SE - Which 19" Wheels

Hi, as well as the standard 19" 15 spoke alloys that come as standard on the MY10 SE, according the the LR website there's also a no-cost option of 19" 5-V spoke alloys that the LR web site say are "more suitable for off road use".

Anyone have a picture or know what the V-spoke ones look like? What's the difference that makes them more suitable for off-roading? Are the stock wheels better for road use?

Thanks,

Those are the old "standard" 19in wheel that used to be stock on the HSE.

Tried to show you a couple of examples via the Gallery, but there seems to be a problem there.

Search the gallery for "19" wheel" and you'll see the type I'm talking about

Thanks all.

So what would make these wheels better for off-road use than the MY10 stock ones? Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.8::MG Montego Turbo::MGB GT::Rover Sterling::MGF::MG ZT 190+

Is it just the tyres that are fitted that makes them more suited for off-road use? WINNER - 2009 ‘Just Doing What It’s Designed To Do’ Award

Y spokes will be cheaper to refurb once they have been up off roading as there is less work in the prep

That is where the 'suitable' comes in
