The 19’’ wheels are simply a disaster if you don’t like the tire options, which are limited to OEM at this point, and am seeking input on a wheel change.

I have a P300, which means that the LR OEM white steelies are an option. These are ~2K or so for a set of 5… which is expensive for steelies.

I also like a bunch of the black rhino alloy wheels (slicker look than steelies, less expensive). It’s a different look for sure -- black matte mostly (gunmetal not in stock), beefy. I’ve seen a ton of black rhino wheels on LR4s and LR3s, and they look good.

I have a pangea green 110 with white roof and wheel style 6009 (6 spoke, spark silver)... and the whole package looks great. I'm not sure black matte wheels will look right on this color combo.

Would you:

1. Sit tight and see what tires come available over the coming months?
   
2. Go white steelie
   
3. Go black rhino
   
4. Other recommendation?
   

 

I have a P300 hopefully arriving in a few months. Ordered Pangea Green with the white roof and steelies. In my opinion, is a great combo.

 

I. Er. Have a Pangea Green coming in a few months. P300, white roof, white steels. I love the look as well and also vote for it.

 

I have the 5 spoke stain grey alloys and don't like them in person. Something about the center section that bugs me. I was lucky enough to find a great deal on a set of white steelies with all hardware locally that someone removed. Be sure to factor in the wheel nuts and hub caps. The nuts are specific to the steel wheels and hold the hub cap in place. The nuts are something like $18USD each.

 

I think it makes sense to go with a different Defender OEM wheel, probably white steelies. Aside from the obvious fit issues (bore, offset, bolt pattern) LR OEM wheels are engineered to handle the weight of our vehicles. I've never bent a LR OEM wheel regardless of how big the pothole was. Plus they have a stronger bead seal that allows for airing-down. That's why tire places always complain that removing and mounting tires on LR wheels is a PITA.
