The wheels, great, the tyres not so much.

I like the wheels I've got on, and the five spoke design really pops as you see yourself driving by a plate glass shop window, they contrast well with the white body and much easier to keep clean than the standard Westminster alloys which were terrbily labourious to keep clean.

Sorry, forgot to add. The quiet versions have PNCS stamped on them, I thought the same as you, but seems not, mine only had the LR dot but not the PNCS.

To be honest I have always had a bit of a hatred for diamond cut for this reason, as well as them looking a bit cheap and overdone. They do look correct in this instance though.

It's weird in that you can pick up a brand new set of wheels and tyres for less than you can buy just the tyres.

Have you got IID? Wonder what it's like if you let all the air out the bags, could you drive on the bumpstops if there was a problem? |

My 255/55 R20 rubbed the arch lining when a front airbag leaked and it dropped to the bumpstops but it was still drivable very slowly but 255/65 R19 are even bigger so you may not be able to move it at all? 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |
