Anybody else think the SE wheels look smarter than the Elegance jobs? They look easier to clean, that's for sure!!

The 16" Moon Alloys on the Greenline 2 look even better........

And ride better, based on my experience over the winter on 16" steel wheels and 215/60 R16's compared to my 17" rubberbands fitted to my Spitzbergs on my Elegance.

Sorry, can you explain this concept...........clean??

I am perfectly happy with both sets of 16" alloys. To my mind they fit the Yeti in a more harmonious way than the skinny tyres on the 17" wheels.

The SE wheels are very easy to clean.

But I'd rather have the Moon alloys as I'm not usually a fan of bigger alloys, I prefer bigger tyres.

Yup! I think they are by far the nicest looking and most suited to the yeti body shape. :-)

Of the 17" rims they are probably the best option. However as I state from the outset 16" Moons suit the Monster the best for looks in my book :yes: Be very interested to see these new 16" rims that are apparently due out with the MY12.

It depends- on how you use the vehicle

For summer normal use, especially if you never leave "the black stuff" - I think the 17" Spitsbergs look good although I appreciate the "rubber bands" comments

Clearly if you are going to use the vehicle for "very mild" offroad work the 16" Moons would be better

Winter tyres are probably better on 16" and depending on the weather - does it matter how they look

Serious offroad work again the tyres are probably more important than the wheels - so steel would probably rule

If you look at the Utube Yeti "off road" vids - the featured vehicles have a mixture of 17" Spitsbergs, (as the top spec vehicles were used), and 16" Moons - the 17" have "the rubber bands" fitted and looks as if they perform as well as the 16" Moons

Mine is coming with 17" Spitsbergs - a Euro 220 option over the 16" Moons - and I keep changing my mind everyday as to which I should have - today it's the 17" Spitsbergs

I think the SE alloys look sportier than the Elegance Alloys and the Elegance alloys fits well with the leather pack as they look more sophisticated, and the S alloys are more utilitarian on the account that it is vitually impossible to kerb them.

Annapurnas.

+1 on that!

At the end of the day "cliche!" these things are very subjective. If you like a certain type then, that's your answer.

Personally I think the wheel choice is colour dependant as well, which is why I like the Annapurnas on steel grey. That's my choice though, others will have 101 different ideas. I'm sure this thread will see most of them put forward.

I agree, the chunky looks of the five spoke wheels suit the Yeti perfectly.

No

+1

Yes +1 but the moon alloys are better still.
