They just always seem to look odd (http://community.webshots.com/photo/139093170/1249740883047309372RdbgrM) on a Defender (well, to me they do anyway)

I'd be a bit woried if they don't fit Tony, check the studs have either a shallow slot or triangle stamped in the end, also the corners of the hub flange should be relieved to fit an alloy wheel. If your hubs were not meant for alloys then I'd suggest you stop using them before something comes adrift.

the reason being your 90 isnt designed to take alloy wheels as it will have the large drive flanges & drum rear brakes,the defenders (93/94on) have disc rear brakes & can take any of te disco/rangie/defender alloy wheels

Post by: tonycougar on March 15, 2006, 00:16:53: As it happens they tended to only get put on when she wanted me to tow her horse trailer.
I am selling that 90 now, just don`t know which wheels to sell it with, I was going to sell it with the alloys on cos thats how I bought it. (I want to keep my muds)
Now you say that not sure I should sell it with the alloys on.
