Default Any experience with these 16" wheels?

I am looking for a set of 16" wheels for the future. Maybe for the winter season. I came across this site for the steel rims that are pretty affordable. What is the correct 16" rims to get? They have so many dimension to select from.

And do you think there is a Land Rover center cap for those. I don't dig the Cragar hub caps.

They look like pretty nice wheels. I've never used them but I would consider them if they had the bolt pattern for my D1.

Bolt pattern is 5x120mm ... which is about 5 x 4.72, but you'll find a close match at 5 x 4.75. Lug nut thread size is 14 x 1.5mm.

Pretty cheap and that worries me if they will be strong enough, if of course, the have the correct bolt pattern.

To recap, I need to find the rims with the correct bolt pattern. As hilltoppersx stated, it would be 5x120mm or 5 x 4.72 and Lug nut thread size is 14 x 1.5mm? Does these measurements pertain to a 2004 DII? And how about the rear spacing measurement?

Disco Mike, the prices are very cheap but should not be a concern if I am not going off roading?

Unfortunately theres no trails here in Chicago. The nearest ones are 1.5 to 2 hours away.

The least I could find is abandon lots that has some unleveling terrain and some mud after big rain storms.

Those wheels are solid, i had them on my wrangler with 33" Super Swampers and held up great with all the abuse they took, even with leaf springs all around. I'd buy them.

5 x 4.75 is a GM lug pattern it's close enough, if you have time you can always get a steelie from an older GM truck or an f-car at a junk yard which share the same lug pattern if it's rwd then buy the rims if they fit. I'd buy 15" simply because tires are much cheaper.

I wanted a set of hiway tires and rims for several long road trips I was taking and off roading was not planned. I found a set of 5 '02 LR rims with Michelin LTX tires with decent tread for $250 on Ebay. They were close enough to drive to and pick up so no shipping or sales tax. I now just use my floor jack and in 30 minutes I can swap tires depending on what my driving plans are. You might try Ebay or Craig's list.

Yeah, Chrisinhouston, thats my plan too, to have two sets of wheels. I don't do any off roading because there's none here in Chicago but the winter season can be a bi*ch. But I just need to search for the correct bolt pattern.
