I am a new owner L405 AB and whilst I am in love with the colour (Aintree Green), I am not a big fan of Glass Black Alloys. The car came with the gloss black alloys from factory. As all 4 wheels have light curb rash, I thought why not use this opportunity to refurbish them and change the colour.

From what I have been reserching, the 22" Turbine wheels came in the following colourway:

-Black
-Silver / Diamond cut finish
-Black / Diamond cut finish

I have seen some in back with an almost black chrome finish and some in grey. Are these OEM finishes?

The brochures I have show only black with diamond cut and gloss black (part of black design pack) finishes, but they only go to 2015 so maybe there were others later. Only Range Rovers since 1988

The original design was black diamond cut - although it's more a very dark grey. Proper black is a giveaway of a fake.

Then came a darker version which is pretty rare - it was done to tie in with Dark Atlas trim vs the standard Atlas trim. It was basically a tinted lacquer over the top of the original design.

Finally there's all black - as part of a black pack along with black trim.

Anything that is all silver (and genuine) is a refurb, along with (probably) a good number of the all black ones. Diamond cut refurbs are expensive & therefore less common.

There's also loads of fakes/copies out there.......

Looks standard to me.

Looks genuine too as you can see the difference between the centre cap (black) and the wheel (dark grey)

The dark ones are pretty rare

Thank you. I appreciate your help.

The image in my avatar is of my actual wheel, in Diamond cut with Grey (Corris I think) finish.

I think wheels finish off the look of the car, and when you spend a couple of grand on them (when new) then I want to see them!

When I got my previous L405, it came with the diamond cut turbines. After 3 years, the lacquer was peeling and there was a good dose of kerb rash, so I had them refurbed. The company doing it said they couldn’t be cut any further, so I had them powder coated in the base colour, which is a dark grey, not black.

Do you know what the paint code is for the dark grey?

I bought a touch up stick from Ebay for Corris Grey LRC 873 for the dark grey in my diamond cut turbines.

After much thought, I have finally chosen the wheel colour,

I believe that the picture is the wheel with the tinted lacquer, my alloy refrub guy will not be able able to do a tinted lacquer but they will paint as close to the color as possible (apperently they have done a few before and got the colour very close).

What are your thoughts on this colour wheels over Aintree Green?

As Andy S found out, they may have been painted all over for a reason, in other words they've been recut one too many times and it might not be possible anymore.
But if you can I reckon the diamond cut will look better on the car than black wheels.

Was offered this as a rectification for two of my alloys (strangely on the same size) that have 'whitened# under the laquer, looks good but they wanted £250/wheel!
