Stickers will be on order the second my deposit goes down on a RRS!! Promised myself I won't modify this car though, just my private reg and RRS stickers !! Spent far too much on previous cars haha!!

Those wheels are fake Overfinch "Supersport"alloys.

With it being from Stratstone, I'm pretty certain they're not allowed to sell a vehicle with so-called aftermarket alloys fitted.

How do you know they are fake? Should I ask dealer to replace with original alloys??

Two reasons why they are fake:

1. They should have an Overfinch stamp on one of the spokes

2. The wheel centre badge says Land Rover, and this is the biggest tell-tale; the genuine Overfinch wheel centres are a different diameter to fakes hence they have to fit fake centre caps to go with the fake wheels.

I would ask them to replace them, yes, I'm very surprised that a franchised dealer like Stratstone would even attempt to sell a vehicle with fake wheels, the same fake wheels that Overfinch themselves are trying to eradicate by chasing the sellers of these wheels under copyright laws.

I believe they should have Overfinch stamped in one of the spokes

I will definatly flag that up, if they won't replace I will ask for £1000 off price to source some original wheels myself. Cheers people.

Are the replicas considered weak? Or just a shame to tarnish a nice car with fake alloys??

The biggest problems with fakes is that they are made to a price for those not willing to buy the originals ergo made cheaper.

Now there's a few areas I'll try and save a few quid with regards motor ownership but not the four lumps of metal that are holding a 2.5 ton 4x4 up!

I doubt the dealer will drop £1k - if he don't - see if there's another Sport on the forecourt with original RR alloys - I had replica 22 Stormers - a bag of all 4 had cracks

Oh and just see if they'll swap them over you mean? Yeah I had a set of RS6 replicas on my TT, and 2 buckled and 1 cracked within 6 months !! Hurrendous issues! Never again!

That's the same place i got my sport from, quick to take the cash. Service after that was terrible. Current 2010 Range Rover Sport HSE with the usual toys: timed climate, Rosen headrest screens, tow bar with twin electrics, Blackvue HD cam
2008 Seat Leon K1
2012 Audi A1 2.0litre Black Edition TDI
2004 Audi A4 convertible
2004 Audi A2 TDI

In what sense where they terrible? My family have had freelanders and disco's from here before and said service was excellent?

I had an issue with the turbo actuator valve that had to be replaced under warranty within 7 weeks of collecting the car. Then recently the battery was faulty, i had to argue and throw all my toys out of the cot to get it sorted.
I had to constantly call them to find out what was happening. In the end i complained via email to there regional director who got them moving.
Very doubtful whether i would use them again tbh Current 2010 Range Rover Sport HSE with the usual toys: timed climate, Rosen headrest screens, tow bar with twin electrics, Blackvue HD cam
