Defender rims

[Bigdog]

Anyone fitted these rims on their series and any thoughts regarding them, thanks

No, horrible things. Nothing to do with Defenders either.

Think they are Weller rims and come with a set off G90 on them, if I decided to go with them I would paint them the military green

They are called "Modular wheels" for some reason.
They came about after the white 8-spoke craze in the 80's - 90's

The blue and red stripe was a genuine Weller Wheel thing but I think it got copied by a number of aftermarket manufacturers.
Nothing wrong with these wheels though, good and solid and they are tubeless so tyre choice will be far easier.

If your happy with a non original look, Discovery 1 steel rims are cheap second hand, strong and tubeless, often found for £5 each if you look around

My 109 has a set of them fitted, in black with the red stripe (now faded). They came as part of a tyre deal I bought back in 2006. As said, not original but they are round and they fit 😎

I thought the Discovery 1 steel rims were demanding quite high prices these days?

I recently obtained a set of 8 spokes that will be refurbished in white and I will paint the blue and red stripes back on. Intend to use them on my 86" station wagon for anytime I want to drive more than the around the local area. Think they will look pretty good on there, proper 1980's retro look.

I have seven Disco 1 wheels that I have offered for sale and no takers located Jarrow on Tyneside.
