RRS WITH STD 19" WHEELS - WILL 20" STORM MAKE A DI

Hi all

Just bought a RRS HSE, it has the standard 19" wheels but they look rubbish! I am thinking of putting th 20" storm wheels on, but will it make the car look distinctively better?

What do you recommend?

Cheers

absolutely. I had 20'' SCs on mine - but they did not survive the winter and are off for refurb. I am currently running standard HSE 19s. The 20s are soooooo much nicer looking - but the 19s are more practicable, particularly if going up rutted tracks etc If you see a bandwagon - it's too late.....

Yep, The 20's will look better but the ride comfort will suffer, so, it's a choice between looks and
comfort. 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

Many thanks for the info so far, what do you think of the 22" storm replicas? There does not seem to be a huge amount of price difference!

Stay away from 22" replica wheels............standard 20" Stormer wheels are by far the best choice for the RRS!

Not too sure why "stay away from 22" stormers" I have them on mine and are by far the best looking wheel on the RRS - just in my opinion though! never noticed much difference with the ride quality either.....

Now i'm confused! I have been offered a set of 20" geniune stormers with new budget tyres for £450, the wheels need a refurn mind you, what markings do I need to look for on the alloy to confirm they are genuine?
