Hi all and thanks to Tim in Scotland for the guidance on 20" upgrades. I now own the HSE and love it!

I have the opportunity of picking up some 20" to replace the stock 19" at a good price from a LR Dealer. They are genuine RRS alloys, but don't appear as an option on the website (although are pictured on the RRS Accessories front page).

Firstly what do you guys think to the design? I do quite like the 5 spoke look. Also does anyone know anything about these alloys as they don't appear to be a current option?

Pics in my gallery.

Thanks!

I did something useful for a change??

nice to hear you got your RRS - I'm not sure about the wheels myself though

LOL, I just wanted to see what the wheel looked like without fitting it. The perspective makes it look like a 22"..!

Together it's the equivalent of a 520/40/20 or something similar - maybe a new trend?!

Nice car - just like mine! wheels aren't my thing, sorry. Personal choice and all that, but I guess you need to consider generally how popular they are for resale...

They don't look to bad think that's the 3rd RRS iv ever seem them on

I wonder if they will be any better off road then the 20" SC's???? RRS TDV6 Gone but still around

I love boobies i love boobies i love boobies cuz i'm a big kid now! (Come on everybody sing with me you know the words!)

Thanks for opinions. I like the fact they are different and the lower profile, but am also very used to seeing 10 spoke now. Other than RRS alloys, what are the other good alloys to consider on a 20"?

Any preferences?

Interesting, never seen that style before. Not for me, but would be fairly unique I guess.

In the UK the 5 spoke 2 piece 20's are a dealer fit option - LR must have a mountain of them somewhere because I don't think I have ever seen them on a car. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I quite like them.....if you go for them make sure to swap the centre caps for black LR badges....makes a world of difference! The dealer will do it for a bit extra. They charged me £90 to do all four and the one on the tailgate, a bit pricey but I know there stuck on well and the right way up!

Thanks Jonny - this set comes with black centre caps already (as opposed to the stock first picture in my gallery) which I agree look much better.

I've got the tailgate and steering wheel badges, but held off on replacing the steering wheel one at the moment as I believe you can inadvertantly make a mess trying to get the old one out?

I may go for the alloys as they're distinctive, but not sure what other 20" options are available or if non-LR alloys are recommended.

Thanks for all your opinions and advice guys. Gone for the 20" 10 spoke "y-spokes" with black SC centres. The RRS is being delivered back to me tonight. Will post some pics when I get chance.

Added a very quick and dirty picture in my gallery. V. happy with the wheels - and indeed the RRS  TDV6 HSE, Java Black, Privacy Glass, Side Steps, S/C Grille/Vents, Sunroof, Alpaca Leather, Rear DVD/Playstation2, Phone Integration, 20" 10 Spoke Alloys

Good choice!

I think those wheels are a Discovery wheel - was at a LRE drive a couple of wheeks ago and they had them on their RRS TDV8 with std tyres on but being the 19" they were better for offroad, looked good though and was thinking about a set for winter with some AT's on  "UNDERSTEER" ----is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
