Name this wheel?
Spotted it on a very fancy Landy on landytube (Instagram/TikTok)
Never seen it before so wondered where it was from.
Any ideas?

As a matter of principle (and in a futile gesture against the overwhelming influence of social media) I won't access either TikTok (I'm not under twelve and I don't want to give my personal information to the Chinese) or Instaspam, but I have some doubts as to whether that is a real wheel or if it is in fact some kind of vanity cover on a more conventional wheel.

There doesn't seem to be any way for the drive flange and hub centre to fit through the wheel. If you can find a picture of it mounted on an axle I'd be (very slightly) interested to see it.

To my eye it is an unusually unattractive wheel. I'd be inclined to name it "Morag".

Poor Morags…

I’m going to call it Kahn. I don’t know why.

Love it Blackwolf. Thumbs Up

Does that extend to YouTube too? As there are a lot of very good educational posts? Hidden among the rubbish…

Morag Kahn it is… I don’t particularly like them. Just never seen them on a defender before.

There are some - many - YouTubers who put up excellent, well-made, and fascinating content. Then there are far more who really should be required to do National Service or something instead. Very Happy

Your photo clearly shows that somehow they do fit on axles, so Morag Kahn must be quite chunky round the middle and have a reasonable offset.

Being, for a moment, serious, I have never seen those wheels before so Kahn't help you, I'm afraid.

The vehicle in your photo is excessively white, it makes me think of Essex in the 1980s for some reason. I note that is is a LHD vehicle, so perhaps it is foreign.

Oh dear! Why would you do that? Shocked

It is not as bad as most Kahn creations though.

I guess that answers the OP's wheel question though, since the logo on the wheels is that of the website.
