How is the load rating on them amarok wheels???
I know Aaron40 put some nice looking amarok wheels on his D2 being fully aware they weren't load rated to suit the D2.
Cant see them being rated high enough for a D4.

Looking at the information I can find, the Load Rating on the various wheel rims available on the 2.7 Disco varied between 1030kg (20 inch rims) and 1120kg (the 18 inch rims that I have on mine). Other rims listed for the early D4's show load ratings of 1090kg (for both 17 and 19 inch rims).Quote:

I wouldn't have any hesitation in running them on a D4 if they released a version machined to fit. Photo below shows the back of the rims (Disco rim on the right). From the GOE website, the load rating requirement for D4 is only 940kg, and your GOE rims are rated at 980kg. These rims are significantly higher load rated than that.
The only real issue (for some) would be the offset. Disco is quoted at 47 - 53 (depending on rim fitted). The offset of these rims is +20.

Here's a look at a wheel swap in the opposite direction. ;)
