I like the look of the steel wheels but would like a wider rim for 25 85 16 tyre's.
Deep dish steel land rover wheels are very expensive if you can find them.
I have some odd wheels kicking about and have come up with a plan.
Remove the riveted land rover wheel centre by grinding the rivets and cutting a slot in the rim.
Grind the welded centre out of a 6.5x16 weller/8 spoke wheel and tap in the land rover wheel center in to the reversed rim, true up and weld in.
You now have a 6.5x16 deep dish land rover wheel.
I have done this on my morris van and also my caravan in the past.
7x16 weller wheel rim is to large for the land rover center but the 6.50x16 weller fits the center nicely.
