marzman Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) I've just taken delivery of some bling-tastic wheels for my Range Rover Sport today... which i'll be fitting this evening. I have been keeping my eye on eBay for a set of rims ever since i got the car, but with prices around £1500 with tyres for a set of 2nd hand wheels, i wasnt planning on getting any unless i could find a bargain. Then on Monday night, with 3 minutes to go on the auction, i found a set of 22" Black alloys with a lip, and the bidding was only at £301! Yes, i know they're Wolfrace and therefore total garbage, but i thought they were worth a punt! So i put a bid in and won the auction... total £336 incl delivery! Anyway, i had them shipped to my mums house as i thought i'd be at work, but im working from home today so i've just been and picked them up. Here's a teaser pic... i will be fitting them tonight. I've also ordered some clear side repeaters which i shall be fitting very soon too. UPDATE - FITTED PICS!! Right... i finished work at 5.30 and got straight on to fitting them. And bloody typical, it started pissing it down just as i got all my gear out! It was pretty hard work to be honest though... every single nut on my stock wheels seemed to have seized on... it took me an age to undo them all, and i've managed to slip a disc in the process. Barely able to stand, i soldiered on in the rain, and I have now finished. Have to say i'm really pleased with how they look. Not driven on them yet though, so it remains to be seen how badly affected the ride is. On to the pics.... The Range is filthy so please ignore that. And i set my suspension to low just for the pics... looks a little cooler. I've also not fitted the wheel centers as they have a large Wolfrace logo on them... so im going to order some Land Rover centers instead before fitting them. Dont even think i'd get one of these wheels in the zed. Edited August 23, 2013 by marzman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glrnet Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Result!! Nice ZED too I've never got the Range Rover thing, for me it has the aerodynamics and styling of a telephone kiosk but each to their own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leonk Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Much more subtle, those standard wheels made you stand out way too much round here! Seriously though, look great Chris. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRF4N Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 You better get used to junkies lurking around your car looking for a bargain now Not usually a fan of black wheels but that pulls them off. Bargain as well I saw the new range sport on the road a few days back...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Sweet jesus they're awful Sorry dude, but they look the cheap and cheerful Halfords specials they are, especially on something tasty like an RRS. As long as you're happy is the main thing, but I really do think it looks ruined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 So i've done a few miles with these on today and im happy to report the car doesnt feel any different to drive, which is what i was worried about. No tramlining or any bumpier than usual, so im happy. It's great though... when driving the zed all i get it looks of admiration and people smiling and pointing. However when im in the RRS, all i get is looks of disgust from people, and today even more so. Mission accomplished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you're happy is the main thing, but I really do think it looks ruined. I know, i was skeptical before i bought them and just took a punt on whether they'd look any good, seeing as they were going for next to nothing on eBay. There was no way i'd lose money on them, the tyres alone are worth more than i paid for the whole lot. Having fitted them i'm more than happy with how they've turned out... slightly better offsets than stock is my fave part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
