Default Where on earth to buy steel wheels?

Hey guys. One quick side question I can’t seem to find a ton of info on.

I want to go ahead and throw wheels and tires on the discovery as soon as I get the motor running again. However, from what I can tell the lug pattern is 5x6.5 or 5x165.1 and I cannot find any basic looking aftermarket steel wheels with that lug pattern, and since I plan to offroad it, I don’t want to get hub adapters, and I don’t want the 6.5 inch width wheels Atlantic British sells. Any other options?

Thanks!

Rovers North has some options, but they're pricey.

They're cheaper from the UK, but shipping would probably negate the lower price.

Are your current wheels in decent shape? If so, I'd just mount new tires on the current wheels.

The current wheels are in decent shape, but I may be committing a crime saying this, but I just think the stock river wheels are some of, if not the ugliest wheels ever made. I hate them. lol

yes kind of hard to find the original steel wheels in the US - there are always used one offs on ebay but UK has a ton but shipping is expensive

Dirt cheap in the UK but the stealers in the US want an arm and a leg

Yeah it’s crazy here. I hate it. I can’t find a good set.
