    Alloy!!

    Not necessarily a good move, breaking the bead on the current Defender alloy wheels can be a real bugger in the bush.

    Performance Wheels in South Australia make the TX1 rim that has a 1400kg load rating and are available in 7" and 8" widths to suit the Land Rover stud pattern.

    These wheels are used on off road racers, so are bloody strong.

    Disco rims fit.

    Rovacraft have rims too.

    On my 110 I used disco 1 rims, which I modded to change the offset out by 20mm then I had them zinc + powder coated. I'm running 33's (255/85 BFG MT km/2) and standard height with no rubbing.

    Can post pics of you are interested.

    Brutus: 1969 109 ExMil 2a FFT (loved and lost)

    Got these on my Puma (8 inch) and very happy with them. Better turning circle and ability to use bigger rubber without suspention contact.
