18" Defender rims

Post by lowbox »

No I haven't gone bling...

but there are these cheap 35 x 12.5 x 18 tyres going - some guy wrote 18 instead of 15 and the order is here... they have a decent amount of sidewall and should be fine offroad

but are there any rims around (not chrome bling or spinners please...)

Maybe try Dynamic 4x4 rims?

They have a pretty good range.

silverline 4x4 in the uk make some nice tough looking 18"s to suit the older rovers, comin in silver or black, et0 - et25 offset looks pretty mean imho saving up fund for some for myself google silverline4x4.co.uk i think it is and you should find them.

Dynamic only go up to 17" :cry:

The silverline ones look alright but getting wheels from the UK sounds spendy!

I might ask for a price just to scare myself...

[edit] 155 pounds each!

my cunning plan to save some $ on tyres might be unwinding with expensive rims.

I remember seeing a full page advert for 18" procomps in a uk mag to suite defender/disco/rangie 5 stud pattern. I stupidly left the magazine up in Jurien Bay so I cant even find out who was selling them now.

I'd say it was probably large order of custom wheels which they then sold off in sets as procomp don't list any in that size for the defender stud pattern.

They looked horn though :twisted:

I've sort of given up on the idea, looks like the cheap tyres wold be negated by expensive rims so would just end up pricey.

18" muds would quite be the fashion statement :roll:
