Steel Wheels for Land Rover and Range Rover

Choosing the right wheels for your Land Rover vehicle is an important job. With such a wide range to choose from, including alloy and steel wheels, it’s crucial to weigh up the pros and cons of each to decide which is suitable for your desired driving experience.

The Benefits Of Steel Wheels

Steel wheels are standard for most Land Rover vehicles. This is because they are not only cost-effective but durable and hard-wearing, too. In fact, the strength of steel wheels is probably their biggest benefit, especially if you’re an off-road enthusiast that likes to put their Land Rover through its paces. While alloy wheels are more prone to cracking if damaged, steel wheels are almost impervious to this and, as long as you maintain the layer of paint on your wheel, steel wheels will not rust.

Should your steel wheels sustain damage while out on the road, they’re also easy to repair too. Bent steel wheels can easily be put back into shape with the help of a hammer, giving hands on Landy owners the power to keep their vehicle in tip top condition for less. Further to this, in colder months, steel wheels are an advantage for vehicles taking on icy or snowy roads, as the extra weight creates more friction which prevents slipping.

Steel wheels would have been fitted to the original Series 1 Land Rover. So, if you’re looking to achieve authenticity, our wide range of Land Rover steel wheels, from modular to spoked, are perfect for Land Rover Defenders, Discovery or Range Rover vehicles.

Steel wheels are renowned for being heavier than alloy wheels. This increases the unsprung weight of your Land Rover - that is, any part which is not cushioned by the suspension system - and may increase fuel consumption and may make handling feel heavier when on a paved road. That being said, once you get off the beaten track and hit the trails, the heavier unsprung weight and lower centre of gravity actually works to improve grips, especially when combined with a suitable set of 4x4 tyres.

Another advantage of using Land Rover steel wheels is that, in more extreme off-road situations, they don't crack no matter how hard you work them. What’s more, emergency repairs can be made in the field to get you back off-road quicker. And did we mention that there are considerable cost savings, too, when compared with the price of alloy wheels?
