Scotland 2004 Defender 90 Td5 SW Yellow
New Blindos fitted
Got them on the motor this morning. I had left the bare rims with them to get the tyres fitted at their convenience so it was just a case of turn up and get them on. I really think they look fantastic, giving it a ‘sporty’ look, but not really what I was trying to achieve. Just Michelin Latitudes in 235 flavour - didn’t want anything too chunky as it spends 98% on road. Anyway, I’m delighted with them, honest opinions please - but even if you think they are horrid it won’t get the huge grin off my face. They make the rest of the motor look like it needs a summer makeover Rolling with laughter

I can't see anything horrid about that. The yellow and black scheme is working well, and the wheels don't actually attract much attention to themselves. Nice one. Donald

These are ET15. The tyre edge sits out about 30mm further than the 750 XYL on a standard ANR4636 which is ET33. I’m super happy with the look, I need to tidy up the rest of the motor to match now.

Hello RoddyK05

Yes they just looks right... Thumbs Up

Another purchase (I suspect)... especially with 'spoked' wheels
