Cupboard, probably right as the snorkel is Mantec.
I wonder if the rims are manufactured by Twisted and how they hold up off-road, will contact them in the morning. Thanks. |

there made by silver line but twisted have exclusive rights...
they also don't have any stock till mid june I've had a second set on order for about 5 weeks now.. first set are 4 years old, no marks and done a bit of off roading probably 25k miles use bilthamber wheel cleaner and they still look new... (apart from the spare which land rover damaged when they replaced my rear door  ) |

Wheels may well be Twisted but they look a lot like Nemesis to me from Urban Automotive...if you can't get hold of the Twisted (if that's what they are) may be worth contacting Urban instead

the urban ones are a copy of the twisted... albeit manufactured by the same people i don't quite think the nemesis look as good.. quite a bit cheaper tho.

Agree with Likeomg - Twisted with the squarer spokes, better off set and deeper dish look far better, also I think the load rating is different and I prefer the satin finish compared to the metallic finish which look like they would show dirt more quickly.
Likeomg - not sure they are produced by the same people anyway are they? |

Silverline also make the Manta alloy which is another Twisted lookalike, but again not quite as nice.
Likeomg, I'd imagine when your new wheels turn up your old ones will just be in the way? I could take them off your hands if you like? You know just to make some space?  James

The Twisted and Manta wheels are both made by Arcasting in Italy (Highlander / Racer are their generic names I think), for Silverline, with Twisted having the rights to the deep dish ones since 2012. Just to confuse matters I think Twisted used to sell the Manta as well.
The VBS Nemesis are made by someone else (in China, apparently), though they look very similar. I prefer the deep dish Twisted over the Manta, but I can't help wonder why they cost 50% more. |

Happy New Year!
Does anyone know if Land Rover offers a swing away spare wheel carrier accessory similar to the one in the above 110?I assume from the responses that the one in the pic is a Mantec. If so, may I know its part number please? Thanks. Best, APK |

If I remember correctly the Landrover spare wheel carrier is just a Landrover branded Mantec carrier, so same as above but with a Landrover stamp on it. I'm sure duckworths on here was selling some off. Ray
