What alloys are these?
Hi guys. What alloys are these? I've had them on since I bought them but I always thought they were freestyles but after a Google search it appears not 🤔

Deep Dish as Grafty says, however, I believe they are Discovey 1 XS rather than Defender?

Compomotive did an exact copy of these Deep Dishes, indistinguishable unless you look on the rear for either Land Rover or Compomotive branding.

Random fact - these were originally fitted to discovery XS but were also the first alloys rated for 110s and supplied with late 97/98 110 csw.

Spot on Thumbs Up

The other thing to note is that they are (unlike the Freestyle Choice/Tornado alloys) rated for the rear axle weight of a 110. ---

Greetings from sunny Sri Lanka! Smile

Just to confirm was 1997/98 the first model year cycle that the "Deep Dish" alloys were first introduced?

I'm trying to upgrade the rims on a 1994 CSW but the aim is to keep it as close to stock as possible so I've Googled endlessly trying to find information to confirm is alloy wheels were ever offered as an option on the 1994 Defenders?

Currently on stock 5.5"s looking to move to Wolf XD / 130 6.5"s if the Deep Dish Silver Sparkles aren't a period specific factory option

Were these wheels not fitted on some very late Range Rover Classics? So that would be circa 95ish?

Though quite sure for Defender/Discovery 97/98 was when they were introduced. Only ever seen late 300tdis on these and early td5 110s...

As mentioned they are Deep Dish Alloys as fitted to Defender 110 as alternative to the Freestyle alloys fitted to 90s due to the load rating. Had several Discovery’s with the same wheels whilst ironically were a option above the Freestyle. Formerly mao99999

No, I don' think so.

This is what late RRC factory alloys looked like.

I am sure I have seen deep dish alloys on late classics, however could have been retrofitted Thumbs Up

So since we've ruled out that the Deep Dish alloys only showed up toward the end of the 90's would anyone know if there were any other wheel options (bar the Wolf/130 HD) available from the factory on the '94 County Station Wagons per chance?
