Thread: Which rims will fit a classic RR

Trav, its better to grind the axle end rather than the wheel. You just have to grind the tops off the axle ends flush with the hub.You have to do this to fit the Disco wheels on also. Now I am not ABSUBLOODYLUTELY sure of that but I am about the Disco ones , and have extrapolated to mags.

I thought about this and went with what I did, just did a bit at a time. It was tedious but now they fit on without fouling on the hubs.

I did this 2 years ago now and with a flogging off-road I haven't had a problem with cracking.

Trav

Hmm, opportune.

The LSE is currently fitted with S1 Disco steel rims.

What alloy rims would suit (its a 1994 model - among the last of the Classics) Also if anyone has pics that would be good, so I can see whatthey look like.

Ideally I'm after a nice set of alloys to complement the car, mainly for road use, and at a reasonable price. (Yeah, I know).

Vlad -- I would be trying to find the alloys which came with the 'Classic' Classic Rangie ('94-'95). There is a pick of the wheels below (but this Rangie is not a 'Classic').

I think they are one of the best looking alloys.



What about the 'Boost' from the Series I Disco and Xtreme Defender? They are no as rare as the 'Classic' and are quite unique (they were never used on a Rangie).

Looks like a Classic to me.

And what do you mean a Classic classic. :?:

The last run of the classic Range Rover was called/badged the 'Classic'.

They only came in Baritz Blue and a Green (British Racing). I think there were less than 100 of each brought into Australia (I use to have a blue one).

They also had chrome bumpers and few other bits and pieces. That one in the pic is not a 'Classic' classic as it does not have the chrome bumpers, but he has nicked the wheels from somewhere.

I will try and dig out a pic of my old one ('Rex')

Vlad -- that Green one is a 'Classic' (you can just make out the chrome on the front bumper).

Here are a couple of pics of my old 'Rex' (it was a great car, cannot understand why I actually sold it.... )

Very nice. Are they 15" or 16" :?: What are they called ?

I bet they aren't cheap...

Perhaps a LR wrecker type place might have them

16". Not sure of their name, but I am pretty sure they were not used on any other vehicle.

They will be very hard to find at wreckers and LR will want some body parts for one, let alone a set (got any kids??? :wink: )

What about the 'Boost'?
