Steel bends aluminum cracks or breaks.

He can get them made in any backspace you want also. As soon as I figure out what tires Im gonna go with next I'll get a set of them and weld on a set of beadlocks.

The steel wheels are also heavier than an alloy. And a steel wheel is more likely to bend/dent than an alloy is to break/crack.

The D1/D90/RRC Land Rover alloys are some of the strongest you'll find. Only stronger wheel I know of is the Wolf.

You're saying they're stronger than all other alloy and steel wheels except the Wolf?

Yes the Land Rover alloys, on the models AntiChrist said, are stronger than a standard steel rim.
Yes they have bead locks, but they are on the inside of the rim not the outside like you see on after market monster huge a$$ rims like you see on the "build it bigger because my manhood is small" tv shows.

The Wolf rims are the MOD rims and not to be confused with NATO rims.
