Hi guys,

I am looking for some 17 or 18 inch wheels that will fit my RRS to put some AT tyres on them and use them as my offroad-tyres. (I'd prefer 18" due to the looks but if the price is good, I'm sure I could also live with 17". )

Therefore the wheels need not be like new, of course they should not have any real damage (they should still be able to go 120 mph safely on the Autobahn ) but some little scratches won't put me off. I would need a set of four or five wheels (six would be even better).

Since I live in Germany it should be either possible to ship them to Germany or to box them so I can send some company to pick them up. But shipment is a problem we can solve as second, first please tell me if you have some wheels to sell!


Thanks!


PS: If anybody has a set of wheels with AT-tyres (or MT-tyres) on them that will fit the RRS I would also like to hear from him or her!  RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration

AT Tyres = All terrain?

MT Tyres = most terrain, mud terrain, Margaret Thatcher?

I have a set of standard LR 17" from a RRS 'S' which I bought for off roading but never got round to using as I scuffed my new 19"s and have kept them on.

They are just sitting in my garage, open to reasonable offers and I can easily ship to Germany or anywhere else in UK, Europe, WorldWide, states, japan etc, not a problem.

The aspect ratio of BFG ATR/MTRs is too high to fit in the wheel arch of the RRS and let you have full lock on the steering. I looked into them when I had my TDv6 and they just wouldn't fit. Pirelli have just bought out a new ATR in the UK which my tyre man says has become very popular with Disco owners as an every day tyre. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

@Tim:
Thanks for the hint. If I buy new tyres, I'll go for the Pirelli Scorpion ATR in the original RRS-size which are available in both, 18 and 17 inch, so there should be no problem, I guess.


@Mr Bean:
I have no idea what these are worth, to be honest.

In fact, I'm thinking of keeping my very used but still fine for offroading 19 inch wheels and fit Pirelli Scorpion ATRs in Disco-size on them (which works fine but is not totally roadlegal over here... ) since I won't get much when selling my 19" wheels as I know since yesterday.
On the other hand the tyres for 17" wheels are a lot cheaper than those for the 19ers, so if your offer is really good, I may take it!

So, how much is a reasonable offer including shipping to Germany?

If you are looking at 17" wheels then BFG's might be OK and they make ATRs and MTRs that fitted Freelander1 - try asking Npinks' team over on www.freel2.co.uk 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I don't believe FL2 wheels would fit the RRS, as we need a spacer/convertor thing to put RRS wheels on

I paid £450 from a dealer who had them on a second hand Sport 'S' before swapping for larger ones.

I'd accept a lower offer to get them out of my way. They are all good condition. Standard 17's as supplied on 'S' models.

I could offer them for £400 including shipping the 4 of them to Germany??

Hi Mr Bean,

thanks for the offer!

That sounds good, however I'll have to check which tyres at what price I could get for them since I know meanwhile what little money I could get over here for my 19ers (there's no market in Germany, you don't find them and on the other hand you also can't sell them ), perhaps I'll just stick with the 19ers on road tyres and buy a winch instead of offroad tyres!

I'll pm when when I thought about it.

Thanks. RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration

Hi Mr Bean,

the offer is great, thanks.

However I decided to go the other way and not buy new rims. I will use my wheels with semi-legal offroad tyres instead, sorry.

Thanks anyway! For that price you should find a buyer soon...  RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration
