Thread: Alloy V Steel rims.

when ive been servicing vehicles it common for bent steel rims without the owner knowing.
but not alloy.it might be that alloy wheels take more.before they crack.

Ive been very happy with the strength of the rangerover/disco wheels but these are not fitted with a low profile tyre.

the local falcon/commodore car owners ive been watching in my rural are slowly loosing the after market big dia wheels i often see these geting pink slips and repairs with a missmatch of rims.after the rain damaged road of last year there are very few left in daily use. I recently see lots of box trailers with these discarded sets.

the tyre service in wickham newcastle always had a ute loaded up with wheels for scrap.parked out the front.alloys out numbered steel--but in a CBD area i expect there to be a lot more alloy wheels fitted.

Thanks for all the input.

All things considered I’ve decided to go with alloy’s for the Jayco.
