possibly the original wheels that it came in on needed a refurb and the set in the photo's are a spare set that the garage had hanging around? The advert states 20" wheels and the wheels pictured are not that size.

On the positive side, they're a lot better looking than most of the later wheels.

My point was merely that these were the 2002-2005 Vogue wheels (normally found on the 4.4V8) and if I went to look at the car I'd be put off by this.

I'd be surprised if there weren't issues running those wheels as they are way off for the massive calipers underneath them. just look at the clearances available! i have seen fatter fag skins than that!

Certainly get the wheels off and check the calipers for scrapes and get them to fit the right ones. Why would anyone do that unless they were really really strapped for cash Sad FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

I'm with you sparkylee, what's the 2006 v 2002 deal then, while the rest (above) are handbagging eachother, like women at a wedding with the same shoes.... id like to know the facts. calipers/nuts/offset? from what I might guess, its 19 inch on the 2002 and typically 20 inch 2006 onwards, so, 2002 wheel on a 2006 hub might be tight. but ok the other way?

Its this:

2002-2005 use Black nuts that are a different diameter to:

2006-2009 models that use the Silver nuts.

2006-2009 models can use the older wheels proving "Black Nuts" are used and vis-versa

2006-2009 Cars with Brembo Brake Callipers may struggle with 2002-2005 18" Wheels but most 19" just squeeze over so are fine.

Now who has my wedding shoes..... Whistle

I ran my 4.2 SC on those wheels without issue - there is plenty of space - not being funny but my TDV8 has 19" wheels and they are 19" wheels.

I have the correct wheel nuts. What, I must ask, is the issue?

If you didn't know, well, you wouldn't know would you... But they just look wrong on a newer car. My mind associate that style with a much older vehicle, or a discovery..
It's funny how it seems ok to restyle your FFRR with a modern update, but it looks strange if you put an older style part on a newer car.... That would be a downgrade, not an upgrade ! Previously..

Right, I think I get this, putting alloys on from a model up to March 2006 is deemed a bit strange, but slapping the wrong front ends/rear ends and chrome tat on is acceptable and apparently aesthetically pleasing? Then again I just giggle at the sad idiots that try and make their RR's something they are not (there is one around here that has even gone as far as putting supercharged badges on a TD6....)


Each to their own but I have never been able to understand why people waste their money on 2010+ bits on an earlier car. The earlier cars look very good in their own way so why spend the money? Anyone who doesn't know Range Rovers would think a 2012 is the same as a 2002 anyway if you put a personal plate on and anyone who does know their RRs can easily spot one thats had a home made facelift. Its a bit like the 17 year old that spends all his income adding rubbish to his Vauxhall Corsa. Save the money and put it towards something better.
