Given the weight of the D3, I'd be careful to buy wheels which are strong enough. I like the D3 HSE 19" 6 spoke wheels. They appear regularly here and on eBay. I bought a set from a forum member a couple of years ago.

Gotta agree, FFRR wheels look good, cheaper on eBay than HSE 19's too.

Thanks, they look really nice! I will check these out. Thumbs Up
Also, are the lamp guards easy to fit, or should i get the garage to do it? Its goes for its first service next month, so wasnt sure if i just get them to do it.

Lamp guards need 2 screws and a couple of clips, takes 5 mins per side, really easy job. No drilling etc.

The rear guards are a tad more difficult in that you need to drill a hole each side to fit the mounting brackets, fit a rivnut and then attach the guards. Most of us don't have a rivnut gun in our ensemble. When I did it, I pop riveted the bracket on with an ordinary pop rivet ( the LR type for the Series LR rear panels - they have a big head). If you need to take the guard mount bracket off, simply drill out the rivet.

Even self-tapping screws would be OK for the rear brackets.

Brilliant! Thumbs Up no point handing out money to Land Rover when it can be done at home.
