I would think yes, they look like early Defender alloys.

That's what I thought aswel, am not 100% wanted to know before I pay for them then find out they dont

they might do.

Have you asked someone who knows? what did they say?

yes.... but they'll rattle on the hubs a bit and won't be 'hub centric'.
You need the correct Compomotive bolts too and they're very difficult to come across if they're not with the wheels already.

Without hubcentric, they're a pain to bolt up as you have to hold them central over the studs to get the nut on.

Got them on mine at present (on disco disked axles) pics on the link below.

They are not genuine Land Rover alloy wheels, but assuming they are what I think they are they will fit. If they are the correct PCD then they are definitely for Land Rover as you won't find other 4x4 wheels from different vehicles the same PCD.

But you might need a certain type of alloy wheel nut for them. I had an awesome set of BWA aftermarket alloys on my Series 2a years ago with incorrect nuts. I just made sure they were kept tight but was pretty foolish in hindsight. Damn it looked good though.

Well spotted they are compomovtive wheels, what if I just use wheel nuts made for alloy wheels? Or do they have to have compomovtive wheel nuts?

On closer inspection judging by the logo on the hub cab you'll have no problems with fitment.
Difficulties with alloys arise when you don't have that wide opening in the centre of the wheel which sometimes fouls hubs depending on your axle. eg. boost alloy on drum brake defender axle.
Wheel nut comment still stands though. If you're super-keen you can get a machine-shop to turn you up a set of nuts to fit.....

Try ?

What the chuff is modication in real time??

No... They're quite specific nuts. Quite a narrow OD and a tight fit to get over the lack of hubcentric.

Look good though.

Thanks guys yeah I think these have come off a discovery, but I've got rear drum axle on my 90 thinking am going to just have to risk it and buy them anyway and prey they will fit

Haha point taken but I think it was a early discovery

They're after market they'll fit fine! Doesn't matter if they came off a disco or not, whatever the age if you've got a massive hole in the middle like they do they'll go on anything.. they look good!

for example:



That's a 1990.

Sorry for plagiarising photo. No idea who's it is..

The centre caps just pop out if you don't like them
