The same applies to alloys. I sold five 20inch alloys with barely used Michelin Latitudes off my Defender for £450.
Mind you, I bought five new Defender 20inch alloy wheels and new Goodyear AT tyres for £600 fitted so the cost to change wasn't that bad. I see hopeful prices on here for the same but they don't sell. Mind you, I'm now in the market for some 18inch wheels for some green laning and a trip to Morocco next year so will probably get the LR steels and have them painted.

I feel like I should be buying them up, as I’d only ever want a 90 commercial in basic ‘arles?’ blue, with a white roof and steelies..

Dealers aren’t keen to order Defenders with them either, when I was ordering this current 90 I could see the look of dread on his face when he asked what wheels, knowing that I like the steels

Is there evidence of the steel wheels being targeted for theft?

Well, unless thieves are stealing whole sets, no.
Nobody is buying them even at £400 for a set of five. So not likely to be the thieves' first choice ! |

It seems in Australia any 19" alloys going up for sale are taking a while to move, most people are happy
to buy one to add a 2nd spare to their collection rather than a set, all down to the restricted GY tyre choice. A few have moved to 18" alloys wheels with the rear caliper conversion on D300's/P400's.. or moved up to 20" to get more choice in terms of tougher off road AT tyres than the OEM goodyears irrespective of a lower profile to the 19" yet another pommie bar steward down under MY20 110 P400 SE Defender MY10 3.0 RR Sport |

The U.K. steel wheels are 18"
I don't think there's many tyre choices with 19" wheels so that will be why those aren't popular. |

Tyre choices were limited to the GY OEM wrangler or Duratracs, hence why it cost a few
of us a shed full of cash to move to 18” yet another pommie bar steward down under MY20 110 P400 SE Defender MY10 3.0 RR Sport |
