    WHERE CAN I FIND 15" WHEELS ???????

    HOWDY ALL FELLOW ROVERS,

    I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR SOME 15" WHEELS FOR SOME TIME WITH NO LUCK, IT SEEMS EVERYBODY UPGRADED TO 16" SOME TIME AGO AND ALL THE 15"S SEEM TO HAVE GONE TO THE SCRAP YARD.

    ANYBODY HAVE ANY IDEAS WHO WOULD HAVE SOME?

    I WOULD IDEALLY LIKE TO FIND TWO, BUT EVEN JUST ONE WOULD DO!

    I HAVE A 71 TYPE 2A 88 SERIES THAT HAS THE OLD ORIGINAL 15"S ON IT AND NEED A COUPLE RIMS/WHEELS FOR THE SPARES

    APPRECIATE ANY AND ALL HELP!!!

            Original to what vehicle? 70/71 2A had a 15x6" wheel. I know of no series wheel that was 8" wide.

              15x8s were optional in NA. You could get 16x7s too. I have 4 stock original 15x8s in good condition. Can supply photos if required. Drop me a note at lemurstew@aol.com and I will provide you with info and price and pics. Im located in OR.

                15x8's are not OEM and are an aftermarket wheel that was sold by land rover off road suppliers to accomidate wider tyres , i havent seen them in over 20 years.....

                    These are interesting. What was the backspacing on them?
