Did you run it on 19" wheels? You have any sort of sliders or skids?

Yes. 19” rims currently with Goodyear duratracs. Still searching compomotive rims and will work out tire selection when I go to 18s. No sliders, no skids (yet). Planning on going with Tactical Rovers for armor when the time comes. But honestly, smart tire placement and taking our time minimizes bottoming most of the time.

That's awesome. I didn't run Scholfield; just drove up to the edge of the tough part (to around here: https://goo.gl/maps/6JizUKCFA7y) from Crested Butte, then hiked down a bit more. Wasn't ready to take the trail on my 19" sidewalls, but looks like you made it fine.

Like those wheels. You got any pictures of how much you had to shave off of the brake calipers to get them to fit? How much are the wheels?

I’m off today so I have some time to type a little write up for you guys.

Here are full details in case anyone else wants more info on the wheels.

I hope this information can gain interest in them. My work gave me a good deal so I can be the guinea pig and find out what needs to be adjusted.

I love the look of these wheels with AT’s and I hope the Land Rover community likes them as well. Seems like most people go with Compomotive's 6 spoke wheel. I don't like the convex look of Compomotives and wanted a slight concave face and in a classics 5 spoke design.

The wheels are offered in
18" x 8.5" | 18" x 9.5" | 18" x 10.5"
for AT tires.

Also offered in 20” which would look cool with street / performance suv tires;
20" x 9" | 20" x 10" | 20" x 11" | 20" x 12"

I went with the 8.5" all around and Et +39.

Flow Form Technology. Not heat treated aluminum a.k.a. cast.

Bolt patterns are not drilled to begin with and come blank. They're drilled to order. LR3's/4's are 5 x 120.

You will have to use aftermarket lug nuts. Either conical or ball seated. You must request for what you want drilled. I found that conical seated lug nuts are more readily available. I went with Sick Speed extended lugs with black end caps.

Center bores are drilled to what ever center bore your car needs. So you don't have to use hub centric rings. Land Rovers are 72.6mm.

The same goes for the offsets. They get shaved down to what ever offset you want. The lowest is +15.

With the specs that I chose, I had to shave about 2mm's towards the back of the front calipers. Only where the little fins are. It was super easy and took a few minutes with a grinder and I sprayed high temp matte black caliper paint to protect the areas. I think if I would have asked for the wheels to be 10-15mm's more aggressive, they might have cleared without grinding. Because the inner side of the barrels on the wheels flare outward and I would have gained more clearance.

These are the first and only set made for a Land Rover so far. So there is room for improvement if you’re willing to poke the wheels out about a half an inch more than mine. That’s the cool thing about these wheels. You can order them how ever you want.

The wheels are $1470 a set, currently on sale and come with brushed aluminum centers & high polished lips out the box. Regular price $1960. For an extra $200 you can have them powder coated any color you want. I went with gloss black. I chose gloss so they don't look like every other matte black wheel that's off-the-shelf.

Currently the only dealer for these wheels in the Land Rover community is Abran & Aleth at Carrs 4x4. They can have them drop-shipped directly to you. West coast shipping $200, central $250 and east $300 for a set.

Carrs 4x4
5462 Oceanus Drive
Huntington Beach California 92649
1(714)330-0873

Since the wheels are customized, turn around time is about 3-4 weeks before shipping.

I hope everyone has a great day and if I can help anyone out with questions about the car, I'm more than happy to.

So finally got around to installing my RRS SC brake upgrade.
SS Braided Brake Hoses front and rear
EBC Sport Rotors front and rear
EBC 7000 Green Stuff Front Pads
EBC 6000 Green Stuff Rear Pads
09' RRS SC Brembo Calipers Front

While the initial assesment is very positive. I will have to wait a few 100 more miles to asses the true benifits.
However they look amazing!!!
