Does anybody know if there are 17" steel wheels available to suit Defenders?

Never heard of any - the vast majority of wheels to fit them are 16", a few 15", as there is the best choice of suitable tyres in these sizes. Just wondering why you would want 17"? I don't think Discovery/RR went to that size until after they adopted a different wheel stud pattern.

Hi John,

Thanks for that.

It would be a forced decision for a specific tyre which is only available in a 17" rim size in the particular size I was looking at.

Ive got sets of 15" and 16" already so it would make sense to work with those.

hey pete, mate if you want some bling have a look at the HD17's by trail ready in the states, delivered to you door around $450ish very nice beadlock alloy. i'm thinking of going the same way as you soon and am considering them or just get 16' s and save some $$, treps all the way!!
