thanks guys, the tyres im running are MRF brand 'made in India' cross ply tyres, super traction 7.50 x16 on standard series 2a rims, but i have seen on my rims ROH Australia, they look like rover type rims. tyres are worth AUD $230.
i did a google search on mrf and on wiki it said they are the largest manufacturer of tyres in India, and they have been in business since 1946, if the alignment is good you should get well over 5 years on them, im not too sure how many kms they have done though.what i do is get new ones for the rear and get the rear ones put them on the front as the front wears the tyres quicker then the rear so then i get about 2to 3 years then when they are worn out on the front go and buy more then do the same again. i have found out that is the most economic way to do it with mine, but other landrovers may wear differently or the same.
oh the rims are painted a off cream sort of like the colour Svitzer uses on their tugs, and the blue is deep based tintable 'dulux colour' Snap shot blue in a Dulux Chromamax oil based paint, the whloe landrover is done in the same colour and it was painted about a year ago and is holding its gloss quite ok, i do drive around a local port a lot and always get slat mist on it,
brushed on too, i have to sand some areas where the cream is as i did not prep it right and some paint is flaking off,
anyway hope that helps.
Tony.
stop mud getting on the bulkhead outrigger 
stops dirt and mad getting in between the outrigger and tank
see the colour i did to the wheels
stops dirt getting on the rear cross member.
