Defiant DF01 wheels

Anyone running these? They look similar to the AEV Borah wheels but not as expensive.

Good looking rim! Maybe more of an XR knockoff than a Borah, but reasonably priced for sure.

Oooh, +12 offset. Nice to see someone making wheels with a more conservative fitment. I think I like the DF02 better, though.

Wonder how much they weigh?

I like those much more as well. they don't look as busy.

They do also look similar to the XR wheels that come with less bolts aside from the color.

They are an XR replica with the same offset.. I was tempted to get these, then the 8" wheel width dissuaded me from it.

Yeah they are 8.5 worth but I wish they were different offset. I plan to run 37s and ditch these 35s

The specs on Amazon under the OE store suggest they're on the heavy side...41 lbs each!

Single Wheel

But inside their Amazon store, they also sell a set of 4...and based on the specs there, it suggests each wheel weighs 35 lbs ?‍

Set of 4

I'm interested in these as well as their website notes that some of their wheels will accept Mopar center caps, and I prefer an OEM look.

In case any one is on the fence about this.. these look fantastic and pretty much similar to the OG XR wheels from pre-2022 JLUs

I did some research on these wheels, as I was thinking the same as you. They are about 20 pounds heavier than the OEM XR wheels. Also, the trim ring is glued on. I like having the ability to swap out rings if they get beat up on the rocks. If these issues were not a concern for me, I probably would’ve bought a set. I ended up just buying some XR takeoffs for my JLUR.
