I know exactly your pain, I also have to contend with muddy Devon lanes on a daily basis! I have the VBS Nemesis wheels on mine and cleaning them is a doddle. They're gloss finish which makes it easy to start with and they are open spoked enough to get in to clean the inner rim

Another advantage of the VBS wheels is that they use standard wheel nuts. I think the twisted alloys have to have special nuts

2015 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 HT Corris Grey

They do need special nuts and from Wringtons a set of 20 is £190.00 including postage

( wont metion those nuts to SWMBO or she will have my nuts!!)
But the good news is have just sold the sawtooths

just need to sell the black wheel nuts and spacers currently fitted to offset the new wheels and nuts

Â£190????

twisted sell the coated black ones for circa Â£25.... or are we talking locking wheel nuts?

one other thing to remember about going to 18" is it makes the brakes look small and stupid imo... which leads to more money being spent on big brakes

How much did you get for a set of five Sawtooths and what did a set of 16" Bowlers cost?

Just thinking

Sawtooths sold without tyres for Â£750 for 5. Did I say I had brought the Bowlers......

Hi Clayton the Bowlers would have been my first choice if i didnt live in the country and only did 1000 miles a year but I dont as you know

with the miles I do on muddy westcounty roads and my OCD of keeping my defender clean meant that 16" Twisted in Satin black were my preferred choice this time, I liked the visual of the Sawtooths but hated cleaning them but only need to clean them once more once they are removed for the new buyer

I know what your saying Sulisuli and understand why

but the cleaning of them would not stop me putting the Bowlers on
