Boost Alloys
Do anybody know when they first came into production and available on defenders?

Initially 1998 in satin-finish on the export V8 50th. They replaced the Freestyles. If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Were freestyle/tornado alloys factory standard on 300tdi county defenders?

I'm trying to find the age appropriate alloy for a 1998 300tdi CSW

Yes, latter 300TDi County's were fitted with Freestyle alloys - a nod to the NAS 90's of the same period.

Captain Slow - think your pic shows Deep Dish alloys, suitably different to Boosts...
