Hello colleagues.
I've heard from Mach5 that they offer Mach5 wheels (e.g. 17x9) for D3 with custom ET's:
http://mach5wheels.co.uk/wheels/mach-5-road-wheel-5-stud
Has anybody fitted those Mach5 wheels on your LRD3.
I'd love to see some pics if possible.
Kind regards,
Artur

cuzzy had similar but am not sure if its the same wheel

it is most likely a ZU alloy. mach5 looks slightly different. e.g the nuts are sticking out.

Another 20" that fits
The RRS Red Edition 20" fits - go on, ask how I know
They'll be on after end Feb, once crappy weather out of the way.
My old stormers will be up for sale then - should be quite cheap.
Only problem is, when SWMBO saw these new ones, her response was " they look pretty" - not sure I want to fit them now

Re: Wheels that will fit a D3
NICE !!! Do these fit ? Be interest to know how you got on with them ? Did they change the feel of the ride ?
Which wheels are the favourite on D3 and are there any good pics on vehicle comparing wheels to be found anywhere on the forum ?
And the ones I'm waiting for:

Those in you pic are commonly known as V spokes, and yes, they fit fine. I had two sets of those on my old D3.
The wheels dont change the ride feel, its the tyres that do this.
I've tried:
275/45x20's - OK, but a bit harsh
295/45x20's - look great but being wider tend to tramline
265/50x20's - best compramise in grip and ride quality (and what I've used on the last 2 sets), and what will be on the latest Red alloys.

I see, thanks. So in theory you could fit any combination of tyre/wheel provided they stay within the space? EG I currently have 235/70/17 fitted, so I could put 18, 19, or 20" alloys on with more or less any width say between 235 and 295 and a depth from 70 down to say 45 depending on rim size ?
Is it fair to say the greater the depth the more comfortable the ride e.g. more comfortable on 60 than 45 ?
