Steel Wheel/Brush Guard Options for 2003 G500
I'm looking at Steel Wheel Options for a 2003 G500. Has anyone tried Sprinter Wheels. I'll powder coat black. Planning on going with BFG's and do plan to off road
Also, I need a brush guard option, I've found a couple aftermarket options, has anyone tried anything aftermarket. Winch Options other than the Tow Pin Bumper?

steelies
From my little research there are no OEM steelies that fit later w463s due to the vented brakes unless you put spacers, including the Sprinter wheels. The OEM steelies are also 6" wide

If you scroll down there's an aftermarket set of 8x16" that seem to fit later 463s but no idea where to get them.. http://www.rubicon-trail.com/G-Class...mg/disp/GK.jpg - I also think they're kinda ugly.
I think you're better off with 16" alloys - the Atiks and Ashtaroths are handsome 16" wheels. - FYI OEM tire size is 265/70/16
Can't help with the brush guard or winch but for brush guards I say lookout locally or at forums for used sets.
