Change of alloys for the supercharged..

Hi, my range rover supercharged came with 22" overfinch olympus style replicas with budget tyres, Have managed to find an as new set of 2010 supercharged alloys with continental tyres for a good price. Do you think its worthwhile me purchasing these and will i notice much difference in comfort and quietness compared to the 22" alloys. Also im thinking that if i come to sell the car at any point in the future it would look better than having replica alloys with a budget tyre. Maybe its just me but i feel the car deserves better although the replica wheels themselves do look very smart . What do you guys think? Are replica alloys and budget tyres a big no no on a range rover or a supercharged. Thanks

These are the alloys below that are currently on the car and the picture below that is of the new alloys, does anyone have a picture of these on a dark range rover.

I love the new wheels.

I've had Overfinch 22's but with a full Overfinch Aero kit on my last car - IMHO the 2 go together, the kit without 22's looks odd & 22's without a body kit look a bit wrong.

I'd also be a bit worried about non-genuine & budget tyres.

In terms of ride quality, I didn't find it too much harder on 22's, but I worry far less about kerbing the 20's.

I think those new wheels look really good and if you can do it and come out anything close to flat money wise, I would Thumbs Up

Cheers for the replys guys, after doing a bit more research im unsure if the new alloys are off a sport supercharged as the tyres are 275/40/20 and i think im correct in saying if they were off a full fat then should be 255/50/20 ? Am a bit concerned as being a lower profile tyre a bit like i currently have that the comfort of the ride still wont be great.

Re the side tubes,i was considering this to perhaps getting some proper side steps as my son finds it hard getting in and out at times.

It's 275/45/20 if you want wider tyres for a FFRR, unfortunately your Sport tyres will be a little bit small.
