They're horrible.

Is it just a ruse to push people into spending another £1500 on optional 20" wheels?

Thanks I just bought a set

Agree. Which suprised me as my outgoing TDV8 RRS had 20"s on as standard.

So I fell for their ruse and put 20"s on

I quite like them, with the roads like they are at the moment up here I'd rather have them than the current 19s. But once summer comes I'd prefer some 20s on.

At least they offer the latest "look" and a fine ride

The preference is 19" to retain some ability to go where a RR should go without damage, but the 2011 wheel is fussy and effeminate.

What was wrong with something like this:



You could level the same criticism at the 2010 face lift, but if that's what the new breed of owner wants ...

You calling me a poof

On a serious note wheel styles HAVE to be updated to differentiate between model years to encourage buyers into new models. Why buy a 2011 if it looks like a 2007?

The 2007-2009 19" wheels are great but they relate to those model years and a new style was inevitable. My preference was the 2010 19" style I had installed on a previous 2007 TDV8:



I think they deleted it as it looked too much like the 20" version....

They are learning from Porsche , Audi , BMW except they charge £2500 for a nice set ! the money and profits are in the extras but to be honest except for wheels and entertainment systems in the back what options else would you change. My last car ( not Range Rover ) extras bill was 16K ............ Far to many gone...

The 2011 19" Style15 is growing on me



Ride comfort with style thats what a Range Rover is about

Got to say I like having a little detail on wheels, the older 19" which 'Trommel' showed look a bit dated now IMO. My favourites got to be the Style 15 ones.

Changed just for you Gaz
