I am looking for some good aftermarket offset rims for a Discovery 1. Give me some good sites and brands of offset rims, either aluminum or steel, it doesnt matter. Also, what is the bolt pattern for a Discovery 1?

I agree with bluegill. Gulf Coast Rovers had the best price and are nice people to deal with. The 15x7 and 16x7 wheels have a 4.25" backspacing. Stock LR alloys are 5.375". These are simply custom-made American Racing rims.

The bolt pattern is 5 x 6.5" 5-6 with 5.15 Bore.

The only other option I know of for offset wheels is a custom-made one from US Wheel. Go to http://www.rocky-road.com/wheels.html to see styles and pricing. This page only shows 15" rims, but perhaps you can get 16".

For shots of the 15x7 from gulf coast rover in action, check out my photo gallery.

Go to Stocktonwheel.com They have many custom wheels, including Land Rover. Thay can also take your wheel center and put wider rim, etc.....

rover x? Sorry to sound like an idiot but who is rover x?

By Ron on Friday, March 16, 2001 - 09:30 am: Edit

Rover x (accessories). All the wheels are the same. SG, GCR, Rovers X, all are made by american racing. they come in 15x8 16x7 and 15x7.

They are not all same.
Some are American Racing and some are Unique.

By Ron on Friday, March 16, 2001 - 11:26 am: Edit

Rover x, GCR, and SG all said they came from AR when I asked. I know Unique makes wheels but not for any of these suppliers.

Maybe I am wrong? I dunno

The biggest difference between rover x, sg, and gcr is that gcr sells you the exact same thing for less money.

I 99.999999% sure that all of these are AR.

What does it matter? AR or Unique. They all look like shit.
