I think it looks quite cool.

Enjoy it, each to their own.

Not maybe something you'd want to off road with but thats the beauty of defenders, you mod them to how YOU want them.

I like 'the look' too! (Love the colour!) With regards to the comment about modifying....be it just a small OEM extra such as the addition of rubber mats or a wheel cover, or larger ones such as bigger wheels, roofracks, chequer-plate etc. etc. either through necessity, functionality or just plain looks I think everyone does a little modifying to how 'WE' want them!

If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!

I can think of a lot of vehicles that are much better on road than using a 90, if i never had the need to go offroad a 90 would be the last choice for a road car.

haha its now more sturdy than when it had the 2inch anti handling kit on it

That is prob more to do with removal of the lift kit and fitting decent suspension than the pram wheels.

I like black as a wheel colour though - just not keen on the size. John

It's certainly...ehem... unusual

Tell someone you love them today because life is short.

As previously reported i don't beat about the bush (unless pheasant shooting) so my opinon on those silly wheels is... they will invalidate your insurance, ruin the handling, probably make the speedo illegaly inaccurate, over stress the hub bearings, make entry a nightmare... it will drive like a duvet with a spacehopper on each corner and by the look of it get you called a CHAV?
I would love to see you driving it back after fitting the 16" spare on!! 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..

2015 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 HT Montalcino Red

I looked at getting big alloys for a set of road tyres but in the end wnt with a good old set of 16s soon to be ready to fit ! After seeing your truck I'm glad I did ? Each to there own
Also I don't have any trouble running 15s with 35inch tyres so I don't see there to be any problems with bearings and hubs
nice truck though Chris just think I'd of gone with 18s perhaps

I feel sick

I think everyone is entitled to their own fantasies (except some involving children), whether publicly acceptable or not. However, going public (e.g. on a forum) with the latter is unlikely to end well and you have to face the music, or rather the rants from other members baying for blood...
