OE wheels that the car came with AFAIK. Still like them better than the aftermarket/non OE choices. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

I think we should be clear here that there is a difference; as a lot of people say oh my, never should we have non OE alloys as the crack and fall apart at the sight of a stone but like most things in life there is good and bad.

There are of course some really shocking quality alloy wheel manufacturers out there and you should really expect bad quality if you want to pay 100 quid a wheel.

However on the flip side there are also some excellent aftermarket alloys which are without a doubt much better quality than the ones that come on the cars.

Land rover alloys are good but not excellent.

+1 for a common sense comment from RR8701. I appreciate that everybody is entitled to there opinion, but to tar all non OE wheels with the same negativity clearly isn't fair. GONE 2010 Facelifted 3.6 TDV8 - Stornoway Grey + 22" Overfinch Olympus

I can understand that as it does provide peace of mind as you have an understanding or expectation that they will provide quality items in order to protect their brand, provide good service etc.

Its very difficult to try and find an aftermarket alloy manufacturer that cares to the same level regarding their responsibility and more importantly its difficult to check.

For example Overfinch: they have set up a brand and in order to protect that brand and the reputation it has built they will provide excellent quality alloys. That once again provide peace of mind.
