18" Rims for Disco 4 3.0L : Sign up here!

Hi

Iam interested in 6 wheels in the 18 in. size.

thanks. KERO

This is now a sticky so hopefully the numbers will get there. Leaving aside all the discussion it'd be good for owners to at least have the option and good on gghaggis for organising it. Come on you D4 3.0 owners, you could probably save half the cost of the rims by buying 18" instead of 19" rubber!!

Thankyou Gordon for persuing the 18" wheels. So much BS going around, yet not enough people to commit. Hopefully GMAX will come to the party.
COME ON ALL, JUST BLOODY WELL ORDER

There is a set of 19" rims with MTR's for sale in market section.
Ideal second set.

Regards

Gordon,

Sorry, didn't see your post until today.

Happy to put my hand up for a set of 6 rims. My D4 arrives in August, and was arranging MTRs to be fitted on delivery. May still do this as heading up north in Sept/Oct. Would be good to have a second set for play time.

Cheers,

Cam.

Brick/Kero,

I need you to email me (so I have your email address) - I need to show GMAX legitimate contacts before they'll consider the order.

Cheers,

Gordon

Gordon,

Email sent.

Cheers,

Gordon,

Email sent last week

Thye question is in the title .

I own an SE Freelander 2 with 18 inch rims and a disco 3 HSE 2007 with the dreaded 19 inchers.

I drive my beach often and want to do some serious touring in the D3 for two years and in a year or two buy a similar bargain second hand D4.
so tires and wheels are big on the agenda.

The Overlander review of Coopers 20 inch is encouraging but still requires a new set of 20 inch rims, and the issue of changing when the daily drive becomes the off roader emerges which is problematic, as I drive off road for only a very few miles at a time but often!

Any advice welcome re the Disco 3 HSE 19 inch problem.

Re FL2 and D3 rims. I suspect not interchangeable because the following are likely to be different:

- stud pattern
- PCD
- load rating (from memory 960kg for D3)
- offset (53p for D3)

but check. Don't count on it though.

I think if I were you I'd get some 17" rims for your D3 and suitable tyres for offroading, maybe Cooper STTs in 245/70/17 given you do quite a bit of offroading. 17" rims are available from Performance Wheels or Land Rover or eBay if you can find them. You can maybe sell your 19s on eBay. Consider the cost of 5 x 19" offroad tyres vs 5 x 17" tyres. You'll always be able to sell any 17s for D3s, there's a very ready market. Consider the whole-transaction costs in these matters.

Then when you get your D4 look again at the problem as hopefully by that time there will be cheaper and more tyres for 19s. I also suspect that's the cheapest way to go. It'd only take one ruined 19 or 20 tyre to cause an expensive replacement.

As discussed extensively elsewhere the 19s can work offroad provided you get decent tyres.

Or, you could just buy 19" offroad tyres now and get going. However, they may well be worn out anyway by the time the D4 comes your way.
