Looking for a set of five, 16" steel wheels in good condition to suit a Land Rover Discovery Series 2.
Let me know what you have.
alright....steel wheels on a disco 1.....what trouble are you getting into now Matt ??????? lol
::)
About a year ago ago I bought a 03 Disco 2 for my daughter to drive. It had a few issues when we got it so I drove to & from work for a while I got them sorted. Problem was I liked it.
So I bought myself an 04 and have been using it as a daily driver over the winter while the 110 was in hibernation. I really like it.
Gat a flat tyre the other day. Tyre is ruined. 18" alloy wheel was difficult to get off the hub to say the least with standard jack & wheel brace. So steel wheels would be better. Plus, I'm going to lift it and run a larger tyre size in due course so yeah...... I'm getting into trouble lol.
Yeah, now I see where you're headed. We've had our disco 2 for 386,000km so far, with a few issues...but we've done well with it and expect to push it over 400k before too long. I think of that as not to shabby.
Can your vehicle take the 16" wheels or do the brake discs cause issues.....I'm not even sure? :o
Wow, that's good mileage! Just go's to show as long as you keep up with the maintenance the o'l Rover V8 is great unit.
I'm pretty sure a 16" will fit. It was still a factory fitted option for Discovery back in 2004. I actually have a factory set of alloy 16" wheels from a 2000 model year D2 I could use but given what I'm planning for the future mods, steel would be nice.
Hope you find something that works Matt ;)

Yes, the 16" steel rims will fit no problem at all. That's what my '04 came with. I still have mine as I'm running offsets now for my 35's. However mine are not in great shape (many Moabs!), and I don't think I want to part with them anyway right at this point at least. I still need to get my D2 imported back into the US and I might have to do some temporary un-modifications to get it compliant. :)
