I think some black wheels are cheesy but it goes w/ the look on my 90 I think. It's also good in plasti that I can just peel it off if I don't like it in a few weeks which is also possible.

But yes, if everyone had the same cars then they wouldn't be unique...

defenders are {insert-colour-here} AND Black. Black cross member, bumpers, door handles, window seals, door mirrors, vents - etc etc. Black wheels suit a defender better than silver/chrome/bling alloys IMO.



When it comes to wheel colour, I wouldnt say black is the FAD.

@billnus looks good.

I am a big fan of black wheels.

When I finally collect my 110 wagon next year (in Keswick green) I am swapping out the alloys for black steel wheels

After 10 months across 25 countries my 90 and trailer are finally in Melbourne. Should be picking it up from the docks in the next few days.

Very, very impressive! Now that's a well travelled Defender!

Looks like some of those countries are so poor they can't afford colour
i like Mongolian sign with 1 route straight ahead and 3 or 4 tracks straight ahead - bit of a lottery? That's a trip I'd love to do

That sign was the 1st one we had seen a week! The others where all small single place name signs. Its not a lottery when you run a GPS and good mapping

Discovery 1s used to come out as an ES7 upspec version with charcoal wheels from the factory, and Classic Rangies had dark grey alloys too, so LR have been doing this for a long time. Not really a fad.

I've just sprayed my 110's rims charcoal grey. Looked a bit funny to me for the first week or two, but they have grown on me now and I quite like them.
