Very nice, wasn't it on EBay a few months ago....very well modded.
Yes it was sometime back. Well modded yes but not compared to some, such as the above.

Most actual :
"Almost stock" L-series MY'00 :der:
I love the finish on the wheels. I think my triple sports in gloss black would look good too.

It's still unfinished . I need to make new interior trims (match it to roll cage paint and safety harness) , and some engine mods for more torque.
Brakes are finished and uprated :
Now we start some engine mods. Winter is a good time to do garage jobs. SES88 made some nice pipework for new boost system , but this is only a first step.
Trim works starts on spring.

I'm sure they are 5x114 as Evo wheels fit Type R's. Not sure on the centre bore though.
Do you need to use wobbly bolts to cater for the -0.3? Or the wheel but equivalent?

I'm currently driving a W reg 1.8 manual SW that is in 2WD mode.
I'm very impressed with the 1.8. It is so nice to drive a petrol again. I couldn't afford the fuel bill, but it feels faster than my TD4. I wouldn't want a manual either. Driving around South London in and out of gear..... no thanks. The v6 would be even better, but at 15-20,000 miles a year I would need a mortgage to pay for the fuel.. :lol:

Sleeved instead of tapered bolts and they are an exact fit as they are 114.3.

Interesting to know, centre bore same size and everything?

Yes. I've got spacers fitted and they fit the centres like a glove. Obviously they have a different off-set though. Not sure by how much, but they would still stick out enough even without spacers. I would recommend them to anyone wanting something different on their Freelander although the sleeved nuts are a must.

Do you have a link for the sleeved nuts? The white wheels would go lovely with my cairns blue paint, couple of sets on eBay at the moment as well, very tempting

Iirc LR specify + or - 0.5 mm on the standard 114.3mm pcd so 114mm would fall inside that spec.

I like the petrol Freelanders myself. The 1.8 is faster than the diesel equivalent. The 2.5 V6 is in a different league in both performance and thirst. I do about 6000 miles a year at a fuel cost of something like £1800!! or 30 pence a mile

That confirms what I thought.
The 1.8 is fun! if I was doing a lot less miles I would buy one.
No.
Actually I would get the V6
I prefer autos, though playing with a manual petrol every now and then is fun.My TD4 is currently working out at 20p/mile, and that should be better than that, so hopefully will get better. Though now my car will show more miles as the tyres are smaller....

Standard flat seat M12 x 1.5. Plenty on Ebay all the same. £29.99 for 20, free delivery. I bought a set of 16 and 4 locking nuts due to the amount of people who kept asking about the wheels. Cheapest locking nuts on Ebay are around £17.
