tried TWT and they claim they have nothing for the D3 yet.

Apparently Minty's have some options. Will investigate tomorrow. has anyone fitted non-LR wheels and lived to tell the tale?


Autosport in Midrand found me a 17 " and 18 " designed for X5 (thanks Aubrey) at about 1K each . I have decided to go for a 17" with a higher tyre wall to make up the differance . Mainly because this size is more freely available .

Haven't quite decided on the tyre yet , but probably a Wrangler ATR (I think it was ) at 245/65/17

Heine just chek that the wheels have the correct load rating, ie. 940kg, and that they will clear your front brakes.

Yup thanks Baben

Actually went and fitted one this morning to make sure . Only issue is that you need longer wheelnuts - which thay have in stock Very Happy

Not yet - but there may be an issue with the load rating - I think they are only 675 kg - not sure if I should risk them ?

675x4=2700:

That means that you will be overoading the wheels without even loading anything in the vehicle.

Your choice, but I wouldn't dare do it.

There are lots of genuine wheels available overseas. I bought those 5 from Nick at a good price. If you like I will give you a cost breakdown once they arrove so you can weigh up the options. I can also have our shipping agent do the deed for you - they are the best of a bad bunch of a-holes

Yup I've already told them that they need to find something better - especially since these rims are going to work harder than the standard ones

But I would like to know your landed cost please

Wheels have arrived!

They are here - apparently only left the UK last night 'cos the Hellmann UK guys were a bit sleepy, despite Nick telling them this stuff was urgent. The upside is that Hellmann SA might look into a bit of shipping discount because of the the inconvenience Smile
