more idle curiosity-I'm deciding whether to put modulars I have into my conversion or leave it looking stock ( and risking 4 spinning wheels)

If they had been in need of shot blast and paint- I may have considered them- thanks for the disco wheel offer though but I have wheels.

Modulars are not great weak rims generally and IMO look cheap and nasty. Gotta go along way to beat an LR rim, or wolf rim but they do weigh alot rotating mass and all that. Hence the Rostyle rims Very very light compared to the others and not too bad strength wise.
