18" question was split out to its own thread, moved your reply and it's gone

It took me a while to find the photos then when I posted it had all changed.

Worth noting 18" tyres are significantly more expensive than 16"

But I quite like them. James

Thanks Martin

Thanks JOW! I didn't click that was the wheel they were using - looks great in body colour! I was going black 16' steels on my Oslo Blue Td5 but I wonder whether 18's would look even better?? Opinions Please?

2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 DCPU Corris Grey

Don't like the first photo with the double depth, but like the yellow version's size/depth (albeit not colour). Been considering this with Hakkerplitaraspalakktaraettas as my winter set-up instead of Bowlers/BFGs

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....

Are the 18' wheels in the photographs the same ET? The green look more like ET0, the yellow something else.

Jellybean! I saw you on the A14 at Ipswich around lunchtime today! I waved but I was in my car going the other way!

I agree, the off-set look different in the photos, green ET0 Sandglow more like ET10-20? James

16" has more flex due to the higher sidewalls and thus more grip offroad.
Very noticeable apparently.

I believe the green urban truck is wearing 17” steels rather than 18”, assuming it’s the same Defender I saw at the London Classic Car show earlier this year.
