Replacement Wheel for Defender 2002

[rmcn]

Hi

I damaged one of the alloy rims on my defender (dont ask how) but does anyone know where I can get one and can I use wheels off a disco of any sort?

Thanks

I know how much LRA want for a new one 8O 8O 8O 8O

You can use any wheels from a Classic Rangie, Disco S1, Defender (200, 300TDi). Not too sure about Series Landies, but sure someone here will know.

As for getting a replacement (where are you located?) I know Les Richmond Automotive in Melbourne were selling some recently. The wheel is called a 'Boost' alloy, fitted to S1 Discos and Defenders. Should be around $300 per wheel.

Compomotive also make a copy, if you search the forum under 'Boost' or alloys wheels you should be able to find a thorough discussion on this subject.

In what way is it damaged? I have the number on my desk at work for a place in melb that can fix alloy rims... i have also damaged a rim on my disco when i had a tyre blow out. will post details tomorrow.

As Mick suggests alloys can be rolled back to round. I used this procedure every time the Alfa Romeo hit a pothole :roll:

Just a slight sidetrack....


OI do you miss the Alfa at all? Was it the GTV6?

Mate,

I still have Alfa dreams....I sold it 10 years ago :roll:

It was a red 75 3.0 litre V6...

Cost me a fortune to keep on the road but it was a delight to drive.
