Pro Comp - Australia - Pro Comp Alloy Wheels (http://www.procomp.com.au/Default.asp?MenuId=MLS_WHEELS_ALLOY)

You will have to look through I do remember seeing one wheel in the alloy bit that would fit a landrover but I never looked through them all..

You would also need to check there load rating etc to make sure they can be legally fitted to one also

I had enough difficulty finding 16x7''

16"x7" is the standard size used on Defender/Disco 1 alloys so they are easy to find - if you are happy with the LR designs (which, in my opinion, are generally far superior to any aftermarket designs).

If you want 15"x7", I think the best looking alloy rims are the BWA rims (as seen on my first Rangie below):

Performance Wheels make the TX1 which has a 1400kg load rating (satisfies rego and insurance mobs) and is made here (Australia)

My personal favourites but they cost a fortune :(

Zu Rims Ltd - World Class Rims! (http://www.zurims.com/htm/spec.htm)

I think Rovacraft supply them in Australia

If you have no look getting the Performance Rims over there, I can send them over from the UK. We have access to most models & sizes...

I run 16x7 TX Rims for my 255x85 R16 but you can get upt to 16x10's for Defenders. Wheel Offsets also vary depending on size.

16 x 7 = -4mm offset
16 x 8 = +3mm offset
16 x 8 = +20mm offset
16 x 10 = -26mm offset

All available in Charcoal, White or Platinum colours.

brothers offroad in brissy did the tx1 alloys you should be able to get them....last year at the 4x4 and fishing show every second trailer had a pair on..

I looked into getting them for my disco as I really like the charcoal ones
