I recently acquired 3 Autobiography wheels with a diamond cut finish. Needing to complete the set I recently bought another on the bay-of-fees but when it arrived it has a "chrome" paint finish rather than diamond cut on the spokes. The seller assures me that it's an original from his previously owned 2011 car. Pics below - one of mine on the right.

The part no's match and I wondered if it had been refurb'd but the seller assures me not during his ownership.

Does anyone know if chrome effect painted Autobiography "Style 8" wheels were originally offered by LR as well as diamond cut?

I can't find anything that mentioned painted spokes in my online searches as it's something I'll need to be doubly aware of when looking for another.

I may just have to keep this as the spare when I find another or, as they're not perfect, have the other three refurb'd to match the painted finish one as IMO diamond cut can often be more hassle than it's worth.




 2010 TDV8 - current - my first RRS, loving it so far......
2005 Cayenne S - handling defied physics and what a sound, so sod the mpg!
1995 Disco TDI- surprisingly reliable, shame about the peeling dash & other trim
Lots of other non 4X4's in between times.........

Had a quick look at a brochure I have here and describes that wheel as Anthracite 20" Diamond Turned which I imagine means Diamond Cut on the Face and painted Anthracite between the spokes, no other options shown for the same style "8" wheel, just for reference the Part No. would appear to be LR019336 but may be wrong on that one. Also says only available as a no cost option on the A/B

Cheers Col,

Your brochure seems to support the limited info I've found online.
