I just received the export spec price list from LR and it is cheaper to spec up an S than buying a std SE so I'll probably be getting an S.

Only one problem, LR charge £700 to upgrade to 18" wheels and £1000 to upgrade to £1000 - could someone please recommend where I could get a good set of wheels of that size from somewhere else? (not necessarily LR wheels)

I've looked around but all I've found that will fit the RRS are 20"+ wheels - I need 18 - 19" coz I'll be driving on bad roads almost exclusively.

thanks

Chex are you after 20 inch wheels? (Check your post!) 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

I've seen a few on ebay, I was just wondering if there are any manufacturers that make modern wheels in that size that will fit.

I was looking at cargraphic but they won't approve anything under 20" for the RRS.

Try ffRR wheels on ebay, post 2006MY. Then you will be able to fit decent offroad tyres if that's what you mean by bad roads

ooh...didn't think of that.

thanks

Or take a look in the various Land Rover mags, there are pages and pages of ads for aftermarket wheel and tyre suppliers in them, most sell wheels that are very similar to original fit wheels 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

there's a thread on rangerovers.net saying that the offset may be different for ffRR and RRS - does anyone know if this is true?

Also, do you think the dealer would mind if I bought aftermarket wheels and mudflaps, rubbing strips etc from ebay and asked them to be fitted for me before the car was shipped out...or would they not take it kindly?
