Hi Umberto,

I'm not expecting any info back now until mid-Jan, as most are off for the festive season, and Bowler will be pretty tied up with the Dakar next month. The last I heard from Matt (just before Christmas), was that no, the Compomotive rim won't fit the 2010 SC RRS (no surprise there) but they were about to check the 3.0 ltr cars, as Bowler are looking at using that model as a base for the new 2011 Nemesis.

I've so far got 6 'interested' parties for the GMAX forged alloy rims, so a bit to go to get to 15. The steel rims won't be available for testing until end of January.

Cheers,

Has anyone figured out if the Comps PD1880 fit over the non-Supercharged brakes of a 2010 RRS? Gordon, did you get any more feedback from Bowler on this? Tx. 

Wasn't there some hoo-hah over whether Bowler actually sanctioned those Compomotive wheels anyway?

Yeah, the caliper anti-resonance blocks on the "old" (05-09) S/C Brembos would contact the inner PD1880 rims, so Compomotive did not "recommend" fitting them... But it was easy to flip the blocks around manually to get them to fit w/o other issues (which is what the guy in the above photo did.)

Evening Gordon,

I put my name down with you a few weeks ago ref the GMAX rims. Just wondering how many of the 15 sets you currently have? (I'm probably now only a few months off needing new tyres, and would rather not buy 20" if we're close.) Does the new Disco have the bigger brakes now too? Hopefully that'll open up a bigger market huh!
Have a great week, hope to hear from you soon.
Cheers

Some news ...........

GMAX pulled out of the deal for the custom run - no available factory time.

I had the Italian Oz Racing 18" alloy rim sent over to test fit on a D4 3.0 Ltr at Trivets. NickW had mentioned that they advertised this rim as fitting "Discovery 4" models on their website. Unfortunately it didn't

Compomotive finally sent me a PD1880 rim all the way from the UK to test - it didn't fit either

However, I sent them back a modified engineering diagram of their rim showing what they would need to change to get it to fit, and they're considering if the changes could be made to their existing mold, so here's hoping.

Some photos of my MY2010 3.0 Ltr RRS with the custom steel 18" rims I had made:

These rims are for off-road use only - they're not load rated (yet!) and their offset makes them legal in my state, but not many other places in Australia.

You'll upset all the bling merchants here

Perserverance in stacks

Make a mean looking off roader

looks great disco4x4au. Was there any reason to prefer the maxxis to the cooper ltz? Is the offset standard? Did you use a 9" or 9.5" rim? Do you have any comparative feedback between the new setup and the MTR's.

thanks gordon. I assume you use the Mitchell bros system for height control! or is a better system available

cheers...............frank

No, I just use (swappable) shortened rods - lot cheaper and nothing to drill/break.
