On the site they say they are suitable however I have not seen them mentioned here or on the Disco4 site.

They look like a good alternative as an 18 inch rim.



My car arrives in mid-late December, just before Xmas and comes with the 20inch black pack rims. Am I better suited to get the 19 inch black pack rims and add some better All Terrain gyres so I don't need to switch wheels?



Thank you

Chris

Just go with the 20's - there's more choice of tyre than 19s - let them down to 16 and you'll go almost anywhere - especially on the sand

If you will ever use snow chains better check if they will fit 20" wheels on a D4.
Look at the clearance around the front wheels.

Read a thread the other day about snow chains - I think you have to use slimline ones

It's about the width of the rim. If they're 10" and 275mm tyres then yeah there's less than 10mm to the front strut and you'll be up for roughly $700 for front chains.

So perhaps stick with the 20's for now and get a set of good all terrain tyres for the sand.

If you have just spent near on $100,000 on a car, why skimp on rims that might fit, just get the GOE rims, they look good, they aren't that much dearer AND they fit.

That's just it I like the look of other rims better than the GOE, perhaps I need to see more photos of them. Spending nearly $90k on a Disco means I don't want to compromise and want to know what options are available. On my Amarok, the 3rd party rims with BFG's looks so good I leave them on all year round.
The GOE rims although seem logically like the best solution regardless of appearance. I plan to head to the Simpson next year and they would 100% be the rim for that trip.

I was unsure about the look of GOE rims to, but they look awesome in the flesh

Gordon (GOE) is/was developing a second style of the 18" for D4/RRS. From memory last post had a late 2015, early 2016 release.

Any further update gghaggis?
