United Kingdom 2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 DCPU Stornoway Grey
Available for next day delivery from Silverline, and substantially cheaper than any genuine LR alloy wheel from a main dealer.

Buy a set of 5 any there's no delivery charge.

A very good firm the deal with. Thumbs Up

In that case I can get genuine Sawtooth wheels cheaper - £899 inc vat and delivery for 5.

Yes, you can, but why would you want to? They're hideous while Blindos are gorgeous and only £49 more (£948 total delivered inc VAT) Rolling with laughter

I was responding to your statement:

"and substantially cheaper than any genuine LR alloy wheel from a main dealer"

As for my reason, I'd prefer to fit OEM wheels. The Blindo option looks ok but I'm not blown away with them. Maybe if I saw them in the flesh I'd think differently.

When I recently checked the price of standard Boosts from a main dealer they were approx £260 each (which made me feel much happier about the price of the Blindos). I am sure that they can be bought for less elsewhere though.

I acknowledge of course that aesthetics are highly personal and there are many who love Sawtooths and don't like Blindos, or whatever else floats their boat, and no offence was intended by my comment about Sawtooths above!

No offence taken Mr. Green

Wheel choice for me at least is a nightmare - I have no clue what looks the best. Was going to go with the Sawtooth option because I'd seen a vehicle in the flesh with them and quite liked the look - I think they'd suit my black Defender. Negatively there are lots of copies around.

I think what I'd prefer are a set of SVX (dual finish) in black. You've got me looking at Blindo's now too!

Blindo's.....subtle!!
Though I would love a set of one ton rims....though they don't work on a metallic painted car, in my opinion.

Good luck on finding some Chris..I had mine from Derrick at LRS.
