Fire storm? Do you mean Firestone tyres or Stormer alloys? There are basically 2 types of 20" alloy, as far as I know, the Stormer and Supercharged. The latter, is standard on the RRS Supercharged and, I think, looks best. Tyres, well divided opinion amongst our fellow members, but Contis are popular and ok.

Are these new or secondhand, and are they genuine or replica? Makes a huge difference to price!

There's always the risk that the replicas haven't been made to the same standard as the OE wheels. On this sort of car, is that a risk worth taking? Not for me it wouldn't be...

Or are the replicas better quality than the OE, Its not always the case of OE being better

A lot of products are produced for the Manufactures by the same company that supplies "non genuine equiptment"

if that makes sense some of my Previous cars

I know what you mean, E... but unless it was proven that a particular set of alloys are exactly the same as the OEs, just sold through a different channel with a different name then who do you trust? At least with the OE kit you know where the buck stops.

Very true, but after the warranty period with OE if you have a problem your still stuffed, and you still get a warranty period/ guarantee with non OE, But there is always doubt with non OE spares as to there quality

You don't know what you get until you try

Bob may have genuine wheel and have bad luck from day one

and Paul may have replicas and never have a single prob But this could always happen the other way around as well! RRS TDV6 Gone but still around

Mine are OE, but LR wont listen to my complaint about two having slight buckles. In their opinion, cant be the wheels, must be the way its been driven. So, no guarantees, no point paying extra for OE!!

HI BRIAN
Sorry the alloys are just called STORM,I have been told exactly same alloy just under different name as LR could sue the company for using the same name as themselves. Range rover vogue 3.6 tdv8 Gone
