Thread: 18" Compomotive Wheels

Wheel "RAID"
Nominal diameter: 18"
Nominal channel size: 8.5"
Fixing holes: ?120 mm for 5 holes
ET: 45mm
Load rating: 1000 kg
Centering diameter bore: 72,6 mm
Fitting: Designed to fit on Land Rover Discovery 3 and 4 with diesel engine 2.7 and 3.0 .

If Mr Germans rims with a offset of 44mm are fine I cant see why an offset of 45mm would be an issue. Noting that factory is 53mm.

Those alloys must be available elsewhere in the world, just don't purchase anything off Mud Tech.

Yes, curious minds would like to know ..........

Cost-wise they work out slightly more ($599 once you subtract VAT, then add import duty, freight and GST) and they've previously been asked to supply some evidence for their "lab tested" 1000kg load-rating, which hasn't been too forthcoming.

There's also the small detail of the wheel nuts that are needed to fit them.

Ask yourself why most of the Europeans buy the Compomotives.

Their styling looks slightly more modern than the Compomotives, the Compomotives remind me of a 1980's RR rim. Sorry Gordon, I know you have tried to get a new design happening. I understand that RR would be costly to change its design

It's great to see that he has been boycotted by this sites members in protest of his unethical character, that must make Grahame feel proud to have the support on here

POWER TO AULRO ❗️

I am indeed very humbled by the loyalty. However I have just about as much after-hours work that I can do and the kits keep finding their way into more new destinations.

That D4 no longer looks anything like that.
It got bought at the end of last year and the owner took almost all the parts off and sold them for a much reduced price.

Wheels and tyres were ?1000.
Sliders were ?400 i think.
Rack with all flooring parts ?700.
The underbody protection was ?1000.

I got 3 of the 4 underbody sections for my D3. sump, centre and rear diff guard. Delivered for ?760..
Brand new they were ?1600+ so a nice saving.

Good thread to read through for the 18's and tyre choices as i have the 4 pot Brembo upgrade on my D3 as the tdv6 ones were lacking.
It's a mod i'm considering for the future along with the LLAMS system as that looks like some cleaver kit to have.
