Wheels, CSK vs Boost,
- Thread starter KngTgr
- Start date
Personally I dislike boost wheels - they say Ford all day long and ugly. For a D1 I much prefer the stock Castors.
RRC, I'm leaning toward CSK. I have a set to clean-up, but am currently running my LWB on stock Cyclones (which I also like).

What are you putting them on? What are you trying to achieve? Making a truck historically accurate?
It's highly subjective. My personal preference is for CSK on the appropriate Rangies, Boosts on Discos and Defenders. Boosts look good on any Rover (in my opinion) but I don't think the same holds true for CSK wheels.

I have a set of boost with street tires with about 60% thread left, and a set of CSKs with MT 235/85's mounted on the Disco that will need to be replaced in the near future, I'm trying to decide which wheels to keep, with the new rubbers, 235/85's (undecided about AT or MT) and which set to sell

Sell the CSKs. They look out of context on your otherwise gorgeous Disco. If that's an LSE you're driving the Boosts are a natural fit. You might fetch a higher price for the CSK from someone doing a Rangie restoration. Boosts aren't as rare, but there are people with older crappy 90s they paid too much for who want to update the look.
Thanks for the advice, I will wear out these KMs on the CSK's, when I need to replace them I will Install the new rubbers on the Boosts, and sell the CSK's.
They sure do, maybe even better than the CSKs, but I gave my opinion out of the 3 choices given in this thread.
If we're expanding the discussion here then my vote for ugliest wheels goes to the stock steel spare. Castors are not bad looking, just not near the top of my personal list. One of my favorites for the Disco is the 5-spoke propeller wheel that was sold in the rest of the world. I don't know the official name, but it's this design:
Have 4 of them sitting in the garage. Had them on the Rangie and bent one on Hannibal’s trail in Italy.
