Having placed my order for an Autobiography this week it seems there is a distinct lack of choice when it comes to style of wheel. There are 2 styles exclusive to the SVR, 2 exclusive to the hybrid, another 3 only available to the stealth pack, one design is no longer an option, which leaves the 507 style or the split spoke in 21" or 22" . Basically a choice of 2 designs.

The problem you have is that wheels are meticulously tuned to specific models so a wheel that is set up for a Disco almost certainly won't have the dynamic or ride capability of the wheels on your RRS. I don't know what the offset is on Discovery wheels anyway but I'd be wary of going down that route.

Dynamic or ride capability are fully garantied when you choose Range Rover dedicated wheels.

I hadn't considered it from the dynamic point of view to be honest. It just seems that there should be more choices than the 2 designs on offer. I have seen a RRS2 a with what I now know are Full Fat wheels so just wondered what others would fit. Thanks for the replies MY16 AUTOBIOGRAPHY Indus silver with some toys

There are an awful lot of aftermarket suppliers out there who offer fantastic looking wheels but a good majority of them wouldn't meet our exacting standards.

The wheels are 22 inch Hawke Chayton's with the original Range Rover fitted Continental tires 275/40/22 ( Hawke also for Bentley).

When changing sizes even with the OEM wheels I think you need to ensure that the dealer changes the settings on the tyre pressure monitoring system too... Particularly if going from a 21"to 22"" wheel.. |

I've done and and love it! 22" Vogue Autobiography wheels on my sport from day 1 delivery day fitted by the dealer. Ask the dealer to take out the TPMS sensors from the standard wheels and fit them to the new wheels. Don't get new sensors as it proved a nightmare for me!

Each to their own but I prefer how your car looked with OEM wheels |

My car will only look like this in summer. The oem wheels are still here with winter tyres.

Have a look on the KAHN website , or even Overfinch . Both have a relationship with landrover . We are having the kahn cosworth alloys . |

I bow to your knowledge sir , but you know what I mean they have been dealing with landrover for years , there must be some mutual respect as I can't see them selling £100,000 + cars without the landrover warranty . Both companies seem to have a good stock / supply of new model cars . |
