Street Wheel/tire options for Disco I owners

[FunkyFresh]

Hello, I wanted to eventually put some rims on my disco 1 but I've been looking online and no one makes a cool rim for that bolt pattern. I guess I need some adapters to fit more common wheels on there or possibly get rims custom made ($$$?)... This is dumb but I was wondering if I laced up the stock 16" rims I have with some low profile pirellis or something. It would be useless as an offroad truck but I thought it might look sweet and help the car go faster.

There are several okay 4 or 5 types of rims available for the D1, most are just steel wheels or the RRC rims, but there is one aftermaket alloy that I know of, but it is not cheap.... around $400 or so per rim.

You could try what I did. I got a set of 8x15" rims, machined 16" RR centres to 15 inches, then welded into the 15" rims to my desired offset, powder coated, then fitted with 275x70 BFG All/Terrains.
