Wait until you sell your RRS, you will have plenty more chances to modernise your alloys before then.

That's not bad actually... your average refurb here is about £60 per wheel.

The sport pics up alloy scuffs too easily - very well documented on here.

My advice - leave it for 6 months - there will be more [ unfortunately ]

Belgium 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Java Black

About three months, while looking for a new house in Brussels, "she who must be obeyed" managed to ground one of the Stormer's quite badly. I called the stealer and asked if they could suggest anyone who might be able to repair the wheel and was told that was not possible, but they could sell me a new wheel for 600 Euro, plus VAT. Chatting about this with the driver taking me to Waterloo station in London last week, he suggested I should just buy a cloned wheel. Back in Brussels I contacted Wheelbase in the UK - and asked if they would sell me one replica Stormer, no tyre. Not a problem and the price was half what the dealer wanted for the factory wheel. Got it delivery to my office within 48 hours of placing the order.

I'll have it mounted next week when we swap for the 19" wheels and winter tyres.

So that's what I would suggest as a solution... 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE, Java/Ebony/Cherry, Privacy, Sunroof, PTI, Premium Sound, SatNav, Cold Climate, Tow kit, CarStyle coded grill and vents, Tasmods, Stormers, JE Exhaust, Autobiography badge

Singletrack, there is a shop in Waterloo who will fix the alloys for 50€.

Been there when the misses crushed my brand new 17" on the Mini Cooper Big Cry

How much is it for a set of 19" + winter/off-road tires?
