    To answer my own post (!) I hear that the calipers need a little “shave” ..... which I can’t say I’d be that keen on.

    The attachment points of the spokes to the outer rim look very light-weight compared with the Compomotives, which might be OK for sand or smooth race-tracks but I wonder at their strength for outback track or off-road usage.

    I see the Boys at Lucky8 LLC in the US have fitted Compo 18’s to the new Defender.
