You would need to get GOE 18" wheels - standard D3/D4/RRS 18" wheels will not fit.

Would 18" wheels fit on a 3.0ltr twin turbo diesel thingy do you think ?
Looking thru for sale ads they seem to have 19", bugger that.
Hate those stupid big bling wheels with rubbish rubber bands.
Ta.

GOE is run by GGHAGGIS on AULRO.
These rims fit over the brakes where other 18" do not fit over the brakes.

Maybe you need to move into the 21st century - there is nothing wrong with alloy rims - yes when damaged tend to be permanently damaged but are typically stronger than steel rims in the first place.
To get a steel rim made will not be cheap and most likely will have to be 19".

Too be honest, 19s are not that bad, if you're not doing any hardcore offroad, they'll be fine and with light truck construction being more available in 19s these days, it's even better.
To get steel rims to fit, the offset would be huge and besides steel rims are heavies and not as strong as allow rims, alloys can be repaired and it would have to be a pretty bad damage if couldn't be repaired, I would imagine with that amount of damage to be unrepairable, a steel rim would be in the same boat.
Don't be scared off by alloy rims in 19".

Just have a look at a 19 x 8" rim and see how much of the rim is unsupported because of the large offset. Vehicle manufacturers try to centre brake rotors to the centre of the rim for a reason. For that reason only Alloy have the advantage.
I've had 3 x alloys repaired, 2 of which I thought would of been only suitable for the bin. In the hands of a professional they can be brought back to nearly as good as new.

Well of course I can only comment on what I have experienced myself.
I have never been off road with alloys.
My concern is not so much damage as being easy to change tyres and repair them and fit tubes etc in the wild.
Tyres are easy to change and repair on steels.
I have come across blokes in the past that had stuffed tyres and run out of spares. Each of them had no tyre patches or tubes and said they would not like to try to get a tyre off an alloy wheel. They were high and dry and needed help.
I travel on my own and not in convoy and like to bush bash as much as I can.
I have to be prepared.
There are countless posts on here about lack of suitable tyres for bling wheels and many posts about sidewall damage and wheel damage.
That woriies me.
The Bitch has alloy wheels and they do fine but if it was a bush basher I would want steels.
On the later stuff I would perhaps like to see calipers with three pistons and 16 or 17" wheels and tyres to suit all outback conditions.
Our old chariots cant last forever and a late model RRS would be nice as an all round daily.
