I am still working on re-building my series 3 1971 swb and was casually looking for a set of wheels and tyres.
I came across this offer from John Richards
https://www.johnrichardssurplus.co....-rover-defender-wolf-rim-collection-only.html
Are their any forum opinions on this combination but the Wolf wheels would look good.
Also if anyone has a alternative suggestion of where to get a set that would be good. I seem to recall years ago a Landrover specialist shifting lots of ex MOD wheels and tyres but cannot remember the name.
Thanks
 
Are you expecting a full set? Reading that, it looks like it's a single wheel and they only have one available...

I'm interested in this, too, as the wheels are showing rust and the tyres on my rebuild are at least 15 years old. At least 2 need replacing (showing cracks) and I've only been able to find one matching replacement (Mud Plugga), so I'm assuming I may well need to get a new set to keep everything matching. Not desperate to replace the wheels, too, but if they come as a package (at the right price), that would be useful.
 
It says "removed from trailers" beware as the MOD sometimes marked the tyres "trailers only" - my ex-MOD Sankey tyres are like that. Check first.
These are big and heavy, and the tyres will make quite a bit of noise on the road. They are about twice the weight of a standard SWB wheel/tyre.
 
Thank you for the Wolf link and thanks for the tip about buying trailer tyres (that's the sort of info I was after)..
Looks like I'll be calling 4x4tyres next week -
