Ronal made the 'Merc Pentas' - SyncroPaddy has them on his green bus and they seem to do river wading etc just fine....

yea, these were the ones you and I were discussing on a previous thread - I thought the opinion was that the load rating on these wouldn't be up to the job.

syncropaddy - over to you...

The 15" Merc AMG replica Alloys - made in Germany by Rial - on mine, got them about 5 years ago new and they have withstood a good hammering (i'm not nice to them). I'm am still waiting for them to break.

They are looking very tired now, seeing as though you can get a similar set new for £300, they aren't too bad.

But will u feel confident 300 miles in the middle of nowere on very rough terrain with them.

They have taken a real hammering so far and survived. The only real way to go is with the correct load rating steel wheels - which, if I had the money would be the first things I'd go for. I'm far more for practicality than looks.

If I were Andrew - I'd be going for a set of the steels...

evening gentlemen, seems like I've missd a bit of tea-time banter!

yep, totally agree - steelies all the way for those exact reasons but I've allways been interested in those style of wheel because I think the look goes well with the age of the T25.

if you have a picture of your wheels Jake I'd be interested seeing them - post it up mate...

Wheel were made by Ronal for Projectzwo I think you'll find.
Nice centre caps and everything, ready to bolt on in the correct offset.
