17' rim

I am looking for a 17’ Rim to use as a second space for my trip next week to Botswana and Zambia. LR wants to charge me R7500 for a standard 17’ rim, no need to say this is Censored ridicules….
Does anyone know where I can get a 17’ rim, I am thinking of a steel rim no fancy stuff

Help appreciated

Thanks Heine

If I may ask did you buy it locally?
If aftermarket what type of rim?

I am now thinking of buying a set as I also need to convert my Conquerors wheels and hubs, obviously not with original LR rims

Dunno if he mentioned it , but make sure you get the correct bolts for it , as the LR ones are too short . IIRC we also had to make the holes slightly bigger , as the bolts are 14 mm and the holes only 12 . But he sorted it all for me Thumbs Up

I would like to know what duty rating these rims have, because I know about steel rims that could not carry the burden of a fully loaded Defender 130? And do you have pictures? Regards from the Namib!
