western Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 (edited) These steels shown in this picture will, they are very strong too. Edited October 4, 2006 by western Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 i believe the D1 steels dont have as higher weight rating as 110 rims, never heard of one breaking though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Don't know but they are almost the same thickness as the XD/Wolf steel wheels & nearly twice the thickness of the standard 90/110 wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 ive never heard of a problem from using them, its just something thats always said on difflock.com if this question is asked. not that i use difflock anymore, but i was top poster once (geek alert) so i remember a few bits.

Matt Neale Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 i believe the D1 steels dont have as higher weight rating as 110 rims, never heard of one breaking though. I think people may getting confused - the "rostyle" steel rims as used on the classic Range Rover (and later on the 90 station wagons) definately weren't rated to the GVW of a 110. I've not seen any figures on the disco rims, but as they are significantly thicker than the standard LR 110 rims, logic would dictate that they are at least as strong, if not more so. I run Disco steels on my own 110 and have never had a problem. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G4FUJ Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Do RRC wheels fit early 90's then, or was the wheel modified from RRC fitment? Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimAttrill Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Ok, trivial pursuits time .... anorak mode on/ why is a Rostyle wheel called that? Clue: it doesn't mean 'Rover Style' althought the wheels were first used on the Rover P5 anorak mode off\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 (edited) Proper 'Rostyle' wheels as fitted to lots of late 70's & 80's Ford Cortina/Capri/Escorts. RR version which has 5 slots/holes the car version which has 8 slots/holes Edited October 5, 2006 by western Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Neale Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 In answer to the first question - as far as I'm aware there are no mods necessary to the wheels to get them to clear the hubs on a 90.... why is a Rostyle wheel called that? [anorak with badges] Rostyle - the name came from the firm that made them... Rubery Owen. They made wheels which were used by a lot of the major (British) car firms back in the 60's and 70's [/anorak with badges] Do I get a prize???

western Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Sorry no prize. so are the RR version made by Rubery Owen or someone else like Dunlop ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Surely if they were called Rubbery they must have been making tyres not wheel rims? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Surely if they were called Rubbery they must have been making tyres not wheel rims? Nope , I spelled it right Rubery Owen also developed/produced this extremely rare 101 powered axle trailer http://www.4wdonline.com/Mil/LandRover/FC1...ed.trailer.html & now IIRC are known for Artic trailer axle components/assemblies as ROR [Rubery Owen Rockwell] Just found this RO advert for that mentions the Ro-style wheels Ro-style Wheels advert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G4FUJ Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Not just Fix Or Repair Daily vehicles either - my early 70's MGB had them and quite a few Morgans... An attactive, and relatively easy to clean (compared to the wires on my Mog!) wheel. Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
