Hi all,

Had a little bit of a result this weekend with one of neighbours relatives,knocked on the door offering a set of 19" alloys from his rrsport as he has now sold and down sized. Question is will it be a straight bolt on bolt off regarding the wheel nuts?,I have 20s on at the moment and the 19s are genuine LR.

Many thanks

No problem - I swap 19s and 20s summer/winter  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Seriously, for the 5 days we MAY have snow this year is it really necessary to have 2 sets of alloys and tyres? Have you got that much money to waste

Thanks muddywheels

Gilford,for the money to burn comment. the alloys have been given to me foc,the fella would not take a bean or for that matter beer tokens,but I have made a donation to my local childrens hospice.  Works well when WATCHED

I paid £600 for 5 19" unused alloys/m+s tyres because the 20" contis fitted are summer tyres, feathered @ 10k and cr P in rain

No I do not have money to burn - I figured this was cheaper than replacing contis every year and safer  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Do you know something we don't
I bought mine last year for the simple fact that i live on a hill and with my winter wheels and tyres on i don't have to sit behind everone else stuck at the bottom of it i can just drive around them which ever way i can with my 22's on i would not be able to do this for the fear of damaging them on a kerb, one damaged 22" overfinch wheel would cost more than a full set of winter wheels and tyres, besides you can play more in the snow on 19's

I bought four mint & genuine 19" RRS wheels off eBay for £400 and fitted them with Wintrac Extremes (£169 each). Have to say the ride is a revelation after the 20" Conti's which will remain in the garage until March. The alternative was to buy 20" Wintracs (£207 each) and use a Tyre Hotel (even Kwik-Fit now offer the service) to store the summer tyres until next needed but they charge for the storage and the re-fitting/balancing. As I use my RRS for game shooting it is easy to gouge the 20" wheels in ruts when off roading so the winter tyre/wheel combo makes double sense.

Worth it for the magic carpet ride alone, the snow traction being a bonus. How on earth do people live with a RRS shod with 22" wheels and tyres? Must wreck their fillings and rattle the car to bits  '10 Range Rover Sport TDV8

When your used to driving sports cars with stiff suspension and low profile tyres, 22's on a sport is not bad at all, ok one or two fillings have fallen out but i havn't had any suspension issues.

IMO i think that 22" wheels look better on the rrs because they fill out the wheel arches better, when i put my 19's on for winter they look lost in there compared to the 22's, for me its a personal thing as i'm sure it is with others using 22" wheels, i can cope with the ride because i don't find it much different, however, i was in a the other day and it felt like it was gliding over the bumps but it was a different story when you wanted to go round a corner

19", 20 and 22" are all different to state the obvious, most people agree the 22"'s are useless...thats why they are standard  Mike
