my question is , why put disco wheels on a defender ? is it to mount bigger wider tyres ?

I think the main advantage is their strength, i think they are made of pretty thick steel!

They are also 7" wide rather than the standard defender items which are 5.5".
 
They are Tubless,
They are 7 inches wide, opposed to 5.5 or 6 6.5,
The offset isnt that much Good or Bad,
They are cheap,
Thay are steel and way better than alloys when offroading can be beaten back into shape if you need to be to keep you going,
