Thread: wheel dilema

The 16" rims should be fairly easy to get also, cheap also.

18" wheel increase the cost of tyres by a fair bit. The 18" wheels should go on without modifications though. They did come with longer steering stops but I don't think you need them.

I would echo that, the 18's really limit your tyre choice. I stayed with 18's because that was what was on the vehicle already but would not be going to 18's if I already had 16's. Have a look at wrecking notices in the markets section I think that there was a D2 v8 being wrecked with alloys available.

thanks guys
I have been trawling the net and this site without much luck on the 16's but have found a few 18's and am aware of the tyre choice and cost factors I don't wish to change to 18's unless there is no other option
It is a case of which option comes up before I run out of rubber.

There's heaps of options in the standard offset (both aftermarket and second hand sellers)! It's only when you start looking for something a bit special that the options quickly reduce!

You could always just get some Dynamic steel wheels to suit if you want cheap new wheels and aren't too worried about the look.

Keith, would help if we knew where you were. There are good LR wreckers in most states and good rims seem to retail between 100 - 150 (often with tyres on. Yes usually cheaper via here etc eg I got 5 tyres and alloy rims for $450.
So, say where you are and you'll get some responses.

When 'trawling' the net did you see these (only about 6 sets of 16's on eBay )

Discovery 2 Wheels | eBay

Or the markets section here:

http://www.aulro.com/afvb/wheels-tyr...els-tyres.html

http://www.aulro.com/afvb/wheels-tyr...-standard.html

That's about 10 sets in 3 minutes

If none of them suit you how about call triumph rover spares in south oz? Or call discovery spares?

This one anywhere near you? http://www.aulro.com/afvb/wrecking-n...2-v8-auto.html
