Steel rims are always better in the bush. The alloy ones tend to break instead of bend. Out in the middle of nowhere with a bent rim is better than a broken rim.

What do you know about sunraysia rims? are steel? and do they perform off road

there good for off road and on road use myn get a work out never had a problem ,

what type of use do you want them for just road use and weekend 4x4ing ? if so they'll be fine.

for rock crawling you can get heavyer guage steel rims and valve guards but not needed unless you want to go extream terrain 4bying

Awesome rim, but heavy. You will notice the braking difference they make. I know that I do.

I've heard a lot about steel v's alloy in the bush. And I agree on a theory basis. I run steel rims but, I don't know anyone personally that's busted an alloy rim in the bush. Chipped, perhaps, even taken a chunk out, but got home on them ok.

In the long run, steel rims last. But alloys are nicer as far as weight and looks go.

Weight = fuel consumption.

Sunrasia's are good dteel rim. But, get good quality ones. Some cheaper versions can be difficult to balance because they are not true from manufacture. My sunrasias have lasted years as my off road set. I won't use alloy in the bush.

There is a saftey alert out about Sunraysia Rims. These wheels are very strong and breakage has been isolated. Just make sure you get Sunraysia/ROH rims and not rims that look like them.

I have had 2 sets on 2 diff cars . 1 was a hilux , 2 was a cruiser , Never had any prob . As for price they are good value to smick - up your wagon . Yes they are heavy and you will notice the diff , say driving on the beach . Go bush you;ll never now the dif . One thing when you buy them , you can pay extra for ones that have a bead of silicon were the rim has a space all the way around the middle . Or if you want put the silicon in there your self . If you do a lot of beach work they will tend to rust in this groove ! This also something to look at between steel and aloi .
