I think there is a market for similar wheel shops in the UK......

I love buying wheels that are OEM but different from the crowd

I quite agree but would it make enough money to make it worthwhile?

You would be a better judge of that but with the right website and Google ranking I bet you/I could shift hundreds of US imported spanking black chrome wheels.....

Land Rover, BMW, Mercedes, Chrysler, etc

Bet you want these babies everyone....

Ummmm Nice

Gaz you have a PM

Stupidly, I did a quick photoshop of what mine would look like with the standard 19" wheels done black with the MTR's on, dayum, they look mean!

I was going to buy some spare 19" wheels to put my road tyres on too... 2006 Mercedes CLS

But really finding it hard to fight the urge for a S/C...

Thanks jayzee - made my morning.

I try my best

 Java with Ivory 2006 4.2 Supercharged. 23.5k miles - NOW SOLD!

All done now!

Got the wheels back from City Powder Coaters in Birmingham today - £20 per wheel for strip and powder coat in gloss black. Not a perfect job but a good one, and I am very happy with them for the price.

Good Value at £20 per wheel

Love the look and £20 is CHEAP

Looking good, I like  2021 P400 Silicon Silver AB

Once again superb look!!!

They look Black/Chrome rather than Black/Gloss which is great for £20 a wheel....

When I return to the Range Rover fold I will be doing exactly the same thing to whichever car I choose.

What's the everyday ride like on the MT-R's????

Yep, can't complain for £20 a wheel.

MT-Rs seem ok on the road so far - definitely notice the tyre rumble like you get with any mud terrain pattern but in a strange way I quite like it! Steering feel is slightly different, feels a bit less connected on centre but nothing too bad. Ride quality is a tad better than with the 20's which came off.

I'm going to keep hold of the 20s for now so I can swap between if I need to. We are using the Rangey as our wedding car later this year and I've been told that I have to put the old wheels back on for the wedding because it now looks too 'evil' with the black ones!!  2013 Range Rover Evoque Coupe

I take it you mean the wheels look too evil rather than the woman you are going to marry
