NEW WHEELS ON THE DEFENDER!! HAVE I MADE A MISTAKE?

I have been wanting to grab a set of these wheels for years. Today is the day they finally get the works and get installed on Boris.

I love the way “North Devon Tyres” spin the tyre on the new powder coat while the wheel is on the tyre machine.

[@DaleReubin]

Great work mate! The finish on that powder coat looks great 🤩 I’m not sure I could personally do the mismatched set. My eye would be twitching at 2am while I lie awake thinking about it. Great video though!

[@BorisTheDefender]

Haha thank you! Thankfully I’m not that much of a perfectionist so can let things pass like that. Annoyed me at first but they are near identical.

[@raycrocker2844]

Like your new wheels they really transform your truck, nearly went to sleep in the back of it when I saw it at the Yealmpton show a few days ago😂😂. You seem to have the same luck as me when you try to get anything done, sorry too busy come back in 3 years, anyway they look brilliant.

[@BorisTheDefender]

Thank you so much! Yeah I love them. It does have that effect doesn’t it. Makes me tired!

[@raycrocker2844]

@@BorisTheDefender haha I know it must be a landrover thing, I have an old 1996 landrover discovery1 which was, believed it or not imported into the Uk from Japan so nobody recognises the reg number or vin number when I want parts but thankfully they’re all the same so Dave at Brookwells Bovey sorts me out, I use it everyday, I’m retired but use it for pulling a trailer getting logs out of the woods etc it’s a 3.9 v8 petrol. May see you at a show somewhere.Ray.

[@edhorrocks]

They look awesome!

[@BorisTheDefender]

Thank you buddy!

[@ScoutTheDefender]

They look so good man! Well worth the wait

[@BorisTheDefender]

Thanks so much buddy! Exmoor billet film next. Yours look so good in the silver!

[@davidmiles4214]

Congratulations look fab. Now thinking about White on my Grenadier...

[@BorisTheDefender]

Yeah good idea! What colour is your truck? :)

[@thesteakdetective]

They look splendid Jack Old Chap!

[@BorisTheDefender]

Thank you very much indeed good sir!

[@fastdar]

Those are Dope Jack... They would look good on my Van. I'm always looking for a set of OZ Rally for my Delica

[@BorisTheDefender]

Thanks so much mate! Yeah they would look rad on that. Love a white rally wheel in the right place.

[@kirkserumgard]

Why did you go with the blindo wheels versus the EVO corse wheels? Price, weight, offset?

[@andyperry2973]

Look great. What size are the tyres?

[@BorisTheDefender]

They are 265/75/16 👍

[@SiCrewe]

Have you noticed any difference in the handling after fitting the new wheels? I fitted 30mm spacers to the factory wheels on my Disco' 2 to accommodate slightly larger tyres without rubbing and I was quite surprised at how much more "floaty" the Disco' feels to drive. It's not dangerous or unpredictable but it's definitely... different. Fitting wheels with a smaller offset should have the opposite effect and sharpen up the handling considerably... relatively speaking, bearing in mind it's a Landie, of course.

[@BorisTheDefender]

I haven’t noticed anything yet actually. I will have to see with more driving. I suspect you might be right!

[@mrbeeoutdoors3213]

Looks great! Thanks for sharing!! What bottlejack do you have? Now the wheels are spot on, are you not now just worried about scuffing them?

[@BorisTheDefender]

Hey, thanks so much! It’s a disco 2 Jack. Came with them new. Available on eBay. I’m not too precious about it really, thankfully they won’t rust. Haha

[@Defender5.9]

Love them wheels done in white also what rear door glass do you have fitted

[@BorisTheDefender]

Thank you so much. Explore glazing make openable windows

[@Defender5.9]

@@BorisTheDefenderthank you I’ll have a look now

[@3TZZZ]

Fancy! …are they lighter? Though I reckon you can’t go past classic Wolf Rims (black/white/any colour) on a Defender.

[@BorisTheDefender]

I haven’t felt anything different on them yet. I believe they are lighter though.

[@marchalliwell1963]

You don't mention balancing,& there are no sign's of stick on weights in the video,are you using balance beads?

[@groeacht8525]

Those run flat rings look interesting, is there a manufacturer stamp or part number?

[@BorisTheDefender]

They are called dynamic run flat inserts. Cool bits of kit.

[@groeacht8525]

@@BorisTheDefender would be handy having one of them in the spare, although that's not really an issue now it's got a tyre on it from this century that actually holds air

[@AntonioCarlos-jp6lf]

Hi Boris! i am from Brasil. Could please what is the calibrated preassure psi in the weel?

[@BorisTheDefender]

I change the amount I use for different places. 48psi for big loads on the motorway and 26 off-road.

[@AntonioCarlos-jp6lf]

Thanks a lot!

[@TOYOTA.Overland]

Sorry for stupid question, but there is not much information. Why dont you have anymore 255/85/16? 🤔 I thought I'd copy you and see you left them.🙉

[@mattluszczak8095]

I dont get it why bfg dont paint their sidewall writting in white anymore in mt version of tyres

[@BorisTheDefender]

Yeah that’s a shame

[@spookythecat3055]

So why are you back on ko2 instead of KM2 ?

[@groeacht8525]

Aren't the mud terrain horrendously noisy on tarmac?

[@BorisTheDefender]

I used to have 255/85/16 KM3s they were great. They were 33” and a bit tall for my transfer box ratio. I decided to go for a smaller all round tire as I do a lot of motorway miles. I’ve done 20,000miles on this set of KO2’s and they still look new
