tbh I agree - my wheels were basically ruined after the Salisbury plains event - all four wheels had chunks of alloy taken out of them and 2 had deep scratches in them. Of course I could have had them refurbed, however I needed 2 new tyres aswel so decided to get a second pair and then just use the 19's for offroad.


Ah well , In that case, I can totally see the logic in what you did, they do look good M8 Thumbs Up 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

Having lived with 19's for the last 11 months we have got to know the ride quality very well indeed - after upgrading to the 20's I can confirm the ride is most definetely harder. We live in the countryside with the usual uneven lanes from tree roots and pot holes that are rarely repaired - we also have to drive down a short off road section to get to our house (approx 200m) and straight away my wife and I can tell the difference. I wouldn't say its a problem as its not 'harsh', however thought I'd just share my experience for anyone considering the upgrade.

Belgium 2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Buckingham Blue

Looking at alternative wheels for going off road the 19" ones look the best bet with goodyear wrangler MT 255/55/19.
On another forum some one mentioned that the TSW Vortex 18" would fit the supercharged but the load rating was marginal at best. I found the same wheels over in the UK and they are a reccomended fit. Sons of dogs come hither and get flesh

I will put some Wrangler MT's on the 19's before venturing off road again - one of the key advantages being they protect the alloys from damage better.
