The new generation Mahindra Thar itself has become a head-turner in many aspects. It has matured quite well and the latest generation is ahead of the previous one by leaps and bounds. Mahindra also auctioned off the first Thar as charity. And more recently, it has received the four star GNCAP rating as well. While COVID has strongly impacted the delivery of the newly booked SUV, people are patiently waiting for their vehicles to arrive soon.  While others who have been lucky enough to get delivery are now modifying theirs.

More on Mahindra Thar wheel modification

The modified Mahindra Thar here has a set of 22-inch, machine-cut, Victor wheels. Their design is quite beautiful and rather unique, and they fill the wheel arches quite well. That said, the low profile rubber on it looks out of place. We would’ve preferred if the vehicle had big knobbly tyres, keeping in line with the Thar’s off-road capabilities. On the first looks, the new wheels do give the car a more taller look.
