Subject:Front hose and alloy wheels

What's the difference between the "vanagon with factory alloy wheels" front
radiator hose, and the regular one? My van came with steel wheels, but now
I have aftermarket alloys and I don't seem to have any trouble with the
original hose. I'm about to spend a whole bunch of money on new hoses, and
I don't want to spend more for that extra-special "alloy wheel hose" if I
don't have to...

Man, when I snapped a head stud at 60mph and 6 liters of coolant sprayed
out on my exhaust pipe in under 10 seconds, I was "new poping" like crazy...
