is this the theory that they would slice up the pedestrian your bull bar just tossed in the air? :police:

I've seen team-built rafts before, I think I'd rather rely on my Disco walking on water than trust them! :lol:

IIRC the steel wheels are actually the same as Series 2b forward control rims and have more offset. I actually had a set on my S3 LWB with 7.50 Trac Edges...they looked the nuts and filled the arches beautifully. They were an odd set, prior to painting in NATO green, two were pristine "BL Sandglow" (the same colour they used to paint Allegros, Marinas etc) having come off a Camel vehicle, and the other two were International Orange, having come off some dayglo fire truck somewhere!

Are they the same rims as the 1 tonne Series 3 then?
Iain C:
JA1983...I think it's something to do with the minimum cross-sectional frontal area that a component can have, but I'm not sure how Mercedes badges and radio aerials comply...
RRB, yes, I think so, although I can't remember if there are standard wheels, deep wheels and really deep wheels, or just the two varieties.
Whatever, the deep dish ones really look great! I'm sure someone on the Series forums could tell us!
Disco Matt:
I think Merc badges get away with it due to not having sharp edges aligned with the direction of travel, and being sprung so they'll fold down in a collision.
