Vossen Wheels shows off a Land Rover Defender with a stealthy treatment that includes wearing a set of the company's Hybrid Forged HF-2 wheels with a black finish. Other special touches complete the look.

The 20-inch HF-2 wheels on this Defender feature a fresh take on the classic Y-shaped spoke design by adding an extra angle for each element as it runs between the rim and hub. Hybrid Forged refers of Vossen's process of using a cast wheel and using hydraulic rollers to apply pressure to the barrel, which stretches it. The production method improves the grain structure of the aluminum, resulting in a stronger product.

The company mounts a set of 20-inch Goodyear all-terrain tires to the wheels.

Matching the look of the HF-2 wheels, there's a satin black wrap over the entire vehicle. Tinted windows along the side make the vehicle appear even darker.

While the model wearing Vossen wheels is the four-door Defender 110, the two-door Defender 90 is finally becoming available in the United States after facing a delayed arrival because of the COVID-19 outbreak. The smaller crossover boasts an improved breakover angle than its larger sibling but can still swallow as many as six passengers.
