to ship over here. Are they a factory land rover part?

[LandyAndy]

They are genuine Landrover.Most D2s with 16" alloys only had 4,the spare was steel with a plastic dish hiding the rim on the back door.

Morning
Its been dark when I got up and left and got home the last few days but two quick pics of my D2a with steel wheels on the road wheels.

Yes, Land Rover part
I got them as origianlly my first D2 came with 18" alloys but off road tire selection was limited and then transfered them to the secound D2a. I still have the 5 16" allows stored as well, but have these on as the tires have plenty of life in them.

As well, one of my spares (I have two) is badly buckled. It was on the roof when we had a roll over. I wonder if an allow would have survived. I am often looking at the reliability of items, equipment and endevour to go for the most reliable. In a worst case scenario, steel wheels can be welded / re-shaped to get you home / rescued etc where as alloy - well, break one of those and you are done.

you might be suprised at the cost of shipping, if you do your research and take the time, you could get them in a consolidated shipment, a single container with other peoples stuff in it to off set the shipping costs.

Here in Aus, Triumph Land Rover in Adelaide are big suppliers. I suspect that there are many more around in Europe and depending on where you are in Canada, may be close / cheaper

Looks like you are a lucky man...steel wheels, a D2, AND a D6!

"you might be suprised at the cost of shipping, if you do your research and take the time, you could get them in a consolidated shipment, a single container with other peoples stuff in it to off set the shipping costs."


It's funny you should mention that. I have a set coming to me in a container right now. The main content of the container is a Defender 110 being transported from the UK. Sadly, the Defender is not mine.
