Question - Steel wheels for 2001 TD5 Disco
« on: September 15, 2006, 13:01:49 »
Hello

I have just bought a TD5 disco ( my 300tdi auto is still for sale at £2600, 97k miles) and want to put steel wheels and get rid of these dam alloys. I have just been told that silver modulars won't fit, so what sort of steels will??

does anyone know or what sort of wheels do other people have?

Thank you for your help

There is a genuine steel wheel - don't know what they cost though.

oh yeah - have seen a couple of TD5 commercials with steel wheels - I think they are 16 inch, not 18 like most D2 alloys are (I think).

Thanks for that

Any idea of cost for these Mach 5's?

similar to an alloy, but these prices are for bare steel...

Why do you want to move away from alloys?  I've been running alloys on a D2 for a long time, including hacking through deserts and over mountains, and have never had any problems with them, apart from scratching them to hell of course.

The problem we have, according to landrover and our tyre specilists, is that beacuse we have to drive along a sea defence to get off site, the salt dust is reacting with the glue and that is reacting with the alloy, and it only needs a small pin [ed - prod with a sharp implement] in the glue seal and we have a flat tyre.

I have a D1 (for sale and cheap), and eventually I had to sell the alloys and replace them with steel wheels, and I want steels for the D2.
