Opionions guys? - Best wheels 20" wheels to upgrade to?

Hi, I bought some 20" stormer wheels online and found (with help on here) that 3 were replica (firestorm) and 1 was genuine. I know some have said the replicas are pretty good, but when one was genuine it really made it obvious that two wheels on the car would have looked different shades etc. Well anyway I'm sending them back for a refund and so I'm back to the drawing board...

What are the best 20" wheels in your guys' opinions to swap my 2006 model 19" wheels for at this present moment, as older posts do not include the new MY10 20" wheels as an option. Would genuine stormer's still be the way, or putting the 20" new style alloys from the 2010 Range's - I just didn't want it to look tacky since the grille and sidevents still give it away that it isn't the facelift model (want to avoid the look that people get when they put facelift BMW 3-series M Sport wheels on their 318ci) if you know what I mean, but not sure if this would be the case with the Range Rover Sport?...

I'm blabbing on, wondering if any of you guys had any suggestions / advice?...

Cheers,
Rav

Rav,
I guess that the answer you will get on here is to go for stormers, which undoubtedly are the nicest looking rims.
Though mine came with the 5V rims and even though I did not fancy them in the beginning I do like them more then the stormers now.

Regarding the "halfords" look, I would personally not fit MY10 rims on my MY09 car just as I would not install the LED rears lights - but I guess that it is personal opinion and taste Thumbs Up

Cheers for the opinions lads. I didn't really want any aftermarket wheels to be honest - love the OEM Supercharger wheels but it seems most RRS I see have them these days, so it's between Stormers and the new style MY10 supercharger wheels... but going on what you guys have suggested, I think I'll stick with looking for Stormers again, but original ones...thanks!

ravz9 have you checked that you can put 20's on your specific car?

You must have the steering dampers fitted or you cannot fit 20's. Steering dampers were fitted randomly to early RRS's - if you need to check I can point you to where to look to find out and teh LR service bulletin describing the specific issue.

Really hope you can, luckily I can so I bought some LR original stock 2010's and think they are really nice looking 20's. Thumbs Up
