Interesting!
What's the width like if you don't mind me asking?
What's it load rated for/at?

I think they're called "Firestyle" aren't they? The fully rounded ones were freestyle.

I'll see if i can find a link somewhere that says it.

I can't see a reference to firestyle on the deep dish rim now but i could have sworn they were called that....

This was my first Defender which I sold many years ago. They had skinny 205 tyres on from memory, no idea about load rating but these type wheels were originally on classic Range Rovers so not particularly heavy duty. I swapped them for alloys quite quickly with 235 tyres as they looked tiny on a Defender!

Freestyle referred to the name of the accessory pack. The more rounded wheels in your link are Tornado alloys.

Firestyle was a Tornado aftermarket copy - but designed to fit onto earlier pre-Defender Ninety and OneTen hubs which were larger.

See rim marking:

They also came with an alloy centre cap:

Were these wheels not fitted on some very late Range Rover Classics? So that would be circa 95ish?


No, I don' think so.

This is what late RRC factory alloys looked like.
