The Kahn Design Type 57 in Detail

The Type 57 introduces a chamfered spoke profile that distinguishes it from conventional round-section or flat-face designs. Each spoke features a precisely machined chamfer running along its upper surface, creating a defined edge that reflects light directionally and makes the spoke appear thinner and sharper than its actual cross-section. On the Defender L663, this architectural quality balances the vehicle's utilitarian proportions with precision engineering detail — the Type 57 reads as a wheel that belongs on an engineered machine, not merely a styled accessory.

Manufactured through high-pressure forging, the Type 57 achieves structural integrity that cast wheels cannot match at equivalent weight. The forging process aligns the aluminium grain structure, producing a wheel that is both stiffer and more resilient under cornering loads — a meaningful advantage for a vehicle with the capability and weight of the Defender L663.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Type 57 wheels direct-fit for the Defender L663?
Yes. The Type 57 is engineered to the 5×120 PCD and 72.6 mm centre bore specification of the Land Rover Defender L663 (2020–Present). Standard fitment is direct, with offset calculated to maintain OEM clearances.

What finish options are available for the Type 57?
The standard finish is Satin Black / Diamond Cut. Kahn Design's build-to-order process allows alternative colourways — contact Hodoor World to discuss a bespoke specification.

Can the Type 57 be ordered in sizes larger than 24"?
The standard range covers 13"–24". For fitments beyond 24", contact Hodoor World — Kahn Design's build-to-order process can accommodate custom diameter requests subject to vehicle clearance assessment.

How much lighter are forged wheels compared to cast alloy?
Forged aluminium wheels are typically 20–30% lighter than equivalent cast alloy wheels. For the Defender L663, reducing unsprung weight improves steering response, ride comfort and efficiency.

Are Kahn Design forged wheels road legal in the UK and EU?
Yes. All Kahn Design forged wheels comply with applicable UK and EU standards. Documentation can be provided upon request for registration or insurance purposes.

What sizes are available for the Defender L663?
The Type 57 is available from 13" to 24" diameter and from 5J to 14.5J width. Custom offset values are engineered to match your exact Defender L663 fitment requirements.

How do I care for satin black / diamond cut forged wheels?
Use a pH-neutral wheel cleaner and soft brush — avoid acid-based cleaners. Rinse thoroughly after exposure to road salt. Inspect periodically for kerb damage and address any chips promptly to prevent corrosion at the machined diamond-cut surface.

What is the typical lead time for Kahn Design forged wheels?
All Kahn Design wheels are produced to order. Standard lead time is approximately 4–8 weeks from confirmed order, depending on finish and specification. Custom colours or non-standard diameters may extend this timeline. Hodoor World will confirm lead time at point of order.

Do Kahn Design forged wheels come with a warranty?
Yes. All Kahn Design forged alloy wheels are supplied with the manufacturer's warranty covering structural integrity and finish quality under normal road use. Warranty does not cover kerb damage, chemical abrasion from incorrect cleaning products or damage from racing or off-road use.
