Thank you!

Its just an Eiger Grey HSE. The new colors don't start until 2021 model year.

I can't believe I bought a 2020 this late in the year...

Hi,

Did you buy it from Land Rover of Omaha? I know they ship cars all over the place.

Thanks Rob

Last question - what size lift did you put on your defender? 1", 1.5" or 2"

Looks great. Been trying to debate between redbourne hurcules and resbourne alstons. No rubbing whatsoever with a 12.50 tire?

Hi,

I wanted a wheel that looked like it should be on a Rover, and the Hercules looks very similar to an OEM wheel. That being said, finding any Redbourne that will fit, is a bit of a challenge. I was lucky to find a set of 5 available. With a 32mm offset, I felt it was better for a wider tire than the 25mm offset of other Redborne wheels.

To run a 33 x 12.5, you will have to run a lift larger than 1" Even then, you will get very mild rubbing on the inner wheel well. This can easily be resolved with a heat gun or Dremel tool and some trimming. I have not addressed mine with the heat gun, frankly I'm waiting until some warmer temps to fix it.

Rob
