Hi Guys

I have specced the 5 spokes on my new car, these being the 'only' available optional wheels on my TDv8. I am starting to have second thoughts, does anyone have any pics of these as I have only seen the ones on the LR website, or should I consider alternatives? Thinking along the lines of Overfinsh 20's or 22's, maybe this will ruin the ride? If I go this route will get some wheels for offroading.

Comments from the wise please!

You can still buy Stormers and the "supercharged" styles even though they are not shown in the sales bumph, but I doubt you would get them as an option, depends how keen to sell you the car the dealership is............. 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

Yup youre right according to the spec list. The 15 Spoke are standard on the TDV8 and the 5 spoke is the only available option @ £499.63.

20 inch 15 Spoke Alloy Wheel Diamond Turned Finish
20 inch 5 Spoke Alloy Wheel (new for 10MY)

and these are a no cost option:

19 inch 5-V Spoke Alloy Wheel (off orad alloy wheel)

Id recommend getting the standard 20's and selling them on to fund any other wheels you may be interested in. (i figure youd make the most on these since you wont have to outlay £500 to get them). WINNER - 2008 Best All New Photograph

Agree - not a big fan of those either.

Not sure how many are selling with those, as out of all the MY10 SCs I've seen on the roads I don't think I've ever seen a set of those in use...

Cheers for your replies.

Not sure I like them either!

Any suggestions for any aftermarket ones?

I wanted the stormers, these are optional equipment on Land Rover website, but the dealer could not find them on the price list.

Does anyone have a photo of the standard wheels?

Thanks again.

John

OK, found a few I like, Kahn RSc 22'' or RSX 21''

Anyone have these?
