Ineos Grenadier - steel or alloy wheels?

We’re in the process of trying to spec an Ineos Grenadier but can’t decide between steel and alloy wheels. What are the pros and cons of both in a big 4x4?

If you plan to take the car off-road and/or use potholed rual B roads then go with steels (otherwise these will scratch, chip or damage alloy wheels).

If the closest thing your Grendaier will get to off-roading is the speed humps at your local supermarket then go with alloys.
