iomlt Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 New type of Mach 5 rims "seem" to be utter carp! seen a couple of sets and they are NOTHING like the orignals... Bar the centre spokes. I'd be investing in some orignal ones if i was you.. be worth the hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enzorover Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 OK... what would be a good alternative? The new ones are virtally identical to the old ones save for a lip around the outter rim. From a distance you can't tell the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Member Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Devon 4x4 Sell them http://www.devon4x4.com/products_a/c46/mach-5-wheels/0.html Good lord. Those must be the most expensive steel wheels in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert francis Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 a guy on here called pitbull was selling a set of mach 5 with beedlocks, dont no if he still got them or how much but might be worth a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzorover Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Good lord. Those must be the most expensive steel wheels in the world. Land Rovers are among the most expensive 4x4's in the world! But in my opinion, no other after market wheel looks better on a Landy than they do! I openly admit to being a little biased though....

Ex Member Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Pah, Land Rover do not need to be expensive. For the cost of those wheels, I could easily have them custom made and not spend half that much. I also like the look of Mach 5s, but that price is crazy.

I'm sorry, I hate to be argumentative but if that's true, why don't you do it?? Get some made, sell them to the rest of us and pocket the profit?? And I hate to say it but pound for pound, Land Rovers are NOT good value compared to other makes when you consider what you get. For the same money, leaky windows, seriously noisy under powered engines and 55mph top speeds would be completely unacceptable (save maybe classic Jeeps). You don't build/drive Land Rovers because of their frugallity...you build/drive them because they're Land Rovers and that's what you want!

patrick4wd Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 If anyone has an idea where theserims are made.. did mailed Devon and they told me I should wait for 10 weeks before any wheels are available.. so.. if anyone knows where these are made, please mail! thanks!

bobed90 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 This was brought up a while a go if i remember rightly. The wheels are still made by matt lee but for Devon 4x4 and they have the sole selling and distribution rights.I have had both the new and the old, there is hardly any difference in the looks. I now have the bead lock version, which are fantastic but i bought mine second hand as new they are too exspensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Can't stand them myself, never really saw the benefit of them either if I'm honest. Cost is plain ridiculous too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxtherotti Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 are they any stronger than a modular or wolf wheel?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Part1cle Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Could do with one earlier type, 7" wide without the valve protector, if any one has a tidy straight one spare? Edited to add in the UK - midlands preferably! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKMobile Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I managed to get 4 of the earlier type this year! Ended up buying 1 of the new type as the old style are no longer made because of some new eu law?? what is what i was told. Got the one for the spare from lrs engineering.
