Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / November 2007Tyres & Wheels........
My 90 currently has boost alloys and BFG AT's on it. Im looking for some muds, and have seen some Toyo County Muds for sale that are fitted to black modulars... What do people recon to alloys verses black mods, and has anyone used these tyres before?

If i could I'd have alloys.. but for cosmetic reasons. Logic would say cheap modulars for laning and owt more sinister. I think the aloys on yours make part of the overall package visually.

Yup, would look well on the IIa. How is it going? Are we in for a Snow free winter ... ;-) Lee D > Tom Woods <tom@NOPSAMtomwoods.co.uk> uttered summat worrerz funny about: >> black wheels do look pretty good! i'm tempted to go at my white 8 >> spokes with some black hammerite! > > Yup, would look well on the IIa.

If its dry this weekend then snow will be less likely ;) > If i could I'd have alloys.. but for cosmetic reasons. Logic would say > cheap modulars for laning and owt more sinister. Alloys have a habit of falling apart, not sure of the mechanism but they just crack and drop apart sometimes without warning. I saw the scattered bits of a Police motor bike front alloy that has done just that and no the rider wasn't in pursuit or going fast, just as well really. Steels just bend if you hit them and are cheaper less to worry about up a lane.

Alloys have a nasty habit of shattering when bashed against rocks, steel wheels tend to just bend a bit (and can be straightened enough with a hammer to get you home). |
