Part of me can see why you were tempted
However, the majority agrees with you that the Wolfs look more fitting  especially on a DCPU.
All the best with your decision. 1995 300 Tdi Epsom Green - It's a keeper. Wide Track Sankey- In bits- Gone to a new home M0XQS |

As you say on a polished defender, but really how long is it going to before you take a chunk out of them? Russell

Yeah they would look good on a twisted style 90, the DCPU isnt quite right for them 1993 200 Tdi 90 CSW

I tell you what surprised me with these 20s, I wasnt expecting the ride to be noticeably softer than with my 16" MTRs.
I'm wondering whether I'm running the pressures too high on the MTRs, or whether they have very stiff side walls? |

Most good MTR have stiff side walls for when you run low psi 1993 200 Tdi 90 CSW

Argh, my eyes, my eyes
Stick to the Wolfs. Wait, what am I saying? They're really cool and the Wolfs look rubbish! I'll help you out by taking those scruffy old steels off your hands really cheaply  Darren

Yes, correct BFG especially have multiple ply reinforced sidewalls with steel banding so are very very strong and stiff. Other brands would also be similar. I don't think that is a bad thing if you go off of tarmac! If you never do then it's immaterial. No Guts, No Glory. 🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🇮🇪🇺🇸⛽️🛢️⚙️🧰💪 |

I'm not a fan of 20s on the Defender, 18 max.
To be honest I prefer your original rims |

Proves why LR never sold wheels above 16" for Defenders.

i do love a big wheel, but in this instance, stick with the HD's,
Our keeper which is mothballed in storage has a set of HD's and i really like the look. I'd also love some hutchinsons in the future hmm |
