I'm looking to buy five new/used OEM 17" rims - apart from the obvious Fleabay etc can anybody recommend anywhere to look ? - thanks in advance for any help. Cost of freight etc not a problem as these rims are as rare as hens teeth out here.
cheers

Used to be cheap as chips on fleabay back in the old country, sometimes for as little as £15!! I was getting unused rims & tryes for £50 and lightly used ones for £40 all in. Unfortunately they stopped using the 17"/Conti combo on the D4 so supplies dried up. Still pretty cheap over here if you can get a set that has worn out tyres, especially as winter is over & no-one will be looking for a second set for winter, picked up a set of 18"ers for a mate that cost him £100. You've then got to move them to the other side of the planet though.

Have a look for 17" BMW X5 rims locally. Normally dirt cheap as the chav's want 20" on their mall cruisers!! You just need to use RR classic wheel nuts.  Club N.E.R.D.s

I've got a set in my garage if you're passing 
I currently use them as 'road' tyres for my Disco 2 but I'm thinking of going to 20s for the LR3 and using the 19s on the Disco 2
