I believe so. Only seen them in person once. I know there is some pretty severe hatred for 3 spoke wheels... but inlove the way they look on a Discovery.

No they are not! These are the wheels included with the Westminster Edition. The wheels in that pic of the Disco in the snow are some other unknown wheel. Very simular but the spoke edges are rounded whereas the spokes on the Westminster Edition are more flat.

I dont mind the look but it dont look good on a D2. Saab made a set of wheels that were 3 spoke and very similar to these so I wonder if LR was inspired by Saab lol

At least the three spoke wheels stand out from the crowd. By the way, did anybody else notice that the manufacturer describes the detail on the spokes of the Polar rims as "lozenge shaped?" Didn't remember learning that shape in elementary school. I guess the word oval just won't work for LR marketing.

I know on the D1 there are some wheels that are called Tornado, but a lot of people call them Freestyle because there was a options pack with that name that included those wheels.
I always thought the wheel was called the Freestyle on the DI whereas on the Defender it was called the Tornado. I could be wrong.
