Alloys or 8 Spokes ?
davidjmiller:
Greame,
go for 8-spokes, preferably in white. They look great but if you're like me you'll find yourself out there cleaning the wheels every other day and leaving the mud on the rest of the Landy. Then you'll paint them every couple of months - or maybe it's just me :wink:
By the way I got my steering guard at Xmas, went for the one from All4wheels - local supplier where I get 10% off as a member of Beds, Herts and Cambs Land Rover Club. i'll send you a pick when i next take one.

Nice one, Piccie as soon as please.
Cassillis:
Okay boys some PM's have arrived. I am going to make a decision today about keeping the alloys or selling them and as soon as i do you will be the first to know.
I need to point out that if the alloys come up for sale they will NOT be with the BFG A/T's as in the picture.
They will come with all the nuts over caps and locking nuts and wheel centre's

Just to add some furhter intrigue to the debate - I'm a big fan of the genuine modulars. They're not the lightest wheel on the market, but, by 'eck, they can take a hammering. However, this is only of interest though, if you were thinking about buying another set of wheels.
As for the alloy vs 8 spoke. I'm persoanlly a bit of a fan of steel wheel just due to the cost of replacement. The freestyles are a really tough wheel, but a scuffed alloy just looks a bit naff. A steel wheel is cheaper to replace and can be reaidly beaten back to a serviceable condition if needs must.
