    Hi Piriaka,

    As far as I know... and I don't know much.

    There were two base model alloy patterns. The early D2s had the flat spoke and the later ones changed to an indented spoke.

    If you flick through the Show us your D2 thread, you will see them both. On the first page, Hendrik has the former, Redback the latter.

    The early, flat spoke wheels are called "Tempest" not sure what the later ones are called.

    cheers

    According to James Taylors Ultimate Buyers' Guide the indented spoke wheels on the '03-04 D2's were called "Style 1". The Tempest style was available on 1999-2002 MY D2s.

    Edit: The 2001 Discovery Accessories catalog has the indented style shown on Redback's D2 listed as "Polar". According to Taylor this style was available on 2001 and 2002 MY D2s.

    I thought only the US 4.6 litre D2s had them but I'm often wrong (don't tell my wife that!)

    The Disco II Classics were fitted with a wider, lower profile tyre but I'm not sure if they also went to a wider (8") rim.

    I have 5 x No. 3 and 1 x No. 9
    he annoying thing is that the centre caps (No. 11) are different sizes And the caps for the Defender mags are a different diameter again.
