Replica Alloys - took my 22in stormer replica wheels in for refurb today - drove away with donor alloys & a smile - lasted 20 mins. Phone call "1 alloy has 4 cracks - 1 has 2 cracks & 1 has 1 crack & a split tyre " - how the did they stay inflated.How the did it pass a Mot in Jan on the bright side - I can now convince the good lady to part with more money.

I am more than likely wrong but I can't find any reference to 22" stormers being genuine
To reward my pile of scrap when it comes home, I just bought a set of 22" khans from another site member but as I have flat spotted three original 20" stormers, am dubious how long these 22's will survive. And no Peachy your not having my Toyos....  2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈
Cruising daily #56 mph in a Volvo V8. 😱
Lots of other toys in the cupboard...😜

No - I think your right - 22in is not a standard RRS wheel size - I'm looking at some 20in OEM 2012 AB Alloys the weekend - Ive only had some donor alloys on for a day and the road noise and comfort is considerably better in my opinion. I don't need your toyo's but you can make an offer for my remaining three should you need some  16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

Thanks I will make mental note as the way my luck has run I will get a puncture the first day out
Original 20's are made by Ronal according to stickers on mine, so guess stronger than after market wheels. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

19 inch with decent depth sidewall tyres
 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Have a look at the Kahn RS-X & the RS600, both really nice as is the Overfinch Olympus.

But on your car the AB wheels would really finish it off

22" Overfinch Tigers are the best looking wheel for a Sport, but then again I am biased!

You can buy refurbed sets direct from Overfinch for a relatively low price, I once bought a set not realising they were fake and the ended up having a weld in each wheel and buckling in two of them.

It really isn't worth trying to save a bob or two by buying fakes.

Original 22" alloys crack just as easy as replicas trust me I've learned that, in fact I've had the replica 22" on nine now and lasted longer than the genuine ones , fingers crossed anyway, it's in for mot this morning so I'm sure to find out Java black 2006

I've had to turn my back on 22's (even though I love'd the car with them on)

The roads are just too messed up now to expect them to last.

I went 2011 20" OEM superchargerd style and even though they initially looked tiny I'm happy with the freedom from pothole paranoia. RRS gone
Audi SQ5...Gone Audi Q7 S-Line 240 3.0TDI Gone
