Got my Duratracs sorted now, still can't make my mind up over whether to put them on the rims coming on the car or a second set of rims, choices choices...

Where did you get them?

There is a set of the 5 spoke SE wheels for around 500 on eBay

The base alloy

Been thinking of getting them

Also a set of 4 19 with adventure tyres. For around 900

They were advertised on disco3.co.uk - a guy in St Helens had them on his Disco 4 (with the rod adjustment so it would sit the raised height it needed to so they'd fit) - having picked them up today from him, I noticed he's now got the right sized 255/55 R19 Duratracs on his Disco 4 - I guess he must have had a change of heart Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

I have a bargain of the century for a set of rims (and throwaway tyres) lined up on ebay right now - the only problem is that the rims are located in "London" - decision time is about ten o'clock tonight... Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

Seen those, they would be in my garage but for me being up in Wee Eck’s Republic. Oh, and not having a Defender! Laughing Laughing

Gutted the set of Snort rims went for 90 quid and I never bid on them Embarassed

Anyway found another candidate set, 19's but not Snort rims and nearer...

I also measured up the inner tyre wall to central mount plate distance on my survivor 18" rim - 185mm, which is spot on (if I need it as an emergency second spare, albeit undersized by an inch) Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

Yes but there is a fine line between being a pestering tw*t and an enthusiastic car purchaser... Rolling with laughter

So... I saw a comment on FB from one of "the six" (whose cars were built by 12/3) and have given in and emailed my salesman this afternoon - and... as expected I got an Out-Of-Office reply (doh, doh, doh, slaps side of head at this point)
Doubtless I'll get a call in the morning... Rolling Eyes Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

Did you not get an email from them to say yours was on the way?

I’m still awaiting response from my dealer, seems he is absolutely impossible to get hold of!
