Some of you may have read my post and know I'm looking to upgrade to 22" rims.

The problem is I've been trawling the usual sites, Ebay etc., and have noticed an alarmingly high incidence of cracked and split alloys in the 22" size. I realise these are copies of genuine designs but unless I'm mistaken LR don't actually produce any in this size?

If I do go down the 22" route does anyone have experience of what makes to avoid? There must be some replicas better quality than others?

I've always fitted genuine wheels and unless I can find a 22" replica wheel that's actually any good I may abandon the idea!

Overfinch do 22" wheels but they're out of budget!

Anyone point me in the right direction?...

Dont go down the 22" road,,ive taken loads of tyres off 22" which have been damaged,i did one for a customers who hit a pot hole & it had split straight down the middle,if he had been traveling at speed when he did it he would'nt be here now.

On the other hand, I had 22'' Stormer copies for 3 years and they were perfect..granted no off road work, but 55,000 miles later....

A lot of 22 rims out there are not weight rated to be used on a rrs.

Check before buying that they are rated for a minimum of 1000kgs.

Plus make sure you use a premium tyre ie Toyo or similar, the cheaper alloys out there (on eBay) come with cheap tyres and they have weak tyre walls compounding the weaker alloy issue. Result, one pot hole equals bust rim RRS gone

Do not buy cheap 22" Rims and check loading are "real" and better still TUV approved 2014 5.0SC AB
