Thread: Steel rims

Not sure why they wouldn't be legal - unless the load rating is not adequate - might be more about availability.

Are you aware of the Tuffant Steel rims that have just come onto the market here? Discovery 18" wheels | Land rover 18" rims | Tuffant

Andrew (apom) is a vendor here see this thread from more info if you're interested.... 18" Steel Wheels now available for Discovery 3, 4 and 5

Offset looks way out. The tyre was either just outside or even with wheel arch.

They look like the Dynamic 17" wheels which had an offset of +30mm, so illegal in Aus. It is a D3 in the vid, so 17" fit fine - it's the offset that causes the problems in Australia.

The new Tuffant 18" steel wheels are the way to go for 3L D4s.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't like the look of the Tuffant rims.

If style is a concern when buying wheels, people buy alloys instead of steel. That’s what the compomotives are for.

I ordered Tuff Ants because style is at the bottom of my list of priorities for 18” D4 wheels.

Me either, luckily i dont have to worry so much with wheel sizes.
But good for those with no other option.

Gecko and King wheels do steel rims for the D3/D4 also.
