Third party rims

[TheDocAUS]

I got a price on a spare INEOS 17 inch steel rim the other day, a mere AUD762, so those METHOD rims look tempting as a second spare at AUD540.

I rarely need a second spare.

Starting to get the impression that the price of spare parts etc on the Grenadier will put the luxury Euro builds to shame. Lots of ouch!!!

But the INEOS accessories were well priced when I ordered the car, cheap even. OEM spares always seem to be over priced.

Call a MB dealer and ask for a Sprinter wheel. Probably cheaper!

So they are compatible with the INEOS then?

AFAIK yes. Same thing.

6x130 used on sprinters, more commonly 16" but someone from Germany posted the code for the 17" steel Mercedes wheel a while ago.

I have got 5 Black Rhino Yellowstone wheels, and 5 X 295/70r17 Yokohama Geolandar tyres waiting for the Trialmaster to arrive.
The 5 x 17" steel rims with the BF / AT tyres still attached and less than 20km on the tyres as they will be changed on the way home from the dealership, will be on sale straight away for considerably less than $760 each with the 265/70r17 B/F tyres included.

My memory said Germany, but it was Ireland:

I have always run or mainly, 255/85R16 on my Defenders, wondering or hoping they may fit, fixes ground clearance issues and tall and skinnyish...

I have the 17" alloy arriving shortly. But for my separate set of winter tires/wheels, my dealer just quoted $400/steel wheel. Looking at some other manufacturer options that are much less expensive (in the +45 to +53 offset range whereas stock are +55). Also trying to stay at the 7.5" width, max 8".

Method 7xxs are $309 at full price! I got my 706s for $250 each.

What offset did you go with? +50? Something else?

Pretty sure they’re +50

They‘re Method 706s.

255/80/17, the 17" version of a 255/85/16, fits great

Oops wheel picture didn't post - trying again

Did you end up using the Method wheels? Any issues?

@coloradosnow mounted a set of 706s - also 50 offset - and apparently had issues.

I just couldn’t do it, considering they are a carbon copy of the vintage defender wheels.

Is that a rear spoiler? Not sure rear downforce is an issue that needed solving.
