Default Are there 20" steel wheels?

I've gone with 20" wheels on my 110 SE.

18" steels were not an option for my build.

I was wondering if anyone had found a source for 20" steel wheels.

A second set of wheels to mount winter tires on would be useful. I could even look at getting them in white or making them white if that is possible.

I'm not interested in doing the 18" caliper swap. Curious if anyone has done this and if they could share where they sourced their 20" steels if indeed they can be had. It's a shame LR don't sell a 20" white steelie. Seems like the demand is there.

Thanks in advance.

I had two sets of Wheel Vintiques Smoothies, in 16 and 17, for my Wrangler. I just checked and their various styles of steel retro-look wheels only go up to 18". It's been a great wheel. Here's the 16" with 37" bias ply Intercos for off-roading. I have the same wheel in 17" for 35" street tires.

Yeah I figured they might. I'm looking for a low cost option though. At that price (without shipping factored in) it's about15 years worth of winter/summer tire swaps at Costco.

True. Which is why I just went for a set of takeoff 20’s on eBay for $1000. I like those steel wheels a lot, but not at that price. Of course anything is better than swapping tires on wheels as that’ll trash both wheels and tires after a couple of rounds.

It's more the convenience of having the second set of rims and doing it myself.

I don't know much of anything about wheel/tyre damage related to swapping. I'm sure you're not wrong but I've not experienced any problems.

So far I've not seen any. I'm sure I'd ***** it up pretty quick if I was doing it. Also the tyre folks throw in a sweet nitrogen fill and alignment.

Is there a link you could share to the rims you went with?

Just OEM Defender wheels on eBay. They pop up every so often.
