Can understand where you are coming from , but LR dont give you much of a choice or variety.

Defo the second one with more spokes, one of the things that lets our cars down is the disc hubs which seem to rust very easily. If you had the first ones on you wouldn't see the wheels as your eye would be drawn to the discs all the time.

I prefer the current 20" alloys, look smart Discovery 4 HSE

Could always get them powdercoated

both look nice but just not my taste i.e the big wheel look BUT if i was going to go for that type of wheel maybe a secondhand set of overfinch wheels and get them refurbed they are still big and classy and in keeping with the FFRR  onto no6 Range Rover

Everyone needs a hobby

Mick, you know my views.

Personally i like Revere WC1 wheels but not sure i could live with the ride so i stick with genuine LR 20s. I am not generally a fan of non OEM wheels but Overfinch & Revere are the ones to go for if you want non OEM.

If you must go Revere 22s, then WC1's are the ones to go for as they are "the revere wheel". WC2s are a diamond cut for the record, and can get water penetrating the lacquer which can look shoddy later.

Have you looked at the new Autobiograpghy wheels. I have a set of each type that i am waiting for the good weather and will fit to mine. Just not sure which to try first.

I prefer the WC2 but but don't they look similar to the rims of X5 (E53)4.8is !

Do you mean these one's Adrian , ( No 4 picture ) Range Rover New 20 inch, Diamond Turned, Twin 7-spoke

would it be the same problem with water penetration as i think these are diamond cut

Yes these are diamond cut too. It is possible but less likely as OEM however always a risk. I had BBS split rims (not on my RR) where the lacquer got water penetration and it really annoyed me. The Autobiograpghy are a new and very rare wheel and i have not had any feedback to it being a problem with it yet. I am waiting for the good weather until i put mine on but i will probally only run them for a few months and then change them. The other type i have is the Chrome ones below

basically wheel 3


These also need to have a bit of good weather i would imagine unless you want to polish them everyday.

If the Diamond cut wheels ended up with water Penetration , would they be able to be refurbed , as i wont be changing the wheels they will be kept on all year round .

Yes Mick, you can refurbish but not a £20p/wheel smart repair type. It will need a £60 proper job which will involve a strip down (the wheel not you!!) and bake. You probally wont get any penetration for the first couple of years if any unless you use £10 car valeters using acid cleaning products or kerb / scuff the alloys which break down the lacquer.

I see lots of aftermarket wheels where the lacquer breaks down

I like these the most.

Look better in the Pics than on the car imho. Also will be more common over the next 12 months if LR actually sell some cars .
