94 D1 wheels

**cmack** · 27th July 2021, 07:40 PM

Hi Everyone, this is my second post only so still finding my way around. I recently purchased a 94 D1 300 TDi manual 7 seater and am working through the list of jobs to tidy it up. One thing I would greatly appreciate is what options do I have with regards to replacing my standard white steel rims? E.g. do wheels from a similar age Defender fit? I have taken advice from others here and fitted an engine guard temp alarm and had the cam belt kit fitted so I am now looking forward to clocking up some kms.

Thanks & regards,

Welcome to the forum.

Yes Defender wheels will ft.

BUT
Disco rims are 16x7" Defender 110 and 90 steel rims are 16x5.5" 130 rims are 16x6.5" and have less offset. I think the Defender alloys are wider.

What are you trying to achieve?

Tony

I really like the ZU rims or similar. They look the ducks guts on most LRs.

Thanks Tony,

I have no particular plan in mind, I was just asking in case it opened up another market of where to look. I.e. considering the Defender wheels as an option.

I would like to get alloy wheels to replace the original steel rims.

Cheers.

Try Range Rover Classic rims and mags.

Could be a more suitable choice of s/hand ones available for sale.

Why not just get Disco 1 alloy rims - there must be about 6 different styles for the D1 then there were aftermarket alloys from the same time period.

There are a few sets advertised on Gumtree,

Wheel Alloy 5 Races Original Land Rover Discovery 1 Range Rover RTC9526 Sivar | eBay

and I am sure organisations like TR Spares in SA will also have them.

D1 alloys are plentiful and cheap, might even get some decent rubber on a set if your lucky.

Thanks to all for the advice. I did find a good set, with good tyres, from TR Spares. Thanks 101RRS.
