In the meantime, I'll be keeping my wallet nailed firmly closed and rolling on my banded rims...

There’s a company in Germany making brand new ones but only in Carlos Fandango 8 inch width.

Because they are rare.
And because they look rad!

If only they did them in 6.5" width.

Hard work getting the rims in a suitcase and you would be over your baggage allowance.Get them narrowed first, they’ll take less room. :cool

Could get the Overlander wheels and have a wheel bander take an inch out and still save a bunch of money I guess. ???It would be cheaper to get a set of LWB rims banded

If the same supplier could make rims like this, you could potentially get some brand spanking new ones for less than some scabby old ones.

I have seen lwb rims have the centres removed and rewelded inwards to give a tighter turning circle due to a bigger offset, this makes me think the above could be done :coffee

Could get a set Banded for that money and go on Holiday :RHD :RHD
Any chance you could link us to a place that would band steel wheels?
couple of years ago I sold a set of these attatched to a forward control for £6k... does that mean the whole vehicle was worth just 4k?!

I still wonder if Discovery 1 wheels could have the centres removed and seriers centrers fitted and thesefore you would have tubles 7" rims that look series with the offst of your choise

I have considered this too. I keep forgetting to measure the 2 rim centres to see if they are the same though! It would be easy enough to strip a set of LWB riveted rims and get the centre out. The Disco rims would have to be done slightly more carefully, grinding the welds out. Would be interesting to see if it is possible. I have a spare set of LWB and D1 rims.... :coffee

Heritage railways and quay workshops often have large laythes :bright-idea
Also are not SWB and LWB wheel centres the same but SWB wheels are cheaper ???

As the D1 centres would effectively be scrap, you could just plasma cut them off then buff down the welds on the rim.
Wouldn't necessarily need a lathe to weld them up either, I made a jig up out of an old stub axle. As long as you can rotate the wheel and get a dial gauge on the rim, you can true them up.

I have a feeling the diameter of the D1 rims is greater than the series rims leaving a gap. I suspect this as the series is a J section whereas the D1 is a L section. L sections will fit over disc brake conversions such as the Zeus kit whereas the J section wheel will not.
