Are the 19" alloys deliberately dull ?

The 19" alloys that are the standard fitting by LR have always "disappointed" me. Its not just their size, I actually think they are designed to look "low rent" - thereby making the "premium 20" and Stormer wheels look much better by comparison. Are there any sexy 19" alloys available ?

19"'s not looking very sexy

20" 's look way way better RRS TDv8 HSE Rimini

I have to agree Smarticus, taking the physical size out of the equation they never really have pulse quickening designs Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

I actually quite like them...especially since model year 07 (the one that you show on your picture). The earlier design was quite dull Range Rover Vogue â€˜17 TDV6

Me too.

I'm sure there was another version available like a straight spoke design not too unlike the 20". But I've never seen them other than in a brochure. TDV6 - gone
TDV8 - gone

In terms of design, I have to say I like 20"s(SC, OEM) better but after reading topics about harder ride and vibration on steering, I decided to stick with 19".

I had 20" for my previous car(FX) and now I prefer more of "SUV like SUV" to "sports car like SUV".
