wheel & tyre dilema

[The Lovely Boyo]

Why would you ever want to fit steel wheels? They are heavier and combined with a bigger tyres will add even more weight.

They also rust badly and look terrible in next to no time.

You run steel wheels when doing serious off roading because they are better than alloys. They can take a bang and keep going.

Look here - I got 33'' Machos http://www.hiluxsurf.co.uk/forums/sh...ad.php?t=28957

Yeah - 16 x 7'' rims - they are fine.

There seems to be some kind of shortage of good quality 15'' carcases for the remould guys to work on.

I think I paid about £390 for the 4 tyres and rims.

I only put mine on when I am off roading - the 33's kill the engine.

If you are going to leave them on full time I would seriously consider putting at least 4.88 ring gears in your diffs.
