They do come up. But finding them used can be a bit of a pain - try using an eBay search like this:

defender (td5,tdci,puma) (wheels,rims) -alloy -alloys -boost

For example, this brings up a set for £150 here: auction: #334824788778. You’d need to call the seller to make sur they have TUBELESS stamped on them, but they should be the right ones.

But in Rishmond, when you factor in the fuel cost to pick up ryc, new may be cheaper, but thank you.
A chap a few miles from me thinks he has some and will undate me tomorrow, so I will say how it goes...
