Wheel types

Ok, I am ready for the roasting, silly answers and general ball breaking but.. wtf is the the difference between alloys and boost alloys? And what is the difference between steel wheels and modular wheels? Or is it all just bollocky names for the same thing?

Boost alloys are a particular style of alloys, standard fitment to late Defenders. Again modular wheels are a particular type of steel wheel. Technically steel is also an alloy of iron and carbon.

Boost alloys 5 spoke come on defenders

alloys can be any old sh!te

Modulars on my disco made from steel

Steel wheels come on older style landys
rrc, disco's, series & defender/wolfs all different

Just styles then, no other difference?. I thought maybe offset, width or something might have been different. Thanks

Offsets can be different, but also boost alloys wont clear the earlier Defenders wheel hubs

Boost alloys fetch good money if in good nick, other types of 'standard' issue alloys are usually available quite reasonably.
