2005 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Java Black

There's no link so cant say for sure.

Ask the seller if they are load tested and if so to what weight ?. Take the weight of the car and divide by 4 to know the wheel load rating. Always go significantly higher to be safe.

A lot of after market wheels have tendency to crack so load testing is essential. Surface finishes often deteriorate aswell costing a lot to refurbish.

Also ask about warranty / guarantees. No warranty = poor quality.

Id stick to genuine LR / RR wheels to avoid any doubt.

Just my opinion of course.

Hi Carlos
Thanks for your input.
If honest these seem too good to be true and I would be concerned about quality though I have had a response from the seller to say they are rated for the Range Rover Sport, They also have a tyre on that I have not heard of but again the manufacturers website actually shows them on a RRS

See here:

I wouldn't take "they are rated for the RRS" as an answer.......what load rating are they in kg??

It should be around 1050kg per wheel
