Thread: Help Identifying Rims

They are definitely NOT off any model Range Rover.

AFAIK, the only 15" rims LR ever used were on a mid/late 70's or early 80's model County(?) derivative called a Safari [I think] that was sold in Australia with ROH brand white Sunraysia style wheels and in the same style of vehicle in the US under a different(?) name and different brand of wheel rims.

I think you'll have to just look out for some at swap meets and the like, or like you're doing now.

G'day disco dave I was the one at the expo who sold you those rims. I was told by the guy i bought the truck off, that the previous owner had them made for his trailer by ROH. I will see what i have in all the paper work that i got with the car.

P.S. They are looking good I always liked them.

Hi Thomas, they seem to be a very solid rim and were a bargain at the expo. I paid $50 each to have them blasted and powder coated and they've come up well.
I'd just like to be able to get a spare (or something that would serve as a spare with the same offset or whatever).

I think you may be thinking of the Game, a Series 3 not a County - do a search, there has been a thread on it, pictures and all, but I don't think these wheels are the same.

Like this pic I took at Springwood (NSW):

They are definitely not game wheels, game wheels were 8 or 10 spoke.

That's it!....you're absolutely correct.....it WAS called "Game" and it was a Series 3........and I know that the wheels were different, like I said they used ROH 15" Sunraysias made especially for them........I'm not sure who supplied rims in the U.S.

The Game was an AUS only model, the US 15" rims look like a 15" version of a standard LR wheel.
