Keeper96 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Hello In looking for suggestions for a set of alloys that will boost the appearance of defender but won't break the bank, any suggestions? Tia Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveG Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 You can pick up a full set of Boosts plus new or nearly new tyres for about £4-600 range, so just about the cost of four new tyres and fitting. cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Drumstick Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Personally I much prefer Land Rover's on steel wheels. Alloys tend to detract from the look IMO. However there are many factory alloys and the PCD is the same for the classic Range Rover and Discovery 1. Most will fit, although some the centre bore is too small, so you might need to avoid or do something to the alloy. Not sure if some can foul the brakes too. And you may need longer studs, but not sure. As I say, I'd personally not run alloys on such a vehicle anyway, so not really looked into it. There are adapter kits, essentially wheel spacers with a different PCD on the outside that will alloy Disco 2 and newer (p38a, L322, RRS, D3/4, etc) alloys to fit. But you'll probably being going up in price. Have a look round the Land Rover online shops, most will sell aftermarket wheels of some description. And will give you an idea what is available.

Snagger Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 What age or engine type is the vehicle? Post photos of the hubs if you can, as it makes a difference as to whether alloys will fit without mods or spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddychris300tdi Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I'm bot sure if this is against the rules but there is a chap on Defender2.net selling a selection of boost wheels and tyres at bargain prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
