But, with all due respect to Hoppy, he is a newbie and I've been looking at those stormer alloys since 2005 when I bought my Range Rover Sport Supeprcharged and can speak from actual experience.

Hoppy, no offence meant by that statement, but for most of us we can clearly see which wheels they are.

ALSO, as long as you like them it doesn't matter what they are, its all person choice.

Hoppy, please put us out of our misery

I think I have lost this one though...



Just to clarify; I am not going by the spokes as the image is just too jagged when zooming in.

I am going by the shape of the rim near the tyre as they are both very different if you look at the comparison rims on this thread.

So, basically I am ignoring the front wheel, but instead am going by the profile on the rear wheel in that picture of Hoppy's car.

Very nice, I think the wheels suit it

Guys I'm deeply hurt and offended that you didn't take my word for it

and to clarify, I may be a newbie to this website but this is my eleventh Range rover and a bigger RR nerd you will struggle to find.

To be fair, those of you that are wrong have good grounding. Looking at Gaz's zoom in I had to go and check myself

It is though, definately a trick of the light. I can't believe you made me post manky wheels!

NOW do you believe me!!

Right, you lot owe me £1,000,000

Hoppy, I had faith in you, but those shadows on the spokes was worrying me somewhat.

Well, that and those so-called Range Rover experts putting pressure on me

The even insulted my eyes and computer screen! :lol:

Nice one hoppy_70 ... S U S S E D ! Never doubted you! (Congrats on the car by the way )


Well done Jayzee You put your neck on the line there!


RRUK and the other doubters - disappointing, v e r y disappointing Shame on you!

Just a Stormer in a teacup really.

Must admit the looked like stormers to me based on my zoomed picture:



Glad to see/here that they are the genuine article as that's the best result for you as the OEM S/C wheels are really rather nice.

Good luck with what looks like the beginnings of a very special car indeed.

Gaz

Where's Adam? I have some humble pie with custard.......

Wow, didn't see that coming at all, that fuzzy picture made them look like stormers. I stand corrected and offer my humble appologies!!

Also, I made the wrong assumption re your RR experience. Again....

I'm pleased though that they are the genuine article as they are much better.

well done, I shall now eat crow pie

Really odd how those spokes look though - each one with a ridge down it - you sure its the same car

Haha, yes definately. It is wierd how they go all 'stormer' on zoom. It is an incredibly low tech photo taken with an iphone. It's intentional so you can't see how crap it looks before I do the big valet on Sunday
