I know everybody in here wants to go to 18" wheels, please humor my madness.
I have been planning to grab some 18" White Defender Takeoffs and throwing some KO2s on there and being totally off road ready.
I'm now trying to think a little more practically and am sort of coming around to 19s with those new Toyo ATIIIs.
This is primarily a family hauler which will see a few mild to moderate off road trips a year, certainly no rock crawling, most likely a fair amount of sand. I don't know if the initial cost + reduced fuel economy is really worth it at this point in time. With those steelies and this KO2s We are probably looking at something like an additional 30lbs per corner + the spare, I can't imagine that doesn't drain the tank a bit faster.
Anyway, my rig came with 20s so I have to do something. I'll admit to not having a great eye for wheels, so some aesthetic help would be very welcome. I'm running a 2016 in Aruba Gold. OEM Rover only, is pretty much my only hard stop. I would lean towards a more rugged look in lieu of fancy. Chrome or black, I'm not sure I have a preference. Despite my previously noted concerns with MPG, I'll likely get a Baja, Gobi or similar rack at some point so we have a place to put luggage when we are running at 2.5 rows and a dog. So something that ties to that level of build. I wonder about the 19" Defender Alloys but I'm not even sure what will fit if it didn't come off an LR3/4.
Any suggestions?
