X tech alloys how tuff is the finish ?
Hi I'm thinking of changing my boost alloys on my DC to some X tech wheels which ive always wanted but as it was a demo could not change when i brought it but am about to have a change of job and will be using it every day as an estate manager with 220 acres varying from formal gardens to paddocks to woods with some very very mild green lanes
How will the black finish hold up to or should I stick to the boosts or do you guys have any other recommendations
I will be reusing the wrangler MT from the boosts as they've only done 2000 miles
Also going to fit some terrafirma 30mm spacers to help turning
Cheers
Lee It's good to be back from the dark side

Like those wheels when I have seen them in the flesh but find that when running offroad tyres they look so much better on a non-alloy wheel.

No matter how careful you are, you will mark an alloy when offroading and alloys look so much worse than steel wheels do after a bit of wear and tear. Also LR alloys always seem to be very soft and mark easily.
