There may well be performance improvements, but these will be the result of one's wallet being substantially lighter than it was before, I think!
I love mine, I am not a big fan of most aftermarket wheels but Blindos just look so "right" somehow. It helps that they were OE on so many military specials too. I should perhaps have noted in my photo-post above that the tyres on mine are 255/85 BFG KM3s. |

The observant amongst you will notice that these are in fact not fitted to a defender.

[quote="L110CDL"
I will start of with these i just got fitted on Saturday, they are 16" x 7" ET 15 and i have 265/75/16 AT KO2s fitted [/quote] They look great So +15 ET offset. IIRC the Boost alloy is a +33 ET. Correct me if I am wrong but does that mean that there is more tyre/rim inside the wheel arch and does that not give you less steering lock?! I realise I may be confused here. I do like those rims though |
