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.
