Hey everyone!
Looking at getting some Steel King Wheels - just wondering people's thoughts?
Any negative opinions?
I currently have factory fitted alloys on the Jimny at the moment - would switching to a heavier rim be noticeable?

My 15x8 -28's have been fine since new for about 2 years..
Are you sure your alloy rim is lighter than a sunrasier? I doubt if it is lighter, if it is, not by much.
The noticeable difference is mainly in the tyre choice.

Don't know about that
I have some of the heaviest 15x10 alloys you can buy, and they are lighter than my 16x7 sunnys.....
