17" Manta's or 16" Twisted Alloys on a 110 Opinion
Sorry another wheel post...

I really can't decide between a set of 17" Manta's (ET10) or 16" Twisted (ET0) alloys on a 110 SW, I welcome your opinions PLEASE.

I'm erring towards the Manta's as not quite so wide stance and the wheel tyre ratio is just right (IMO), but my current boosts with 30mm spacers (ET3) does give a really good turning circle, and I prefer the look of the Twisted. I unfortunately can't stretch to 18" so that rules that out.

Anyway I really would appreciate some opinions? Thank you Thumbs Up

I think I got a similar price, but mine was with 265x70R17 KO2's fitted.

The 16" Twisted were a similar price so now can't decide!

imho

Apart from the Blindo's the other three look (especially in black) the same as boost alloys (nothing wrong with that)

no idea on price for these your looking at but some cracking brand new boost deals to be had on take off wheels.

Not keen on the Blindos, not on a 110 anyway, for some reason they suit the 90 better.

What do you have currently?

I have the standard silver boosts with 30mm spacers (for much improved turning circle) and conti tyres (which i hate). I don't dislike the boost style but really don't like the silver. I've considered getting them painted, and still might. Costs are approx. £350 to paint 5 or £1700 for new wheels and tyres.

Hello

On that basis I would have the boosts painted and see if you like it. Bank almost £1500.

New steering wheel, remap and still have some spare cash Very Happy

However unsure why your not keen on the contis, I have 235's all round on mine and more than happy, quite (if you could call a defender quite) and grippy.

What you say is probably quite right and very sensible but...

Been thinking about it all day and think new wheels may have to wait. Will maybe get my boosts sprayed, the trouble is it's used everyday so taking it off the road for 3 days is difficult. Might keep an eye out for a cheap set of mud tyres and wheels as second set.
