Default Show us your aftermarket wheels

I've searched, and seen a few pics posted within other threads, but thought it might be nice to have one place where owners post pics of their aftermarket wheels - 'cause if you haven't done it already yourself, you are thinking about it....
Be sure to share the brand/model/size/offset of the wheels with the pics.

I’m usually a “get new aftermarket wheels ASAP” kinda guy, but I am totally in love with the 20s that came on mine. It’s the standard, no-cost wheel, too, which makes it even more amazing, as I would have sprung for any other wheel if I’d liked it better.

Only way I see myself getting another set is to keep these for the road and get a set of 18s and the rear brake conversion so I have more sidewall.

Love these things!

Default 20” Redbourne Alston’s

I’ve fitted these 20” Redbourne Alston’s ET 35, great stance, but I’m knocking them about too much off-road so replacing with Wolfrace. (Fortunately in the Atomotive Industry I can keep getting them repaired but even the smart repairer is getting fed-up of me) 🤯🤦‍♂️🤣

It's not mine but it looked really good with the satin wrap.

Unfortunately the tires are rubbing so it might not be an ideal selection.

@_Allegedly - Can't tell from the pics (even zoomed in), but do you know what the tire sizes were/are?

18" wheels https://www.tuffantusa.com/product-page/tuffant-alloys
The tires look like 33x12.50?18E 118S when I zoom in but that sounds a little wide for the wheel to me so I could be reading it a little off.

The rubbing looked minor but you could definitely not slide a piece of paper between the wheel and the plastic. Looks like it will clear up when tires wear a bit.

I'm probably in the minority but I have zero interest in aftermarket wheels and won't be thinking about it. The OEM wheels on our LR3 & LR4s have been amazing. Never bent or damaged in any way despite offroad use and hitting many nasty winter potholes. Plus I can air down to 20 psi on the beach and then drive home to air back up and the beads hold perfectly. Just ask any tire installer about the bead seals on OEM LR wheels. I'm glad others buy aftermarket wheels so I can buy an extra set of Defender OEM wheels off ebay for my winter tires.

@DallasBBQ - Any rubbing issues? I'd like to go BFGoodrich K02 275/55R20's on my stock rims with the 1.5" Johnson rods but worrying about rubbing. Likely go with 30mm spacers to help but would like to avoid if needed. Thanks for any insights.
