Hi

Have a look through my previous posts. I've got a set of 18" hurricane alloys(need tyres though) and a spare steel with a good tyre.

. . . . and the 16" steel rims to fit the D3 are a complete myth as no-one has actually seen one.  So we're stumped. Arrgh!   >:(

i think a set of steel wheels from a disco 2 would do the job, same stud pattern so unless theres a clearance issue on the brakes?

Massive callipers! The coil spring D3 has 17" rims, but anything smaller won't go on. Also, clearance on the inside sidewall is a problem.  Might be able to fit a D2 rim using spacers, but is the rim rated for the weight? D3 needs 940kg per rim.
