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

    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!

      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.

    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 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.

    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.

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

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

    Now the wheels are spot on, are you not now just worried about scuffing them?

      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

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

    • @BorisTheDefender
      @BorisTheDefender  3 месяца назад

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

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

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

      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
