Keep an eye on Ebay, often famine or feast but good place for wheels. Don't forget Range Rover 7 spoke rims, but not the pre 2006 6 spoke ones.
For tyres there is Ajs tyres (see site sponsor link), although I got mine (RR rims & MTRs) from Nene 4x4. There is the ongoing auction for charity as well.

Nearer to home, Chris Hardy of Hardy's tyres in Telford will do yoiu a deal I'm sure. Was chatting to him about him getting a D3 earlier in the year. He wanted rid of his Mitsi Bodsys Brake Bible

shropshire farmer, when you've sourced some replacements, let me know, I wouldnt mind giving yer an offer for the old ones if they've got a decent tred left (and no punctures)

Forgot to say U don't need different wheel nuts, the ones you have will fit D3 of RR 19" wheels. I use the same nuts for 17" D3 and 19" FFRR wheels.

I have a set off 6 spoke FFRR rims with GY MT's and the only thing difference is you need other (thinner) nuts. The inner diameter is the same. That's important as it centre's the rim. On defenders D1 etc the rims are centered by the nuts. On the later cars the centre of the rim centre's the rim and not the nuts.Roel

I do not think that the 6 spoke FFRR wheels fit the D3. You need the latter 7 spoke FFRR wheels.MY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange

Thanks chaps for all your help will keep ears and eyes to the ground. The reason why I need to get full set of nuts is the bloke who I bought from put a set of poofy 20" racing slicks on which have different nuts on also dont have the locking adapter so currently knackered. Probably won't have this one long. Really looking for a HSE at the right price. The family has run landys for years in some shape or form. Most recently a FFRR Td6 which I never liked TBH. Though so far I love the D3.

Probably being thick here, but I'm on standard 17" wheels and have had BFG All terrains fitted. When I turn lock to lock there is hardly any clearance between tyres and inner arches. Wouldn't larger wheels snag on the arches if off road tyres were fitted? 11 RR 4.4 TDV8
