You need the dealer to change it, pricing will be at the pre increase price even for add-ons. I was going for the 18” wheels but changed to the 17”. I though they would be a smoother ride + there are lots of tyre options for 17” 18 far far less. Pricing is also lower for 17” tyres.
Second this! I kept the 17" steels on my order, and I won't be changing them anyuway. I do not mind touching rock in steel!! I think it will be FAR easier to change these to your own specific Alloys here in Aus if you wish to do so and can be quite cost effective (some places are going big on discounted alloy + tyre combos as rates bites!) and you should be able to sell the 17s as new on the 2nd hand market here to offset quite a bit of the spend.
If you paid final deposit before the price increase they will/should honour it ask your dealer soon.
I prefer more 'rubber' than 'steel' in the side profile - but each person has their own taste. I can see these with 20" rolling around the 'up market' areas of my local Municipality.
No! No no no no no!
To my eye, without doubt the best looking wheel tyre combo
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!Just for you
Me too. The 17" alloys obviously run the same tyre (rubber) as the steel wheels. I've had both steel and alloy rims on different vehicles, and never had issues with either. Granted, steel maybe slighty tougher, but in reality, if you're breaking/bending steel rims, you're probably breaking other things too.
I went through the dealer to add the winch and change sliders to side-steps, but they were rejected, so I ended up making the changes over the phone with Ineos.
Actually quality alloys are more resistant to deformation than steel And so can probably take harder hits without damage than steel. The downside is when you find the limit of alloy is they are more likely to deform or break in ways that make them unrepairable, whereas steel may be able to be beaten back into usable shape.
