Look to be from an early discovery. They are one of the few land rover wheel to fit a series

Land Rover Discovery steel wheel taken from the spare tire. Cost at auto wreckers $50 to $75. I forget what years they were on, something like 1994 to 1998. Anyone is welcome to correct me on those years.

I have six of them (none for sale) and got one here, a couple there. Closest was from Rob in Ladysmith and the farthest was from an auto wrecker in Calgary. Check with any auto wrecker and they are linked with a computer system and can tell you who and where there are some. Often auto wreckers have a shipping system so you can get parts delivered to a wrecker near you.

Yup early disco wheels... the uk discos from the early nineties gad these wheels as standard and a lot of series owners fitted them to their series landies as the have more of an offset and change the stance of the truck. As greg says, theyre a little rarer over here as they were only found as spare tyres when the disco was sold over here. I like the look of those wheels but you cant give them away in the UK as theres seems to be a big swing towards originality and rivet counting as series landys get older, rarer and more valuable.

Andrew, welcome to the Forum.

It helps if you put in your location on your Profile, lets others in the same area know they have a Land Rover neighbour ... :occasion5:

Cheers,
Andy
