Whats better for Off roading?
My 2000 Jimny is currentely fitted with a set of tired looking steel wheels and want to fit some alloy wheels from a later model Jimny. As they look more asthetically pleasing.
I only plan on doing mild off roading so wonder would the wheels stand up to going off road or would it be best to buy a set of new steel wheels. |

alloy wheels should be able to hold up to everything you will throw at them |

If it's just mild off roading then the alloys should be okay. I've seen a lot of warped alloys though, so if you want to be safe and not bankrupted - then go for steels, they're cheaper to replace. _________________ 2004 2.0L Petrol Grand Vitara LWB

I quite like steels look more hardcore, I have just spent the weekend rubbing down and spraying my alloys black for that hardcore look Wife's going mad there drying in the dining room and stinking the place out _________________ There not canoes more of a snorkel and aero aid rolled into one |
