Default Thoughts on wheels/rims for Carpathian Grey?

I'm in between the 20" split spoke and the 20" Satin Greys. I see more pics of the satin grey but leaning towards the contrast of the split spoke. No real exterior accessories so more of a city build with body colored roof. Also leaning Ebony headline with the Acorn / Lunar seats & trim. Hoping the Ebony matches the rest of the dark parts of the interior like the picture but not sure? Thanks!





Thanks!

I think you answered your own question - you are leaning toward the split spoke for a bit of contrast, which I agree.
Ask a dozen people, you will get 13 opinions, but the only opinion that matters is yours. Which wheels will make you look back as you walk away from your Defender?

You could always get the split spoke and powder coat them satin grey if you don't like the bright finish. LR even sells the split spoke powder coated so you could see what that would look like.

I would agree, a little contrast would be good. I have seen those rims up close on the lot before. They are striking. It's tough going back and forth I know what you're going through with the decisions but really it will look great no matter what. I really never see a defender I don't like at all, even a base build white one with no black pack or anything looks cool IMO.

I don't see those on the configurator? This pic makes me think the satin grey pops enough while keeping a classic look but tough call. Interesting these seem standard on the V-8.

They are on the Tire and Wheels accessories page. It doesn't look you can configure them as one of the normal choices for some reason.
