United Kingdom 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 SE Arctic Frost

Aren't these the two part alloys offered as a dealer fit option only?

They are not a factory fit option on any model. Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

TB, the local dealer has samples of all the alloys as well as all the interior trims on display in the showroom and I have never seen this wheel before. Personally I think it is a nice design, but I don't think it would suit the RRS. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I knew that I had seen something similar somewhere.

Have you looked on the FFRR page to check if those wheels are a dealer option for our vehicles big brother. Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

Tim -- the wheels pictured in your first post are 20" BBS 2-piece alloys that were introduced for the FFRR in 1st quarter 2004.

They are listed in FFRR accessory brochures starting in late 2003 (LR publication number 1957 and later). Don't know if they're listed for current FFRR.

Mudalloverit, I think you qualify for a "Snorkel Parka". A proper spotters coat.

Maybe you can borrow Martin's. Laughing Laughing Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

Nope. http://www.landroverusa.com/us/en/Vehicles...Wheels.htm

Is it just me or does that Zermatt silver HSE Sport on top of the page appear to have a color coded bezel on its side vent?

Did anyone else buy them? What do people think to them? I am unsure about them sort of makes the car look heavy footed and slow, whereas the standard 20" wheels make the car look more nimble I reckon. L319 D4 HSE

Don't like the 2-piece RRS alloys in the photos Tim posted at all -- horrible clumpy looking things. Remind me of clogs for some reason Thud

I much prefer the sleeker 20" wheel options.

I actually quite like the BBS alloys that Tim started the thread with. They look good on the FFRR. Bill

Didn't appreciate that to be honest -- none of the 20" wheel options fit with the Brembos?

Does anyone know why? It normally works the other way round with larger diameter wheels required to gain sufficient clearance around the caliper. It's not often IMHO that you run into problems fitting larger wheels with performance brakes -- unless the offset of the 20" wheels is considerably different to the offset on the 19" wheels of course? Bill
