My apologies you may be correct. Bore dia. is smaller on a D2 so D4 wheels may fit a D2?

The 3.6 TDV8 Brembos are 4-pot whereas the 4.4 TDV8 Brembos are 6-pot and Compomotives only fit over the 4-pots.

Cheers Graeme. Yes I mean't the smaller big brakes [tonguewink] But thanks for clarifying the differences. In the end I'd prefer the Compomotives as I reckon a nice car like the Rangie deserves a premium wheel and steelies look a bit low-spec on these beautifully engineered, premium $100k+ vehicles, but that's my personal opinion and I certainly applaud TuffAnt for providing a viable and cheaper genuine alternative. Great to have the choice and options. I want a set of each now....

I know black is the current colour of choice but if I go this way I would be repainting mine. My choice would be silver, the same colour as the OEM "spoked" steel wheels that came with the Disco 1s. Hammertone Silver looks good also.

IMHO black and white look a bit too aftermarket. Silver or gunmetal (ish) looks more like you meant it and could be factory. Charcoal, argent, etc are all shades of this.

All of these "black packs" being done currently will likely change that perception over time... but that where I'm still at the mo'.

Yep, i have thought about offering a second colour, a charcoal or graphite could look good i agree. I will go with what the people want the most for sure!

Yep just bought 6. Can't wait to give the old girl some proper rubber for our lovely WA sand!!

Charcoal is my vote too.

Yep charcoal
