Chelsea Truck Company, under the creative direction of Afzal Kahn, is proud to unveil the latest addition to its British Heritage Collection, the 20-inch RS-Forged Alloy Wheel. This refined evolution builds on one of the brand’s most iconic wheel designs, blending timeless British design with cutting-edge engineering.
First introduced in a commanding 22-inch form, the British Heritage quickly became synonymous with the Kahn design philosophy, purposeful proportion, sculptural elegance, and an unmistakable stance. Now, the launch of the 20-inch variant extends this celebrated aesthetic to a wider audience and a broader spectrum of vehicles.
First launched in 22-inch form, the British Heritage quickly established itself as a KAHN signature, admired for its timeless, purposeful design and unmistakable stance. Now, with the release of the new 20-inch variant, this celebrated wheel becomes accessible to a broader audience and a wider range of vehicles.
The 20-inch British Heritage has been engineered with a particular focus on the classic Land Rover Defender, a model whose utilitarian roots inspired the wheel’s creation. Built for function as much as form, the new size carries a 5-tonne load rating across all four wheels, ensuring uncompromising strength and durability for utility builds, heavy-duty off-road use, and long-distance overland travel. This makes it a practical and reliable upgrade for drivers who demand more from their vehicles.
Alongside the Classic Defender, the 20-inch British Heritage is now suitable for the INEOS Grenadier, in addition to vehicles already covered by the established 22-inch offering including the Land Rover Defender (L663), Land Cruiser 70 Series, and Jeep Wrangler JL.
Precision-forged from the highest-grade aluminium, the RS-Forged process ensures reduced unsprung weight for improved handling and dynamics while delivering durability that exceeds expectations.
Available in Satin Black and Gloss White (Coming Soon), the wheel embodies Chelsea Truck Company’s OEM+ philosophy: designs that integrate seamlessly with factory styling yet elevate a vehicle’s presence and individuality.
Afzal Kahn, Founder and Chief Designer, commented:
“The British Heritage wheel has always represented a dialogue between function and form, honouring 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.”
The 20-inch British Heritage RS-Forged Alloy Wheel is available now through chelseatruckcompany.com and projectkahn.com, with worldwide delivery and bespoke finish options available upon request.
