Disco II Alloys

I have a 2004 catalog that shows rim style 3 ? as being standard on the Discovery. It's called Alloy Wheel Style 1, 7x16.
The model S had rim style 13, called Alloy Wheel Style 2, 7x16
Model SE had rim style 6, called Alloy Wheel Style 3, 8x16. this wheel was also standard on the 2004 Discovery Classic Country.
The HSE had rim style 16, called Alloy Wheel Stlye 6, 8x18
The Discovery Classic Town had rim style 15, called Alloy Wheel Style 5 8x18.
There was also an optional rim style 17, called Alloy Wheel Style 7, 8x18

In March 2000 the Australian Land Rover website listed the following wheel fitments for the Discovery:

Code:

---

Wheels/ Tyres
Standard - Five 16" x 7J alloy wheels/ 235 section tyres
7 Seat Package - Five 16" x 7J alloy wheels/ 235 section tyres
ES - Five 16" x 8J alloy wheels/ 255 section tyres
Option  - Five 18" x 8J alloy wheels/ 255 section tyres

---

The 18" wheel options were ProLine/ProSport (99-02MY), Mondial (00-01MY) and Triple Sport (99-02MY).

In mid-2002 the 16" Lighting (x8") and Polar (x7") styles were listed as an options.

I've uploaded a D2 brochure to the FILES forum,, this shows rims available,,
and lots of other stuff

These are the rims on mine - they are 16 x 8.

Mine is a 2002 base model 5 seater. I don't know if the wheels were on from new, as I'm the second owner of the vehicle. It was originally purchased in Adelaide, and I bought it in Kalgoorlie. The original owner had spent a bit of money on after-market roof railings & cross-bars, plus some bar-work that looked nice but not good for much other than shopping centre bumps (since replaced & sold), so he may also have decided to change the wheels. The vehicle had very low k's on it when I bought it though, and was running what appeared to be original Landrover supplied Michelins. When I fitted the GT Radials, I had to turn the wheel carrier over as I couldn't close the rear door with the larger profile tyre fitted.

A few people have asked me where I got the wheels, and seemed surprised when I told them that the vehicle had them on when I bought it. But I have seen the same rims on other D2's, and I have seen the same rim for sale on e-bay.

I was told once that these were the alloys that were on the ES models.

These are a design called Firestar (Mirage in the US). According to the Ultimate Buyers Guide they were available on the 99 and 00 MY Disco's.
