White zu alloys
Just a quick one, does anybody have a picture of white zu alloys on the defender. I am about to purchase a set from j craddock and wanted to see what they look like on a defender. Not just a picture of a wheel in the adverts, I am convinced that white is the way to go because of the white roof and the steels I have on there are white. Black won't look right with white roof.
What are your thoughts please ? Very Happy

Thanks guys just purchased white zu alloys , also purchased a new set of cooper pro mud tyres 235 x 85x 16. New design just out from cooper
They have a really aggressive mud pattern but also good on the road, they claim to be better than cooper mud terrain so time will tell .
I shall upload a couple of pictures tomorrow night when fitted. Very Happy

Here's a pic I retouched to see what they would look like on mine, not the best retouching I've done but they will give you the idea but it sounds like I might be a bit late now as they're probably on their way to you!

Finally got someone to fit them with the new cooper P.O.R muds .
Very slight distant hum at 30mph but nothing noticeable past 35mph very pleased with the overall choice .
235x85x16 cost was £86 each inc vat and delivery
Zu 16x7 £619.delivered

Not a replacement but one to compete with bf muds. Only much quieter than the others .
235 85 16 only available at the moment but 265 75 16 due in the UK in April.

They are 35's. It drove like a pig above 60mph, not recommended unless you are using it heavily off road, which is what I did with that.
When all the green closures started, I decided to move it on.

Green and white is a good combo, obviously picking out the roof, I like yours and it's good to see something other than black Thumbs Up
