Question about Rash Rings / Bead Lock for LR3 wheels - Expedition Portal

 

You won't get much help. Most of us are educated to the fact that LR OEM wheels are special and you'd be a fool to get rid of them for ones that are more "blingy."

On the plus side, you can probably find a buyer on this site pretty easily.

 

Lucky8 has compmotive wheels for the LR3/4. Links below.

Here's what I got,

From what I have been told these were limited edition only installed on 2006 LR3s. Mine was manufactured in Dec of '06, so it has the wheels even though is it listed as a 2007.

LR part number: LR048088

$900+ each, special order... certainly hard to come by. I sort of gave up looking for one more to act as a matching full size spare and I am very close to giving into the steel wheel. To make it worthwhile, I am likely going to buy five when the time comes as Canada have more winter than summer and requires tire changes twice a year. For all the times I have paid to switch rubber, I could have been halfway to a set of five steels and just pulling lug nuts and swapping mounted sets in the driveway.

Cheers, let us know what you decide on.

 

I like those rims....

...if you don't care what rim your spare is mounted on, you can get an 18" rim from a BMW X5 that fits. Back in the day they were simply easier to find cheap and one-off than an 18" LR rim.

 

Hey all. These rims on eBay are genuine LR and show a max load capacity of 940kg. That is compatible with my 2008 LR3, correct? 19'' Land Rover LR4 19" Wheels 19 18 17 Factory | eBay

Thanks!

 

yes they should work.. use a 255/55r19 wheel if im not mistaken

now i have had my eye on these for quite some time but im skeptical because they are replicas. Maybe one day ill find them oem and in the factory black

 

OH...

Right, I forgot about these guys.

Also, the BMW X5 rims kinda make sense. I will have to look into that as well.

The SUPERCHARGE rims are awesome, but 20 inch is not greatly preferred for trail riding as there is less sidewall to absorb bumps and fold over rocks and such. I actually prefer to keep a bit of mud on my paint to hide all the scratches, so 20s are out for my purposes.

GOOD THREAD, btw.

 

I bought a single X5 rim for my 32" spare. At the time, it was nearly impossible to find 18" 10-spoke LR3 rims, and finding ONE would be mission impossible; plus they were spendy for just a spare rim (which by the way has NEVER been on my vehicle except for the test-mount). I bought the X5 rim and a BFG Rugged Trail T/A with about 50% tread, mounted and balanced for $100 !!!
