Big picture wheel failure is very rare relative to tire blowouts and both can be catastrophic.
Right, but the question is if those wheels mentioned here from a couple of brands are engineered to at least OEM standards. Just the thought of driving on wheels with porous structures that could be brittle etc gives me some serious pause.

Forza offers lifetime warranty.

Which one of these two finishes do you like best? Matte grey with brushed face or gloss black with polished face?

I would email them directly. It's a very robust wheel design (i.e. limited voids, no thin spokes, etc.) so IMO it's a very low risk style. Ive been corresponding with Wheelshome on their 20x9.0 ET30 forged wheel. They state a weight of
15-16kg ea. which aligns with what one would expect for a true forged wheel. You can always go w/ an actual OEM if willing to pay the cost of entry - PowerfulUK has them listed for around $2400 ea.

Forza also has full Matte black available: https://forzaaa.com/collections/cars...ender-110-2028
They can also do full gloss back but I believe you'd need to wait for production which is typically quoted as 3-5 weeks plus shipping time (air or sea).

Could any wheel wizards here at this forum tell me if these specifications are correct for a 2026 Defender 110 V8? Thank you in advance!

  • Vehicle Model: 2026 Land Rover Defender 110 V8 (P525)
  • Brake System: OEM 6-piston Brembo Calipers (Xenon Blue / 380mm+ rotors)
  • Wheel Design: Octa Design Replica
  • Construction: Monoblock Forged 6061-T6 Aluminum
  • Wheel Size: 20 x 9.0J
  • Bolt Pattern (PCD): 5 x 120 mm
  • Center Bore (CB): 72.6 mm (Hub-Centric)
  • Offset (ET): +35 mm (This provides a slightly more aggressive "flush" fitment than the OEM +41.5mm)
  • Required Load Rating: 1,000 kg per wheel (Critical for V8 GVWR and towing capacity)
  • Hardware Compatibility: Must be compatible with OEM Land Rover M14x1.5 lug nuts and OE TPMS sensors.

Depends on what you mean by "correct".

They should fit without issue, but they are not the same exact dimensions as the OEM wheel.
The OEM 5 spoke on the V8 is 20 X 8.5 with ET41.5 which means the spec you posted would stick out a little farther.
To get an Octa replica with the same exact spec as OEM, both Forza and Jova can accommodate if you're willing to wait.

Makes sense, at +35 they will look beefier but I wonder if it would alter the geometry in a bad way. Also idk if they offer that 1,000Kg load rating. The Defender is one heavy SUV. Towing also needs to be considered when thinking about load rating. Thank you for the reply above 👍🏻

Just wanted to let you know that I got Land Rover Defender OEM OCTA wheels and they do not fit standard land rover defender that came with 22 inch wheels. The front caliper is pushing them out. The rear one fits just fine. Not sure if there is a way to remediate it or I just have to get aftermarket OCTA wheels.

Would you be wanting to sell the OEM OCTA wheels ?
