modular wheels fitted, what's the verdict?
Just fitted these 16" x 8J modular wheels and BFG 265/70/16 all terrain this morning. The rims have a 20mm offset. I fitted them as an exclusive off road set to be replaced by my standard boost alloys when not playing off road but i think they look so awesome,they're staying on for good!

Agreed - they suit your car nicely. Mine has black modulars too, and the standard alloys haven't been back on since. Excellent choice Thumbs Up Peter

If you want cheap and a nice steel rim, choose modular!

Nice rim! Have them to!

Looks Cool ! When you getting the checker plate?

Got modulars on my 90, white ATM. Tempted to get them power coated black. What does everybody think?

they look the business, and the fact that your 90 is white, makes them even better. wish i had got a white 90, instead of a black SVX. Cheers

My dad was saying they're modular, but a quick google reviles they are in fact 8 spoke...

That looks really sweet. Can I confirm the exact size of tyres you mention 265/70 but I haven't seen bfgs in that size and they look bigger than that!

I'm after some tyres at the mo and your truck definitely has the look I'm going for!
