Default Camel Steel Wheels for D2

Old Florida Road beat the **** out of my Style 2 wheels. Love the styling and how rare they are especially here in the US however I need function and heritage. Many steel wheels on the market but they are all ugly and widely used. The Camel Trophy steel wheels look unique and Id like to source 5 for my D2. Anyone know the part number for the steel wheels used on Camel Trophy Defenders and D1's?

They wont fit because the D1, defender, and RRC had a much larger bolt patter.

Very true a D1 rim will not fit a DII. There is an adaptor to make this happen, but I can't find the link. I should have it saved, but until the link is found I'm going to delete the post so there is no confusion.

An adapter? Im very curious. Honestly I wish they made that style steel wheel for the D2. Looks fantastic. How do steel wheels hold up to damage like the **** above?

The steel wheels bend and get damaged easy too if your taking your rig off the beaten path... but the difference is you can hammer them back if bent to get back home. couple steel rims out there. the Procomps are aftermarket and you can also source the steel spare rims that came in some of the d2s. but that is about all you can get...

Rover sold 'some' P38a Range Rovers with steel spares. They were 16x 7 if I remember right. They looked like the old Series Rover steel wheels. No odd cut outs like on DI spares or round holes like the Wolf steels. Just plain Jane steel wheels. Painted either white or to body color or even left in black, that's probably what you're looking for to replicate the CT wheels. The only problem is they're as rare as hen's teeth.

Nothing special about the CT wheels. They are just the standard 5.5x16 land rover wheel with sandglow paint. Disco used those. Defenders used the unobtanium one-ton wheels, which basically look the same as the 5.5 but are deeper. As someone said above, they wont fit on your car anyway.

Bummer to see those nice, rare wheels so beat up :/

Really happy with my terrafirma beadlock wheels so far. I think they're alloy. You don't have to beadlock em', I have the tires mounted regular. I think it was $950 for a set of 5 from the UK
