18" 5-spoke wheels required
Does anyone in SA have a set of 18" 5-Spoke wheels to sell?
I need 5, will even consider a set of 10-spoke if nothing else available.
Tired of swopping tyres for on-road/off-road

Stealers quoted me R22k for a set of 5 yesterday.
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?

After a rough GBP - SAR conversion how does R7K sound for all 5 sound to you ??
4 have only done 10k and the spare is brand new. They are style 2 18's
Drop me a pm and I can look into shipping if you like.

Cooper STT 275/65 18"
You need some? Speak to Gerard Pondard at Dunlop, or your local dealer should be able to help.

Apparently the 18" BFG's aren't available yet.
The General Grabber is available, but its still not as mud-biased as the STT, more of a dual-purpose tyre.
You can get 19" MTR's from LR - they will set you back R30k for a set of 19" wheels including the tyres. I would have gone for this if they had them available a year ago.
What was it about the STT's on your defender that disappointed you?
Are you looking for a 100% offroad tyre, or something more middle-of-the-road?

Found the coopers where not as good in mud , especially self cleaning , and very difficult to balance properly
