Are those 6 spoke wheels genuine?

I can't see a 20" alloy weighing 40kg really. |

Agreed. And it doesn't. According to LR it weighs 18Kg. The VPLM0061 is actually 170grams heavier |

Yes, they are indeed. The price from the distributor is in line with what I get from independent suppliers and also the original catalogue has them listed - https://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/broc...r%2053.jpg |

Thanks, Bl4ckd0g! You've brought the clarity I was seeking. The online catalogue I was quoting for info must be wrong. |

I like the 0061's ..... and not so many about (was going to say not as common - but that could be taken 2 ways LOL).

0061 for me all day long, a nice wheel and easy too clean and the diamond cut gives them a nice touch.

L322 wheels do pop up here and there on the local classifieds websites and forums. Unfortunately, not a lot of choice. Sometimes they are welded, powder painted, and just poorly refurbished - people over here generally have no appreciation for the structural rigidity of their rims.
I like the red/grey contrast!
This is pretty much what mine looked like when I purchased it. But the 20" 0061 have been refurbished poorly and in a rather sorry state. Thinking of just selling them for cheap.
Thanks for posting the responses! Unfortunately, with the current situation around tyre sizes, I'm now leaning towards 19". Mainly because I don't want Scorpions, but rather Duratracs, and those only come in 55 sidewall and up; and I'm unwilling to add another inch to my wheels mainly because of increased suspension load and decreased power. 2009 Range Rover Westminster 3.6 TDV8 Alaska White/Jet |
