What do you guys think of these wheels?

Got an excellent deal on these wheels for my 2010 RRS S/C Just wondering if anyone is running them and what their opinions are.

They look a nice design but being made in China, they are likely to crack in my opinion. They may even not be rated to the weight of a RRS, they are after all about 1 Ton heavier than other Jap SUVs. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

The amount of Chinese wheels we get in with cracks,buckles is unbelievable even Khan are Censored .The only aftermarket wheel I recommend is Hawke from a company called Sixonetwo,ive got a set on my sport & this is the 4th sport ive had them on & I take them off regular to clean them & I always put them on the balancer to check them & they still run true,you can tell by the weight of them when you pick them up without tyres on & the Chinese ones are a lot lighter so not as strong. Andy.

Thanks to those who offered constructive opinions. Regardless, they are here and instead of just assuming they are crap I’ll post in a year and let you know how they hold up. I totally understand the preconception that being Chinese wheels they may not take into account the weight of a Range Rover but you never know. They will strictly be summer tires so no winter conditions for these babies 🤪

IMHO I would listen to Tyrefitter, Understand you have purchased them already but I would have asked for advice beforehand. Look forward to your update in 12 months time and good luck with them. Thumbs Up

I bought a set of 20's for the winter and yes they are in the bracket of "CRAP" as some would put it..



They have been on the car now for nearly 7 months,
just about to change them back to my summer wheels..

I have only done about 3k miles but they are as new condition..

Give them a really good wax or a ceramic coat before you put tyres on them,
this should help keep them clean and easier to clean when on the car..

Go for 275/45/20 I went for 40's and they look a little small..

Enjoy..its your car you put what you want on and in it..

once you stop smiling its time to change something or change the car.. ===========================================

According to this site they are out of business so if they are cheap, it may be worth getting a spare just in case.

As Autobiography says,polish them then wipe them down with panel wipe then put a coating of Gtechniq C5 on them & leave to cure for 24hours in a dry place & they will be a doddle to keep clean plus it protects them against brake dust etc. Andy.

It wouldn't make them any stronger though so I'd be wary

Standard LR wheels have their load rating cast in to the back of one of the spokes. Do these aftermarket wheels? Do they have any information on the back of the spokes? 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

What is the load rating of a LR wheel?

Would be interesting to compare.. ===========================================

I have a set of genuine 21" SVR rims on mine and they are rated at 950Kg.

Cheers

The winter ones on the car now are 850Kg from the advert will double check next week when I swap them.

The summer ones are 860Kg from the actual wheels..

so a little less than yours but so far all good..

And I suppose at least I have a back up set if I break some..

Reading up you should take the overall axle weight,,Anyone ?
and divide it by 2..

That number is the minimum Load Rating per wheel..

So axle weight needs to be no more than 1,700Kg

Is this correct??
Maximum mass on each axle (rear) (kg)‎: ‎1,775
Maximum mass on each axle (front) (kg)‎: ‎1,500

If so you take the higher number and divide by two..= 887.5Kg

So I am a little under on both..this opens up to a higher risk,
of cracking and bending..

If yours are the same CANROVER just check them over a few times a year,
I am sure you would notice if you had a large crack.. ===========================================
