So maybe my search skills aren't serving me well, but I can't really seem to find any 17" wheel options for the classic Defender/Discover/RR?
16" tire options are dwindling, and it seems like 17" have become the defacto size for offroad rigs, which means many more tire options and tire size options, like Mickey Thompson's intriguing 255/85-17 Baja Boss AT - 34.6 x 10.5. This seems like an great size for a lifted Defender (Unfortunately they don't make this size in their Baja Boss MT at the moment though).
So are there any quality 17" alloy options out there? Any real drawback to going from the stock 16" wheel to a 17"? I really like my factory 16's, but the increased options for tires in 17" size is tempting me to consider a change if I can find a quality wheel I like..
Thoughts?
