1988 Defender 90
Can anyone please tell me what would have been the stock wheels/tires on a 1988 Defender 90?

Sorry, I'm new to the world of Defenders and I'm looking to transition my new acquisition towards the classic/stock look!

Rostyles were the fancier steel rims as worn on RRC and introduced to the 90, Freestyles were one of the very first alloys that LR pit on the 90 and were five spokes. Both excellent looking classic wheels as far a I'm concerned.

All, thank you for the responses.

Does anyone know if any manufacturers sell similar wheels? Or where could I find some?

Didn't think 90s of that era could be spec'd with Freestyles, thought they were a later introduction - mid 1990s? Rostyles look great on 90s - I had a set on my '89 turbo diesel Thumbs Up

Freestyles can be found on fleabay readily & usually pretty cheap but often in need of refurbishment - most will be Disco ones though so different offset I think? Currently got 2 sets for my 90 - one with Grabber AT2s for summer use & one with Michelin XZLs for winter use. Could be selling a set shortly as I am looking for a set of Boosts in readiness for a change from 90SW to 110 DCPU this year.

Any recommendations for best place to purchase wheels/tyres?
I've been looking on johncraddockltd.co.uk, has anyone had good luck with them?
