I'm watching and have the top bid running on these. What are the weight ratings on FFRR wheels? Are they OK for the D3?
I asked the vendor for the weight rating but nil heard.

A very fine looking specimen. Same wheel nuts or do I need new ones?

Same ones are . They fit straight on, no fancy sprigot wheel thingies or new nuts!! Wheel centre caps are the same too
Only issue that may be worth bearing in mind is that these alloys are not OEM Discovery 3 parts & as such it might be worth considering advising your insurer if you fit them in place of the originals, as you have effectively "modified" the car.
While I would certainly agree that they are the same size & manufacturer (& tyres are identical to Disco3) insurance policies require an absolute disclosure by the insured, and certain companies or at least their loss adjusters will happily look for any "out" when negotiating a claim

With NFU who were quite happy when I ran Cooper STs for a bit, although I did let them know.

Yes, I think that is the critical point, ie that you let them know

recent discussion with NFU on changing wheels (like last week). They OK with any wheel option that is offered as an option (but are unclear as to whether this is a manufacturer option, or dealer option and wouldn't commit either way). Otherwise, a 10% uplift on premium was required.
