My landy is actually on order currently, and when she arrives will be shod with the standard michelin lattitude cross 7.50 R16's I think, so ideally I would like to swap the rubber over!

I would imagine they will be 235/85R16s if they are on boosts. 7.50R16 are too narrow for anything but standard steels and 'HD' wolf wheels.

ahh ok so not much point in worrying about keeping the rubber. So new tyres and wheels required.
Is there a difference in quality/do I need to worry about buying black sawtooths from the wide range of online sellers? |

Haven't heard anything bad about the pattern wheels.
The only thing I've heard is that the paint finish on the pattern wheels is very slightly "orange peeley" compared to genuine but hardly noticeable unless you are looking very closely |

I actually wonder if the OEM and the aftermarket are actually the same, i just dont want to buy them for a few hundred quid and find they fall apart or made of some lightweight alloy etc
thanks for comments |

Got my 110 with RRC wheels which arnt strong enough for 110s, Gave the Mrs a picture with 5 wheel choices ( stock LR ones) Was hooping it would be the 'Dual Finish' Alloy, Boosts. She saw the Black Sawtooths and said them ones, Needless to say I was both over the moon and crying, Over the moon as I like them crying cause I would only fit Gen LR wheels or Blindos lol.
Called up LR one Sat morning 30 mins later and over a grand lighter in the pocket burner department I left with 5 Black Sawtooths. I would only go for GEN Alloys or the likes of Blindos dont trust any adverts that say XXXXX Style wheels. As dont know which Indian sweat shop they were made in unlike the Italian LR ones. As for damage I have the stock tyre size which is 235/85/16 And belive me you have to be an idiot to damage them unless aired down and near rocks. I crapped my self. Got them fitted then went for a McDonalds Drive through. The 110 being new to me ( used to have a 90) forgot about the extra length and bounced along the kerp on a tight bend at the drive through. Got home and peeked through closed fingers No damage lol 
By the way EVERYONE loves them and wants them for their vehicles from VW Campers to high end Audis lol |

I got mine from 4x4 tyres. Look good quality and service was superb - well packaged and speedy delivery. The wheels come with 2 year paint warranty and lifetime warranty on the wheel itself. Centre caps inc.

Absolutely nothing wrong with pattern wheels whatsoever. Don't listen to the doom merchants - some of us don't have money to burn...
Over the years I've had numerous sets of pattern wheels on Fords and Audis and not 1 bit of bother have I had on any of them. Just saved myself ££££. |

Other way forward is to advertise on here, I got mine from a superb member for £800, including tyres and Sawtooth rims - all genuine. I took the view I'm keeping my 90 so just putting the genuine stuff on it, saying that I upgraded the radio to Sony
