its the tyres wot matter - the wheels are just a means of mounting the tyres to the drive shafts. get the wheels yu like the look of.

The wheels you have are fine, just get some all terrains for on and off road use, or some mud terrains if spend most of your time off road

On the subject of TYRES...I've got a 1998 defender 90 with "BF Goodrich all terrain T/A LT235/85R16 120/116S" tyres on some nice looking alloys and very rarely go off road so I was wondering what is the best tyre pressure to run them on to get the best wear ???

the pressure stated as recommended in the owners manual anything else you are breaking the law and will get points and insurance will be nil and void if you are found to be driving an unsafe vehicle

Sorry it's been a while for a reply ,,,But does this mean even if I've changed from the original tyres to a/t's and alloys the tyre pressure should still be the same as per the owners manual ???
