Anyone else got these on theirs?

[beast5680]

been looking at lots of discos and their wheels as i drive around(yes i know i,m sad) and i still havent managed to see an "ES" spec or any other for that matter with this type of wheel on, i,ve seen the firestyle ones this colour but not this type :?
I,m sure somebody will prove me wrong now :lol:

[Spooky]

I don't think that's a standard rim for a Disco, Neal. I believe it's a Defender alloy - as fitted to the 'Tomb Raider', if I remember correctly ...

The 'ES' comes as standard with a darkened 'firestyle' as you suggest.

Having said all that, they do look good ...

[Jake]

I've seen some ES Disco's with those wheels on.
Late 300's i think.
 :D

it was supplied from new(98) with them fitted but it was imported from france, so may be a thing they do with them?

i,ve seen loads of the other type of two colour alloy but none like this and i,ve seen the boost type on disco,s but only single colour

[Dave]

We have a disco in the village red one with the same wheels as those on it. I think its an N reg.

They're known as 'Boost' & are an option on Td5 Defenders, the 'Tomb-Raiders', as stated had them.
Oh, &  
you'll find quite a few here

[beast5680]

thanks BTM but they are not two tone Boost alloys on the 50,s discos

No worries,

Was it the ES, or the GS that had the 2-tones?

Aren't Tomb-Raider Boost alloys 2-tone? (msut be available?, try Equi-Car?, the breakers)

Being pedantic, the other LR alloys you mention are actually called'FreeStyle'

[beast5680]

i,m not looking for another wheel i,m looking for another disco with them fitted , i,ve never seen one :D
i think it is one of the aftermarket sellers does a copy called the fire style

[Bush Tucker Man]

I'm pretty sure there's a few around here, I'll keep my camera at the ready for you

[TimM]

If they are Land Rover rims, then when you are buying new a certain twisting of the dealers arm when you shake hands and a waving of the reddies can get any alloys fitted.

Will keep an eye out for you for another Disco, but don't hold your breath.

[beast5680]

Seen some of the wheels fitted to a defender in eastbourne today!! 8) did i have a camera with me? No  was a very nice TD5 90 with aylesbury landrover fanatics stickers all over it

[Jake]

aw come on  jake you take pics of everything :lol:  oh well keep looking

[Bush Tucker Man]

I know you've already seen this 50th with painted 'Boost' alloys fitted. I found another one today :lol:  :lol:, as seen below

I photographed it at the junction of Crabtree Lane & Long Lane.

I then drove Crabtree Lane, that's the one running south-west parallell to the railway cutting, I chickened out of the last 400(or so) yards, as it dipped substantially & the adjacent field was flooded. Not worth the risk.
Still................ on subsequent investigation, it exits directly onto the A1 - no verge, a narrow hard-shoulder &  no slip-road :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

[beast5680]

how can you tell if they are painted with all that mud on :lol:

[Bush Tucker Man]

Stacked in the garage at the moment, with the road tyres on them.

Hi

The two tone tomb raider style wheels that you  have seen were standard fitment to the last model year of the Disco (300 TD1 series) on ES trim i.e. '98 model year.  There was a premium edition also available for that year with the same wheels but also a lightstone leather interior.

If you look in the for sale section, you'll see a set on a range Rover Classic, also attached here...
