Hi Guys, I'm just about to buy my first Range Rover Sport, its a black 2006 model (i can't afford a new one lol) with factory 19" alloys, so i want to upgrade the wheels immediately because i don't like the look of the car at the moment.

Iv'e been reading quite a few threads on the forums since last night and i know not everybody is a fan of 22" wheels but any help will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

hi ,ive got 22 inch overfinch wheels on and had no problems so far .
i think the stormers look a lot nicer then the vogues ,i dont think they look right at all .
good luck with whatever you decide

Thanks mate I'm not sure which ones to buy, the Stormers look more authentic/traditional with the RR but i think the Vogues create more of an illusion because of the design which makes the wheels look bigger, so I'm still unsure.

If i had to choose between the two it would be the stormers. Be careful buying replica wheels though, quite a few of them aren't upto the job of the RRS. If buying second hand check for cracks or repairs.

ive only ever seen the vogue wheels on a rr vogue and they really didnt suit it ,it would be ideal if you could try them first

Thanks for the info but did you buy them like that or did that happen while they were on your car, if so how long did it take for that to happen?

Purchased Oct 2010 took them off 27 months later - 1 was repaired 12 months earlier - mine did have 30 side wall - which supposedly was a factor but there are members that say this size has caused them no issues. The ride was hard & I felt every bump & I drive like an old lady I prefer the 20's a much better ride in my opinion  16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

I'm new to the RR brand some I'm not familiar with all the terminology, what does "30 side wall mean?"

Google tyre size for more info

For example - normal size - 275/40/R20 - tyre width - tyre depth ( sidewall height ) - wheel size in that order

Hope that makes sense - I was told 35 was the minimum tyre wall needed for the Sport but that was never confirmed or denied  16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............
