I'll give this a bump. This is a beautiful truck. This heritage truck is what made me fall in love with LR's....

Those are 6.5 inch WOLFs but with an ET of 0, so spaced out.

I have a similar truck in Blue build from a 1992 200 Tdi 110, almost ready now, see pics below.

We added the galvy doorstrips from the 1986 modelyear doors to new TD5 doors, for a more classic touch.

I like those wheels too, RiverMike.

I think that what most people like about the 1 ton wheels is the deeper rim.
So that makes these wolfs look almost the same.
Will you market these wheels separately?

That is one sweet truck.

Of course after looking at the trucks rims it makes me wish that I would have pressed on and put my wolfs on the truck but was nervous because of not threading on the stud all as much as my standard steel rims. :( I was planning on selling my old rims this summer also. :(

New studs shouldn't be too hard to get a hold of. But I know someone that might be able to take the wolfs off your hands if you need :D

Thanks ! The WOLFs on this truck are special ones that have 1 inch more offset

Yeah I started looking and found the part# already. Going to start my shopping list and price shopping so I am ready for the fall/winter projects.

Everything is for sale for the right price but the spare looks good on the back.
