1989 Defender 110 V8 Petrol CSW Bonatti Grey

Old School Rims

After 5 years of running steelies, I gave in to temptation on the Bay and got some (almost) period correct Deep Dish alloys. Suitably Old School I think for my '89 truck, running 265/75 BFG MT KMs on 30mm spacers.

Best alloys for a 110....

Way better and much more select than those common Boost things

They look good on your beastie, very smart

Just one point, I know I am now somewhat older than I used to be but surely "Old School" would actually refer to Steel Rims ?

Or am I missing somthing? (not hard when you are looking at 48 in a few days

) He who dies with the most toys wins

Ha ha, good point!

"Old school" in as much as that they were (I think) the first style of alloys offered on 110s way back in the Tdi era mid '90s before Boosts came along, so I think of them as nicely retro compared to the Sawtooths and SVX rims on all these young whippersnapper Pumas 😊 Fully Restored 89 110 CSW V8

Indeed they do, but they are not weight rated for the 110 sadly Fully Restored 89 110 CSW V8
