Yes thanks it had a re-spray just before I bought it
 and about the tyres I really don't know yet, sometimes I see it on certain trucks and pick ups and I think, yeah looks good but other times I think it looks a bit American if you know what I mean which isn't a good thing for a British icon.
What do you think? |

I'm an 'inney'. I think they're a bit 'one life live it' out...

I have a set of those on my TD5 130 and I've been very pleased with them.
One tip though, the centre hole is very tight, you will have to line the bolt 'flats' up on the half shaft end cap to get the wheels on, no biggy once you know Welcome to the forum by the way, lovely looking truck |

Real nice looking landy !
I soon fitted larger bfg all terrains when I got mine made it drive a bit better.when I had them fitted wanted white on the outside but they didn't have any with white writing on, glad they didn't now much prefer it without |

Yeah the guy who I bought it off had road tyres on it a mixed bag of makes but all 205/80/r16 size (what you see in the pic) looking to get the BFG All terrains in 235/70/r16 if I go much bigger ill not only be paying more for them but I'd have to get the rims sooner rather than later to be able to fit the larger tyres on.
