19 inch rims from RSS and Range Rover for the Disco 3
I searched the forum and I got not any wiser. Which 19 inch rims from Range Rover and the Range Rover Sport fit the Disco 3. Any picutres would also help.
The seven spoke FFRR wheels are popular with D3 owners because they often come up on ebay with brand new tyres and occasionally sell for less than the cost of a new set of tyres. They usually have the same 255/55/R19 Pirelli Scorpion Zeros that come on the D3 HSE, so do have the appropriate load rating. (I learned the hard way what happens when you go off roading with RRS wheels with under-rated tryes ).
Best deals to be had in early March and September when the FFRR owners bling up their new purchases. I got a set of four for £515 about a month ago, which I think is a real bargain.

look in my gallery, I've got 19" RRS alloys on my D3. As has already been pointed out, loads come up on ebay, but if they are straight off an RRS, they have the wrong profile and weight rating tyres fitted (standard RRS uses 255/50x19 106v). I've took those straight off (and sold them), and fitted 255/55x 19 111v's, which are correct for the D3.
done over 20k miles on them now, no problems.

Thanks guys so far. Has anyone pics from a D3 with FFRR 7 spoke alloys as sugestest by bobbycrispbox.
However watch out for these pre 2006 19" wheels as they need new wheel nuts to fit & can look very similar on a quick browse through on ebay:

Super. Is there any chance to get only the alloys or are they comming always complete. Fright cost will be horrendus with tyers. Any more links are much welcome. What is the weight of a wheel inkl. tyers (In kilos if possibel)

I think that the standard 19" RR wheels are smart - I have them on my TD5 and would look to swap them onto a D3 - or buy some more - when I get one, didn't realise the rating difference but should have guessed with the D3 weighing similar to a small planet D4 HSE....Probably, but not quite decided yet.

The wheels (RRS 19") are OK for the D3 (though 1" wider than the D3 ones, al cope uses them without any problems), to be 100% OK you'd need to change the tyres due to lower weight rating (AFAIK).

@ DSL. That last set you found is great. What price do you think I should offer? They are 5 wheels.
Hope the disco 3 network can help out with transporting. He want' s only pick up.

I'd try at £220 expecting to pay £250 (I might be too gererous) but getting them down from Glasgow to Basel might be a problem, even for the D3 trading network.

Now I will see if I get them. Then I try to arrange for transport. In the meantime maybe has anyone creative ideas how the trading network can get it closest to Basel. Swiss Chocolats for any help will be included. Of course a fully catered stopover at my home is for anyone that will bring it to Switzerland. I also can bring it self over the Swissborder. So no one has to worry over the customs.
