Hi chaps,
Looking at a disco, which is fitted with what I think, are weller wheels. They are identical to these

My questions are:
Were they ever fitted as standard to discos, if so, when?
What's their proper name?
Are they any good?
I think I've seen them fitted to camel discos, and am wondering why they were used instead of steels?
What width is the rim?

Personally I think they look quite good, and are a nice happy medium between steels which I think look a bit odd on a disco and alloys. which give the discovery it's 'not a true land rover' look.

Sorry to be a pain in the ass guys, but I'm curious.
Cheers.

Are they any good? They are fine.

 What width is the rim? 6J or 6.5J iirc.

Lovely job, cheers boys.

Duno why I thought they were weller wheels, I didn't realize discos had their own steels.

Why is it people think they're ****e? I don't think they look too bad. Better than normal looking steels anyway.
Cheers
 
No such thing as a stupid question so I'll ask...
What's the benefit of having a larger offset? Is it simply a wider track, and therefore better stability?
 
Better stability is one benefit but a improved turning circle is the other, downside is go out too far and you will over load your wheelbearings.
