Baz.

I'm not 100% but I'm reasonably sure Gordon was the man that designed the wheel. He may have worked on an existing model and got those mods approved but I'm pretty certain it was his leg work.

I'm also pretty certain that Compomotive did not stock these wheels as shelf items, there must have been some contract or something in place to make them exclusive.

Might have that all wrong but that was my take on it.

Busy time, but we've been working with some of the key personnel in the UK to ensure that the 18" rims will still be available - the name may change, but the rims will be the same.

Cheers,

Gordon

PS +30mm offset rims on a LR are illegal in most states.

Not wanting to steal Gordon's glory but I am pretty sure the Compomotive 18 s were made for Bowler Offroad the makers of the Bowler Nemesis (based loosely on a Sport). Have a look at their website Bowler | Racing and High Performance all terrain vehicles

I was lucky to get a ride in a Nemesis last year at Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Can't you get them made in Oz?

Kev, I went to the Oz manufacturers first (most of them have the manufacturing contracted out to China) - none of them were prepared to take it on.

The rim design I ended up with was based on the Compomotive "Bowler" rim - they sent me out a couple of rims FOC for me to break/play/re-design. Brilliant guys to deal with and so I wouldn't consider changing now.

Cheers,

Gordon

You can order King steel rims with any off set you want. The rims are basically custom made to order.
