    Arrow Please read: Posts on 19" rims

    Hello all

    Your friendly moderator here!

    Of late just about every thread has somehow turned into the same discussion about 19" rims and tyres and this is starting to affect the readability and diversity of the forum.

    We have now discussed the topic to death -- please search for the existing threads and read those.

    For the next couple of weeks I will close any thread that wanders off topic into yet another 17-19" rim discussion because we need to keep the forum fresh and interesting.

    If you have something else to add to the subject that hasn't already been discussed in detail feel free to create a new thread so those that aren't interested in it can at least avoid it easily.

    I would also like to publically thank ozscott and gghaggis for resolving their differences amicably in a recent thread, which of course on further examination turned out to be not very much of a difference at all.

    Thank you all and I look forwards to reading interesting posts that don't start with "but what about my 19" rims...."

    As long as it's discussed here and you don't go perverting a discussion on say leather seats into rim sizes that's fine ;-)

    Fair enough rmp. I dont like slanging in any forum and I conceded that my early remarks in that other thread were inflammatory (and I explained later why that was so). Ghaggis and I showed 2 important things in that thread...we are both passionate about LR's and we were both able to put up sensible views and reach some common ground which (added to all the other enthuastic threads here) proves that LR owners are indeed a diverse lot with a sensible and pragmatic view of things! Its also quite acceptable to squabble in the LR family, but if a Toyo owners starting slanging at the 19 inch wheels on a D4 I would be all over them like a cheap suit.

    Cheers

    There's no issue with threads going off topic, that's just what they do, it's when they all go off topic to the same end that it becomes a problem ;-)

    I know the 19" rims have been done to death, but I just thought I would let others know that yesterday when I was in at ULR Melbourne having the Q093 upgrade done, I mentioned the rim saga to the MD. He was unaware of the extent of interest and is going to approach LR to investigate an 18" option for the 3.0Lt. Keep you posted.
    Not too posted though, I may get boooed off the forum!

    That is a fantastic idea.
    Perhaps we could get one of our moderators to organise a petition or a poll to forward to Landrover.

    We already know that 18" rims can be manufactured to fit the 3.0 lt D4.

    If we give them the details we have then given them a solution.

    We could then forward this to the other specialist landrover forums to gain even more momentum.

    Regards

    Chuck
