Camel Steel Wheels for D2
#31
Another option would be to buy wider tires. D2 alloys are 8" wide IIRC and you're running 235/85/16's which are fairly narrow. Moving up to a 265/75/16 or 285/75/16 would let your sidewalls stick out past your wheels and take the brunt of the rock rash. But then again you may just end up blowing out sidewalls left and right.
And one last thing to consider. The D1 and D2 alloy wheels hold a bead really well. Steel wheels often won't hold a bead as well as the stock alloy. So if you like driving on the sides of your wheels you may find yourself losing beads with the steel wheels.

Old Florida Road must be a heck of a place to wheel! Those TFs are definitely aluminum, but I've heard pretty good things about the quality. There are some decent choices for aftermarket wheels. Check out one of the best LR parts place (and no, I don't get discounts to say that, they just are pretty awesome)
It was! Watch out for the curbs...

The wheels you mention were never used on defenders. You are thinking of wolfs, which look like these but have the opening for the drive member.
