Ok, I'm still waiting back on the offset information from www.fourbys.com.au as they are waiting on Advanti for the info themselves (or the people who machined the blanks for them)..

Speak to AndrewS on the otherside he is selling MTRs at the moment and never seems to have a problem. Wouldn't it be cheaper to import them from the UK? |

drevs, FYI I caught a post on discoweb that may be of your interest. An indepedent shop in Philly, PA, claims they have an incoming container from Europe containing several sets of 19" MTRs. I would have posted this on rr.net, but since we seem to have gone back in time on that forum today I want to make sure you get this... Good luck pursuing this lead, as you can see I tried getting more info from the original poster w/o luck. http://www.discoweb.org/forums/showthread.php?t=35859 |

Cool, thanks for the heads up. The longer this info ISN'T posted on RR.net, the better my chances! |

AndrewS is on www.disco3.co.uk He is currently selling MTRs plus wheels for £200 each I think. HTH |

The guy in Pennsylvania says they should cost about $405 by the time they clear Customs and get to his warehouse, so that would be competitive with £200 from the UK once you figure the pityful exchange rate of the Dollar. At least they are here and shipping to US customers won't be as expensive as it would be from the UK. But by the time you get 5 of them delivered and find four used 19" rims to fit them on, I figure you'll be out a good $3,000... I am so glad my car did NOT come with Brembos now! |

Drevs I have D3/LR3 18" 10 spoke alloys on my RRS, they fit OK, but are a b*gger to clean the mud out of the back of the rims even with a powerwasher, you need to find a good fast flowing stream or river to clean them after doing muddy stuff. Heres' what they look like and are available at great expense from your friendly LR dealer!
They are not dished and they have suffered a small amount of scuffing, mainly because we do a lot of rut driving in these parts. In the UK and I assume Europe these are now the no cost optional 18" wheels for S and SE models, in 2005 when I bought the car I had to pay extra for them........ 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it 2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced 2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW Last edited by Tim in Scotland on Sun Jun 10 2007 5:03pm.

Those are the same OEM 18s I run, and unfortunately they would not clear the front Brembos on a S/C or DR equipped Sport. |

Yeah, after I posted that I re-read the thread and saw where you mentioned that. I had the dealer test fit an LR3 wheel this past week. After removing the caliper blocks they said it fit, but rubbed against the outside of the caliper. The search continues... |

Drevs, that's a shame about the test wheels rubbing on the calipers... But it's good to know that it wasn't an option to use the standard wheels.
