Steel Wheels

Choosing the right wheels for your Land Rover is an important and a difficult task, with a wide range of variables determining your choice - a task only further complicated because of the sheer number of models. With such a wide range to choose from, including alloy and steel wheels, it is crucial to weigh up the pros and cons of each to decide which is suitable for your desired driving experience.

The Benefits Of Steel Land Rover Wheels

Steel wheels come as standard for most Land Rover vehicles. This is because they are not only extremely cost-effective, but they are also 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 are exceedingly easy to repair. Bent steel wheels can easily be put back into shape with the help of a hammer. This gives hands-on Land Rover 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. This extra traction prevents slipping, and lowers the risk of crashing.

If you’re looking to achieve authenticity, our wide range of steel Land Rover wheels, from modular to spoked, are perfect for Land Rover Defenders, Discoveries or Range Rovers. Furthermore, we know for a fact that steel wheels were fitted to the original Series 1 Land Rover - meaning that steel is the only real choice for your Land Rover Wheels. Whether you’re looking for the wheels to suit the Defender L663 or the P38 Range Rover, we have the Land Rover wheel for you.

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 grp, 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 - especially when compared with the price of alloy wheels?
