Madcowz Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Hi, I'm looking for some advice & opinions on rims for my Green 89 One Ten with cream roof please. I currently have a set of very tatty and rusty looking rims and I need two new tyres for the MOT. The good tyres are 265x75 All Terrain TA's. The rims are, I think Disco ones so have the wrong offset and make parking a nightmare. I've also got a spare set of tubeless 7x16 Boost alloys (and 20mm spacers) but I'm not a fan of alloys on a landy but I'm also not a huge fan of spending cash if there's a cheap alternative round the side of the house esp as I'm also replacing the steering box just now. My questions are: What would be the correct steel rims for a 1989 One Ten, should it be white or limestone/cream/ivory? Can you purchase these in 7x16 with a load rating for a One Ten? I haven't had much luck phoning Craddocks about the ones they have in stock. If I went for/can go for a Wolf rim, is it worth going for original ones or are the copies just as good. I've seen these: WOLF XD STEEL WHEEL but not sure if these will fit the 265 tyres, are these all 6.5"? And just to add to the confusion, I'm owed a favour by a local powder coating firm so can have them coated but I've been reading that this isn't the best option due to chipping and flaking and I'd be better off painting them. So... I'm looking for some advice on what to go for and also what people think in terms of rims and what looks good on their landy, and yes I know I will get loads of opinions but that's what I want as I'm rubbish at making the decision myself. Thanks, Heds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cchase Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 My 1995 110 came with the Wolf wheels. It is ex MOD so the wheels are black. I put 235/85R16 BFG Mud/Terrain on them and they are awesome offroad! Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I think these look good ^^^^^^^^. I guess my only criticism would be that the tyres don't fill the arches as much as i would like from a visual point of view, but that's just aesthetics. I have silver modulars on mine, but thats mainly because they were fairly cheap compared to other options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcowz Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 That looks good. My paint is falling off/down to bare metal in places so I'm thinking of painting it by hand soon and Nato green would be the easiest option. Black would certainly go well with that.

monkie Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I think these would be the original wheels for a 1989 110 painted with something lighter than Limestone such as Chawton white: http://www.paddockspares.com/anr4636pm-16x5-5-lwb-rim-tube-type-o-e-manufacture-black-primer-coated.html I've got black modulars on at the moment but I don't really like the look of them on my 1988 110. I got some good condition secondhand steel rims (same type as in the link) from ebay, £50 for 5 and I have sprayed them myself in chawton white. I'm going to put Avon Rangemasters on the rims for a more original look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Standard or Wolf rims Hedley, I don't think you can go wrong with either of those. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 bog standard for a 1989 110CSW was the 5.5 x 16 steels in ivory white [my 110 is the same year] but it's had XD/Wolf steels with 255/85 tyres for the last 8 years. these won't accept a 265 tyre.

I'm waiting to hear back from Craddocks if these White Modular Rims are suitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I'd choose the wolfs personally... I do however have a set of standard steels in the workshop you're welcome to Hedley? I can't see the width being a problem on the wolfs, I had 255s on mine which are only 10mm narrower than the 265. As for the powdercoating... it depends entirely on the quality of the job. PCing in the UK has a bad rep because of all the carp jobs done... I had to strip some off that I've had done (forgot to mask a couple of bits) and it was an absolute "Person Resembling a Pink Starfish" to remove it I'm not worried about mine being chipped, paint will chip anyway. And to tempt you... 8.5" Wolf rim... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I think Discovery steel wheels are 7x16". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Can't remember the offset of a disco steel but they pull the wheels right in to the car so you've got rubbish steering lock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 that's exactly why Hedley wants to replace his Discovery steel wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L19MUD Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I'm going to stick my neck out here and say stick the boost wheels on it....give it a smarter and newer look without being flashy. Plus they are the right size for your tyres and you already have them! No need to paint or powder coat either (you could get them powder coated black if you wanted to make them a bit more subtle?)

Snagger Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Discovery steel wheels and LR alloys have the same dimensions, so will make no difference to steering. However, parking a 110 shouldn't be a big deal, and steering lock with any of the LR manufactured wheels should allow sufficient lock.

Kevm Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I have Disco wheels on my 90 and never really thought about the steering lock being poor, maybe it is but I would not describe parking as a "nightmare" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I have modulars (7J16) on my 110, and must say that the available steering lock is a million miles better than with factory alloys or steels. When you start maneuvering trailers in tight spaces the difference really makes itself known. The only way I'd run factory wheels is with spacers, but I'm not a big fan of them.

They are available in 7" with different offsets - I assumed they were all the same, and while all six of mine were manufactured by Mangel, the later two that were bought for use as spares had the front face of the nave (spoked section) roughly flush with the inner step of the rim, while the older wheels had the nave stepped back roughly 30mm from that step. That will not only affect steering lock, but a mismatched pair could cause steering stability issues when braking or hitting speed humps at moderate speeds.

I didn't realise there were different offsets of the same width rim on such common wheels.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I think the offset is stamped inside the rim with the wheel size isn't it? I'm sure I checked there when I bought a new spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcowz Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 Thanks for your replies. I'm trying to get a reply from Craddocks as to whether these are rated for a 110 but they don't seem to want my money as I can't get a reply.
