Chelsea Truck Company Expands British Heritage Collection with New 20-Inch RS-Forged Alloy Wheel

The Chelsea Truck Company, guided by the creative vision of Afzal Kahn, proudly unveils the latest addition to its prestigious British Heritage Collection—the 20-inch RS-Forged Alloy Wheel. This new release builds on the legacy of Kahn’s most iconic wheel designs, blending timeless British craftsmanship with modern forging technology to create a wheel that balances strength, elegance, and versatility.

The original 22-inch British Heritage wheel became an instant classic, admired for its purposeful proportions, sculptural elegance, and unmistakable stance. It quickly defined the Kahn design philosophy—a harmony of function and form, built for vehicles with character. With the introduction of the 20-inch variant, this celebrated design is now accessible to a broader audience, extending its relevance beyond luxury SUVs to utility builds and hardcore off-roaders.

Built with the Defender in Mind

The new 20-inch British Heritage wheel was developed with a clear focus on the Land Rover Defender, both classic and modern. The Defender’s utilitarian DNA inspired the wheel’s creation, ensuring it offers not only visual distinction but also serious capability. Rated at 5 tonnes across all four wheels, the RS-Forged construction ensures the strength and durability required for heavy-duty use, off-road expeditions, and overland travel.

This makes the wheel ideal for enthusiasts who push their vehicles to the limit—whether traversing rugged terrain, towing, or building expedition-ready Defenders.

Expanding Compatibility

In addition to the Classic Defender, the 20-inch wheel extends its compatibility to the INEOS Grenadier, while maintaining fitment for the 2020+ Land Rover Defender (L663), Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series, and Jeep Wrangler JL—vehicles already covered by the 22-inch option. This versatility highlights the adaptability of the design, appealing to owners across the 4×4 community.

Precision Engineering & Design

Crafted through RS-Forged technology using high-grade aluminum, the wheels benefit from reduced unsprung weight, which enhances handling, steering response, and ride comfort. Despite their lighter construction, the wheels deliver exceptional strength and durability, far exceeding typical aftermarket alternatives.

The 20-inch British Heritage wheels are offered in Satin Black—a finish that complements the Defender’s rugged aesthetic—while Gloss White will be available soon, offering a striking contrast for those seeking a bolder look. This range reflects Chelsea Truck Company’s OEM+ design philosophy, ensuring that the wheels integrate seamlessly with factory styling while enhancing individuality and presence.

A Designer’s Perspective

Afzal Kahn explains:
“The British Heritage wheel has always represented a dialogue between function and form, honoring the Defender’s DNA while expressing our design ethos. By introducing the 20-inch size, we are opening this design to classic Defender owners and broadening its relevance to modern 4x4s. It is a wheel conceived not only to be admired, but to be used.”

Elevating the Defender Legacy

For Defender enthusiasts, the British Heritage RS-Forged Alloy Wheel is more than an accessory—it’s a statement. It acknowledges the Defender’s utilitarian roots while embracing the sophistication and strength demanded by today’s drivers. Whether your Defender is a rugged expedition rig or a refined urban icon, these wheels deliver the perfect balance of performance, durability, and design heritage.
