Freestyele alloys

Boosts are fine, my dads 110 has them on it. Not sure about XS's you would need to check that, cant remember off the top of my head.
Hope you find some that fit

Yes 'Boost' are okay on a 110, as are 'XS' style.
My 110 has 'XS' as a standard fitment (click on pic to enlarge)
If 'push comes to shove' with regard to an insurance claim after a RTC, & you're at fault, you can bet a 'pound to a penny' that the wrongly rated alloys (if you fit 'FreeStyles') will be found out, & there will be a claim that the vehicle was not road-worthy at the time of the incident

Ive used freestyle alloys on a 110 with no problems, it ran for nearly 5 years towing my rally car around, would be interesting to find the weights of a disco compered with a 110, but hey everyone to there own, :grin:
topless matt:
I wasnt saying you cant use them, they will take the weight even though they are not rated for it.
However, i dont want blame lying at my door if someone has an accident and the insurers find out about the under rated wheels because i said they could.

Thanks guys - Boosts now in my possesion waiting to be fitted,i asked the guy and he said they could be fitted but without spacers the wheel nuts are not fully on :shock: and could work loose?. Bush Tucker have you got yours fitted without spacers or not (not holding you to anything so don't panic,cheers guys Andy.
