Got an excellent deal on these wheels for my 2010 RRS S/C Just wondering if anyone is running them and what their opinions are.

The amount of Chinese wheels we get in with cracks,buckles is unbelievable even Khan are .The only aftermarket wheel I recommend is Hawke from a company called Sixonetwo,ive got a set on my sport & this is the 4th sport ive had them on & I take them off regular to clean them & I always put them on the balancer to check them & they still run true,you can tell by the weight of them when you pick them up without tyres on & the Chinese ones are a lot lighter so not as strong.

Thanks to those who offered constructive opinions. Regardless, they are here and instead of just assuming they are crap I’ll post in a year and let you know how they hold up. I totally understand the preconception that being Chinese wheels they may not take into account the weight of a Range Rover but you never know. They will strictly be summer tires so no winter conditions for these babies 🤪 |

IMHO I would listen to Tyrefitter, Understand you have purchased them already but I would have asked for advice beforehand. Look forward to your update in 12 months time and good luck with them. |

I bought a set of 20's for the winter and yes they are in the bracket of "CRAP" as some would put it..

According to this site they are out of business so if they are cheap, it may be worth getting a spare just in case.

As Autobiography says,polish them then wipe them down with panel wipe then put a coating of Gtechniq C5 on them & leave to cure for 24hours in a dry place & they will be a doddle to keep clean plus it protects them against brake dust etc. Andy.

It wouldn't make them any stronger though so I'd be wary |

Standard LR wheels have their load rating cast in to the back of one of the spokes. Do these aftermarket wheels? Do they have any information on the back of the spokes? 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
