Default WTB: Discovery Series 1 Wheel


My spare won't hold air and I can't spend a lot of money to get a new tire. So I'm looking for a rim and tire. I would prefer a matching alloy like the one pictured but a steelie will do as well. As for the tire, it's a spare, so nothing fancy, just a decent tire: something with decent tread, not too old, no dry rot, and holds air. Will pick up locally or have it shipped to me. I'm in San Jose, California.

Thanks

Why not get a tire from a junkyard?
Would likely be the cheapest way.

Cheapest one I found in a junkyard around here was $170 for the steel wheel and the original Michelin 4x4 tire. It would cost $150 to mount a brand new tire on my spare so it just doesn't make sense. Junkyards here overcharge in my opinion.

I'de say, those prices are ridiculous.
Wheels and tires at junkyards where I am are cheap, especially for one.They'll almost give them away to get rid of them.

I have yet to find a reasonable junkyard here. As soon as they hear Land Rover, the price doubles.

Discos are just thrown in the mix at the local pull your own parts lots here. They usually have 2 or 3, and the prices are the same as every other vehicle.
