No matter how good they'd look on mine, I just can't bring myself to ruining yet another set of 20" alloys so I'll stick with my puny 18" ones instead.

Weird actually that I've had several people comment on the 'nice wheels'.... L319 D4 HSE

Those of you who have been following my debacle over the alloy wheels on the Supercharged will know that they became damaged when going into some very mild off road conditions, and after writing to Landrover with no luck, I wrote to evo magazine, not long after that, Landrover re-assessed my problem and I had a replacement set of alloys fitted. I was happier.

That was 2 months ago.

This weekend I took the Supercharged up to Scotland for a Grouse shooting foray. The journey was awesome, it just eats the miles and is so comfortable. Then, following 3 Range Rover P38's, 2 Range Rover L322's (one of which is the Supercharged version) and a Discovery 2 we all trek up into the highlands and low gear our way up, up and up some more.

The car is awesomely capable off road. It's like a mountain goat. In low range with a selection of Terrain Response programmes used depending on what we were traversing, we got there with ease. As I was the only Sport there, there was lots of interest in seeing if it could hack it with the big boys... Well it did. We all made it with ease, and why shouldn't we? We are afterall driving the King of Offroaders.

Apart from one thing. The embarassment factor of now having 4 totally wrecked alloy wheels again!!!

2 months old and they're ruined. And I mean F@@@ed. I checked all the other vehicles, as we all drove the exact same routes, and they were all unmarked, even the FFRR Supercharged on it's 20" rims was fine, but the ultra low profile tyres on the Sport SC offer too little defense and ground clearance for the alloy wheels themselves to prevent them being damaged by absolutely everything taller than a blade of grass.

The FFRR SC has 255/50/R20 tyres, so they are not as wide but have deeper sidewalls than the 275/45/R20s on my car. Both of these are standard sizes for the respective cars you should know. I have not modified anything on mine, nor had th owner of the FFRR SC.

How pathetic is it that each and every time a SC Sport goes off road, the alloys are more than likely to be ruined, leaving the owner with either a bill for refurbishment or replacement.

I was under the impression that this was the "Best 4X4XFar". It's a Landrover. That's what they are designed to do, where they are designed to go. But this just shows that the SC on it's standard wheels and tyres is totally flawed offroad.

I have written to Landrover once again and await their comment. If I feel their reply is unsatisfactory I shall be writing to a lot more people, predominantly in the national press. I will build my own web site to illustrate the damage, the off road conditions and let people make up their own mind. And of course, I shall be telling you lot, the world's largest single community of Range Rover Sport owners, how it goes.

So, I face a turning point here, I love the car as it does the 2 jobs I require of it, motorway munching and off road prowess. However, I can't afford to keep a car that costs me a set of alloys each time I use it. So what's the asnwer? Who knows? Having 2 sets of wheels is NOT the answer, who has the time, energy and patience to swap 4 wheels each weekend? Plus, where the hell do you store them?

I'll post some pics in the week to show you what I mean, but the damage to the wheels is in my mind, irreparable.

I know MDP, however, I think I'd be tempting fate!

Anyway, we're looking to move house this year so I cutting back on unnecessary expenditure. My wheels are fine, they look ok and they do the job. That's also why I'm not going to be changing grilles or vents. Plus, I won't have the car long enough.... L319 D4 HSE
