P38A What are the best alloys?

MrGorsky · 2025-01-23T23:10:28+0000

Which ones look the best.? And why...?

16 or 18 inch version?

Why are used Mondials so expensive?

Expensive due to the weight rating needed for the P38 perhaps?

Mine but in 16".

Don't know what mine are called but they're strong and allow plenty of cooling to brakes. I see one of my spare set has gone missing?

16" is more forgiving on the potholes. A bit vague in the corners but the 18" are hardly precise.

+1 on the 16"

My approach would always be to fit appropriate wheels, not pimp the old girl.
Fitted with factory option Stratos wheels and slightly oversize Geolandar tyres on receipt. Slight benefit with that size of tyre is the speedo is more accurate…

Thats what I have on mine

My spare is a Stratos. I suspect the original fitment from 1997, but when I bought it, she had similar wheel but from the Disco2 I think. A sort of Stratos with an extra furrow in the spokes.

I think I’m in the market for getting a used set refurbished and then swap them over so I’m not off the road.

I like Hurricanes myself.

I’m running AT2 tyres at the mo, and I think something a bit less aggressive would be better. I never really go off road.

I run 18" Hurricane alloys with Nexen Rodian M&S tyres, good wet grip, good ride and they seem to last well. No good for off road though.

My answer to the original question is, whatever you like best, cos I don't care. These are mine (don't have better pics):

Mine are triple-sport then! Not even in the list although #1 on Mr Gorsky's next post?

No need for oversize: my speedo is perfect as it is.
