Has anybody seen these 20's before?



I believe they are for the FFRR but cannot find them in any literature or recent info that I have. A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

TDv8 HSE - Stornoway Grey with ebony and straight grain walnut wood-a-like interior with towpack, Tasmods. The best car I have ever owned
Now departed - Giverny Green TDv6SE with Aspen and Parchment interior - nearly the best car I have ever owned
Staying - Epsom Green Defender 90 for playing off road

Aren't these the two part alloys offered as a dealer fit option only?

They are not a factory fit option on any model. Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

TB, the local dealer has samples of all the alloys as well as all the interior trims on display in the showroom and I have never seen this wheel before. Personally I think it is a nice design, but I don't think it would suit the RRS. A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

These are the normal 2 pc alloys for RRS

I knew that I had seen something similar somewhere.

Have you looked on the FFRR page to check if those wheels are a dealer option for our vehicles big brother. Arctic Frost TDV6 SE.

Tim -- the wheels pictured in your first post are 20" BBS 2-piece alloys that were introduced for the FFRR in 1st quarter 2004.

They are listed in FFRR accessory brochures starting in late 2003 (LR publication number 1957 and later). Don't know if they're listed for current FFRR.

Will those 5 spoke wheels fit over the Brembo brakes of the s/c? I love that look. 2006 RRS Silver/Black

Mudalloverit, I think you qualify for a "Snorkel Parka". A proper spotters coat.

Maybe you can borrow Martin's.  Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

Biggles had the 2 piece alloys on his RRS.

Did anyone else buy them? What do people think to them? I am unsure about them sort of makes the car look heavy footed and slow, whereas the standard 20" wheels make the car look more nimble I reckon.

BUT - none of them are any good for RRS's fitted with Brembo's

Didn't appreciate that to be honest -- none of the 20" wheel options fit with the Brembos?

Does anyone know why? It normally works the other way round with larger diameter wheels required to gain sufficient clearance around the caliper. It's not often IMHO that you run into problems fitting larger wheels with performance brakes -- unless the offset of the 20" wheels is considerably different to the offset on the 19" wheels of course? Bill
