Too much choice in wheels to come up with one option - it's down to individual taste.

Personally I don't like the idea of 18" rims on Defenders Very Happy John

15" BIG boots is a nice combination in my opinion. Thumbs Up

Thought you were a 15" man too Karlos?

I think ZU's or Mach5 rims look best on a defender, they go with the vintage design
