Does anybody know if there are any 16" x 7" steel wheels available to suit Discovery 2?

Shaker,
I don't know if there are any aftermarket wheels available but the bottom-of-the-range Disco2 came out with steel 16x7 rims.
Knowing what Landrover prices are like I would think that they would be rather pricey as replacement parts ex Rover.

If you can find out the hole spacing and diameter,(it may be in the owners handbook) this will give you a good start point.

You could try googling "ROH" wheels or talking to any of the better tyre places who offer upmarket wheels etc. They may have a better idea of possible replacements

As another option look for "Land Rover International" mag at any good newsagent. There are plenty listed in that. Unfortunately they are in UK but it may be worth investigating a direct import if you can't find anything suitable locally.

Disco.

Not sure but they might be the same pattern as a Defender. If they are, you're laughing cos there are plenty about. Even the offset has a fair bit of tolerance so shouldn't be a problem. Anyway, register for this website:

and put the question to them - they'll put you right

or

Don't know what state you're in but you can ring this mob at "All Four x 4 spares" which have dealt with Landrover for years. They're open Saturday mornings and will know the answer. They might even have a used set in - they deal with re-cycled and new parts. Based in Newcastle NSW.

There are plenty of LR specialists around without having to go to the Dealership and pay their prices.

btw, if you're in Queensland there's one in Hervey Bay, Cairns and I'm sure plenty in Townsville with all the Army Land Rovers around

Disco 2 wheel pattern is different to all Defenders. Defenders have to older classic wheel pattern.

Genuine disco 2 steel wheels come up on e-bay from time to time. Wolf wheels may also have the D2 pattern.
