New Wheels, Which look better ?

Just got a great deal on a set of Genuine LR 20" Stormers (Thanks to Bryan @ Town & County )and have had them fitted to the car with the Wintrac winter tyres for the moment. The problem is I can't decide whether I should keep the Stormers on and fit summer tyres to them or leave them as the winter wheels a put my original 20" wheels back on the car with the summer tyres when the time comes. So I guess I need some help deciding which wheels look best on the car and should therefore be on the car for most of the year?
Have a look at the Pics and let me know your thoughts

I love the Stormers, but they are off the previous gen car and as such make your car look dated, I'd stick with the originals

But I still think the front grille is a BIG let down on the new model........

I think the stormers are by far the best looking wheel on the 1st gen sports, I would have never replaced them on my HST......however, they don't look quite right on the newer cars compared to your original wheels.

Saying that it seems a waste of stormers for winter wheels....I would have thought 19" wheels would be better for winter wheels since the tyres protect the wheels better!

Just my thoughts.... I keep getting tempted to fit 20" wheels to my new D3 for summer use and then use my 19's for winter ones.

Long gone - 2009 Disco
Long gone but never out of my thoughts - 2008 TDV8 HST
