X 5 alloy wheels in black and bfg ko2
I am looking at replacing my alloy boost wheels and tyres and trying to be a purist.

I think all the feed back is bfg 235 85 16 ko2 (all terrain) for a set of tyres.

I am looking for advice on a 16” alloy in black:

1. genuine sawtooth and I have sourced a great price for new ones (exactly double to aftermarket)

2. black boost alloys - did these come as original option from LR or is this something that the aftermarket has picked up on.

3. aftermarket sawtooth

Any input or advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated... 😉

...I can answer 2.

Black boosts were never a factory fit part.

What are you fitting them to, a 90 or a 110? The reason I ask is that aftermarket Sawtooths have a relatively low weight rating of about 1000kg, which is right on the limit for a 110. Ok for a 90, though. Darren
