What wheels are these?

What type / make are these, I thought they were boosts, but they are not.

Need two more, so when I know what they are, any idea who stocks them?

The following is stamped on them: 7J x 16 x 33.0 AHZ

Sorry cant' attach picture, but it is in my album......(how do I get it across?)

Compared to "Boost" alloys but have also been around for 25 years too... its about time Land Rover did away with the current dated choice and came out of the dark ages? I have a set of SVX rims on mine and i think they are over £1000 for 5 (may be more??) off the parts shelf and sorry, they are not worth it. 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..

Hi, i seen these on Ebay and they are copies and they will come with all the problems fakes will have... balancing, flaking etc?
My friend bought a new Crew cab and was charged £1000 for an upgrade to SVX alloys from brand new delivery mileage Boosts and they kept his Boosts!!! 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..

They're £235 a piece from Land Rover. I can't imagine why anyone would want to pay that - get a set of modulars, enjoy the decent offset and buy something useful with the money you've saved. Peter

No thanks... modulars and steels look a bit cheap and nasty on a £30,000 vehicle. I tried Wolfs and the exposed hubs annoyed me. 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..

They'll fit but be careful - Disco wheels aren't rated to the same gross weight as the Defender. Even with no load, it is a risky choice. One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS

My 110 came new from the factory with these deep dish fitted. they were the standard fit before the later boost ones were fitted.

The freestyles were the only ones not rated for 110's, but they are on 90's.

Yeah, before Boosts, 90's had Freestyles, and 110's had deep dishes. I'm fairly sure that you could have deep dishes on 90's, but couldn't have freestyles on 110's. 110 Tdci Double Cab
