Any reasonable alternative to the standard 19" alloys
New D3 HSE 08 (hopefully) arriving next week.
IMHI the standard 19" alloys are a bit boring. I don't want to go up to 20" but would like something a bit more interesting.
Anyone have any ideas?
If TPM is fitted, can I fit the valve mounted sensors to the replacement alloys?
(still not sure if LR will make my the one I ordered with TPM in time for months holiday in 2 weeks time so may take one without instead)

Open to ideas - it's Stornoway Grey and Ebony - would really like 20" but Mrs DD wouldn't appreciate the exorbitant cost!

I have seen some 19" RRS Wheels with Wrangler F1 255/50 R19Y
Does anyone know whether this combination would fit a D3?

HI JC100
they will fit but the rolling diameter is small and also the trye load rating is likely to be less than the 111 spec for a D3.
Been there.....along witha few others on here....... end of an era ....... maybe a Defender when it appears.......

Thanks Spotter.
Thats a shame. Do you or anyone know the best size and rated tyres for 19" wheels?
Best Regards
JC
Stock 19" size is 255/55 anything different from that will throw your speedo out
Load rating needs to be at least 111, anything lower than that will probably invalidate your insurance & warranty and be more liable to puncturesThe End

As stated above, colouring the wheels really changes the whole look of them and the Disco, as I recently had mine done Anthracite and love the result
