Great video which inspired me to purchase the same wheel which arrived today and looks even better in the flesh......just awaiting the Optimil quick release boss to arrive and i'm good to go!
Hey there.. I have been looking at exactly the same wheel but have been told by some that 350mm is too small and horrendous on the highway.... They say they sweet spot is 380mm (Momo Montecarlo)
I finally got my black 2012 defender 110 today in Australia. I am so excited I can’t sleep. The original headlights on the defender is terrible. Do you have any suggestions of an upgrade led system? Much appreciated 🙏
Congrats! Yes definitely upgrade the headlights, I don't know about Australia but in the UK they need to be a certain standard to pass the annual MOT checks, so just make sure you buy from a decent place as there are lots of dodgy Chinese ones out there.
Loving the videos! As a recent new owner to a Defender, the videos have been really handy! Looking to upgrade to a removable boss with a similar heritage steering wheel, What boss spline / wheel size did you need to get? Keep the videos coming!
Thank you Zach, the wheel size on mine is 350mm which gives a fair bit extra room compared to the huge OEM wheel. I'm not 100% on the boss spline as the Optimill was already fitted on the vehicle when I purchased it, so the part you see being swapped over on the back of the wheel is just the bit that securely attaches to the main boss on the steering column. You should be able to find Spline info out easily enough though in any of the Landy forums. Thanks for watching and hope you're enjoying Defender ownership.

I find our size wheel absolutely perfect, guess it's just down to personal preference on sizing.
Do you know what size wheel is used in this video? 👀 I’m after the same
How did you integrate the directional cancellation connection between the optimill and the plastic cancel-er gizmo?
Looks miles better 👌
Cheers, totally agree :)
Epic choice of wheel.
Cheers, looked at quite a few designs and this one I feel just suits the Defender perfectly.
Great vid thank you.

Why don't u use the horn retainer ring that comes with the prototipo?
I'd love to but having the Optimill removable boss doesn't allow for it to be fitted.
I'm curious.. are u getting the upcoming 370mm prototipo?
No I'm very happy with the current one, perfect size and look imo. 👌
U should get the black edition..

Hi there. I have just ordered an optim
Quick release boss for my defender. Did the shorter screws come as standard or did you request them? Cheers
I believe Optimill include the shorter screws in their pack.
I wonder if the owner had loctite them in.
Very possibly...!
