Thanks much.

Spoked wheels are tougher and will withstand more abuse if used off road. The downside is they are harder to clean and, apart from a few exceptions i.e. BMW, will only run tubed tyres.

Cast wheels are the oposite.

Can the new ones be retro fitted to the earlier spoked models and does anyone know what the cost would be as against say a set of Dymags?
