Stay with me now.
For 8 months I have been looking for a suitable replacement wheel and tyre combo to replace the 18" alloys and HP Wranglers that came with the RR. I even looked at the possibility of buying a set of L405 20" 'take offs' or even Discovery 4 'take offs'. I used the usual search terms on ebay for RR/Discovery alloys and tyres but could not find a decent set within my budget.
Anyway to cut a long story short I searched 'Land Rover' alloys and found a set of genuine 20" Stormer 275 40 alloys complete with Vredestein Wintrac 4 extreme tyres with 9mm of tread on each tyre. The starting bid was £800. I was the only watcher and the only bidder. I got them for £800!
I collected them yesterday rather than have a courier throw them around. It was worth the trip
Here they are -

Good find I still can't find a set of 20" style 9 or 11's at a reasonable price within budget, no matter what I put in the search  Better to be irresponsible and right, than to be responsible and wrong.

What's the budget ?

How about these ?

I was incredibly lucky to get these and it was only because they were listed as Land Rover stormer alloy wheels. If they had been listed correctly and the tyres described in full they would have fetched a lot more.
The owner put the tyres on this set of stormers for a one off winter trip in his RR. He then sold his RR and bought a defender 90 instead. When he sold the RR the new owner did not want the additional set of stormers and winter tyres.

I've just got to wax them now with fk1000p and they'll be ready for the winter.

Alistair: Saw those and was tempted by the price, but tbh condition is putting me off a little... Fussy I know! Spose they could be refurbed but that'll add to overall cost. Prefer to have a set in better/mint condition and pay a bit extra... Ideally under a grand tho, with some tyres

J90: You did very well on your purchase. Better to be irresponsible and right, than to be responsible and wrong.

while on ebay looking for 20s try searching under VW T5 or transporter, the 20" stormers and V-spokes are very popular with V-Dub T5 owners so there's often a lot not even labled up as LR or RR !! Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

Would a set of those stormers go straight on a MY2010 with brembos...? Better to be irresponsible and right, than to be responsible and wrong.

Also beware of buying Stormers as there a several big companies manufacturing replicas and selling Wheel Tyre combo for about £800.

Check they are genuine and stamped Land Rover....

Agree with Gaz....I went to see some replica stormers and they looked ok on the surface but they were a lot lighter and the paint was thinner...these are the ones you see advertised as "RRS, D3, D4 and T5".... Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

I've noiced the amount replicas out there, same with style 11's quite a few replicas for sale on the bay, some a close copy but no cigar. Normally you can spot the difference in the spacing between the lettering 'range rover' on the spokes... They go for around £550-£600 mark... Personally, I'd stay away due to the suspect quality of finish & cheaper build quality. Better to be irresponsible and right, than to be responsible and wrong.

damn right  Far to many gone...

Not wanting to put a further dampener on things but they are also RRS size tyres, 275's should be 45 profile which is the closest rolling radius to 255/50/20 OEM, the 40 profile are under size and are for the smaller RRS  2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17
