If you want to upgrade to Stormers or 20" alloys...

I would advise ANYONE looking to buy Stormers or any other set of Landrover wheels, to save their hard earned money and NOT buy the genuine articles, as I have proven with two sets of 20" wheels, they are all rubbish offroad, you may as well buy the fakes off eBay or from the advertisers in LRO and save yourself a bundle.

Landrover will want to charge you at least £2500 in the UK for 4 Stormers (perhaps more for tyres too), whereas you can get the whole lot including tyres from eBay for around £1000. Then, if you have a set of 19" wheels and tyres to get rid of, sell these on eBay, you'll get about £500-600 for a brand new set, then your new Stormers have only cost you about £400. A bargain.

The problem is the profile of the tyres, the sidewalls are just not tall enough to protect the rim at all, plus the faces of both 20" alloys from LR are so flush with the tyres, they get scratched, scraped and scoured as soon as the mud is deeper than 40mm off the ground (as per the tyres standard measurements on a 275/40/20 tyre)
