These new wheels, available in the County package, mimic the style of the steel wheels that fans love, while also being lighter, weighing about 3.6 kg less than the steel ones, thereby improving the vehicle’s dynamics.
The Type 9013 aluminum wheels are 20 inches and feature a two-tone paint finish. This change addresses the main drawback of steel wheels, which are heavy and susceptible to theft, while the new wheels offer a similar look without the extra weight.
Despite the nostalgia for steel wheels, Land Rover has created an alternative that provides an attractive combination of style and performance.
