They probably will, they were "Out Of Stock" for whatever reason last time I check a month or so ago.

Mine are actually extremely quiet. Drove down the road at about 60 last night with the windows down and couldn't hear them over the wind noise.

Awesome thanks, I have ordered it from them. Once I get my roof rack my truck will look very similar, except it will be in white .

There was a different part number for those wheels, that was black from the factory. It's been discontinued.

***Mild Hijack Alert***

Mr. Wolf

Where'd you source those rims? I've been thinking of trying to pilfer some out of P38's as those rims were used as the spares in the lower trim models, just wondering where you got them, as you obviously got them used.

P.S. - It is my opinion that you have one of the best looking and most functional Discovery's I have ever seen. Nice work.

Awesome, I wish mine was white. It may be one day, but the green has grown on me over time. :P

Not much use then unfortunately.

I actually just got lucky and purchased them from a guy local to the area. Other than sourcing them like that, the only other available ways I have heard to get them is either purchasing from the dealer or Atlantic British.

P.S.- Thank you

Looks great.

Hey Wolf- how do you like that size compared to the 265/75s? They are narrower and just a bit taller, right? Do they make your Disco a little more tippy in the corners? My ride looks a lot like yours, and I've been happy with the 265s, but I've always preferred a taller skinny tire off road, on bigger trucks anyway.

unless you are looking for used part. The numbers are stamped into the wheel.

Thx...although if I get some, I want to spend a total of $124, much easier to justify that way. Too many other things on the "NEEDS" list to keep messing with the "WANTS."
