Get a contract with american racing and start stocking just plain steel wheels in a couple different sizes. 15" and 16" sizes with some backspacing. These rims are the normal for everything else on the face of the earth except rovers. Rover owners either have to retain their alloys or buy the ungodly heavy (and sometimes pricey) NATO rims.

Not only would this be glorious for the Land Rover Community, but you'd make a killing being the only supplier of regular american-style steel wheels for rovers. They are cheap, lightweight, and durable. This is about the only thing the rover marketplace doesn't have. I mean, carry straps, D-rings, etc but I think you'll do well with this.

I wouldn't attempt to import stuff from overseas. Too expensive. Get stuff made locally in the US. It'll be cheaper and better for the domestic market.

Maybe a set of soft off road springs for series rovers. Most series guys don't need expedition HD springs, but thats the only thing available.

Doesnt Gulf Coast Rovers already offer 15" and 16" wheels?

I agree with Jarell about the diecasts. Collectors will go crazy. I've got literally hundreds of die-cast Porsche models. And at least twenty of them in 1:18. Good Idea, man.
