I have BF Goodridge on my standard pilux rims, but 40000km is going to pull them up. Had them on my landcruiser ute and they did 80000km.

I had looked at buying secondhand 17" Prado rims and painting them black but secondhand ones are unrealisticly expensive, cheaper to buy Speedy copies. They also come in almost black, just need a little strip of matt black to cover the stupid looking silver lip. These are the front runners in choice at the moment, fairly cheap too at about $175 each for 17x7.5". They are called Grande, down the bottom of this page.

Prefence is probably for straight black sunraysias with no pinstripe in 17x8 or 17x7.5 but I need them to be 30P offset. These guys have them I think:

Most blokes I have spoken to with Geolander tyres get in excess of 100,000kM out of them.
