New wheels fitted - What do you reckon?

HI, I bought myself a full set of wheels off of Dan@Duckworth.

Here is the Old/original look:-

and here is the new look:-

I actually still like the original look, but it's nice and refreshing to see the car like this every morning, almost like a new car!!! and notice the new (Black RangeRover) centre caps too.....

I should really have taken the new pic with the car at access height as I did in the old pic....

What do you think? Which do you think is better?
Please vote above......

Those look nice - are they the 'ball polished' ones? I was very tempted as I could do with some new tyres, but had never actually seen that style on a car. Now having seen them, I'm even more tempted!!

Do you know what year they were standard / option on?

Hi Johnte, They are indeed the ball polished 20" 10 spoke wheels (RRC504560MMM). I got 5x new ones from Dan@Duckworth, all were brand new individually wrapped in original Landrover packaging with new Continental Contact 255/50R20 tyres and also the TPMS valves fitted. Have a chat to Dan, his prices were so good, less than half the price of buying 5 new tyres to replace all my old ones.

It actually makes financial sense to replace all your wheels every time you need new tyres, and get a whole new look to boot....

I think they were from 2010 model year, but not 100% sure

Same here. I have the 6 spoke ones as mine is a 2003. I prefer those even moreso! For me, it's all about having something chunky on the car to go with the rest of the styling. These dainty multi-spoke jobs just don't look right and neither do low profile tyres that some have. All in my opinion of course.
