For 17" wheels there is also Arcasting Racer.
Load index equal to 1500 kg.
Are not very cheap but fantastic for off-road use
If you are interested, please send me PM

Just completed a trial fit and I get exactly 7 tuns of the wheel nuts (not 9+ with the originals) and of course there is no support from the centre spigot - so though 1. they look great 2. I know JDB has done 1200 miles off road in Morocco and 3. I don't want to spend any money - I have decided not to fit. I Think these wheels should be moved to the do not fit thread?

I'm confused, again! I thought he V8 brakes were bigger than the TDV6? Thinking about upgrading front brakes to V8 so I can fit these without spacers? But maybe the carriers are just a different shape as I understand it is just the carriers the foul.

Hi Carman,
You are correct. Maybe Al cope was "in his cups" when he posted. The Bearded Dragon

Hi, seen these wheels on a D4 at a show, will they fit a D3?

They are armoured 19"ers, they should fit D3s but never seen anyone with them as they are not exactly common. Bit too slab like for my taste.

Guys, I wasnt smoking something when I said about V8 brakes, but it doesnt relate to that style wheel, it relates to the early FFRR (L322) 6 spoke 19's. Due to the shape of the inside of the alloy casting, the 6 spokes foul the caliper on a TDV6, but if you fit the V8 discs and caliper brackets, it moves the caliper out slightly, and the alloy then clears it - simples

Al, I can see that could also be true for the 7/14 spoke FFRR wheels above but I am no engineer so would have no idea if it produced enough clearance without actually fitting them, unless anyone else has actually done it of course. Maybe there's a V8 nearby that I could do a trial fit? Advance Factors say the disks are 20mm bigger but I guess that would only move the caliper carrier out by say 10mm, which I doubt would be enough.

its more the shape on the rear of the wheel casting as it get down towards the hub thats the issue. If it curve out, then moving the caliper outwards from the center, even by 10mm, might be enough to clear the casting - who wants to try it?

Just for info I bought 5 of these, all brand new, on E bay because they came shod with 5 Brand New Good Year 255 60R18 Wrangler tyres. They're 7.5j 18 Range Rover wheels, early 2002/3. I tried them on my V8 Disco 3 SE and can vouch that they do not fit. They are a tad small because of the front brake calliper. It seemed pointless to try the rear as I wasn't going to fit them anyway, just refurbish the existing SE wheels before fitting the new Good Year tyres on them. Watch out for them on E bay next week.
