20” Polished Silver Alloy Wheel – Style 8

Hi all.

I have ordered a Dynamic Evoque in Mauritius blue with a black contrast roof but still unsure as to which alloys to choose.

I like the look of style 8 but can't find any 'real' pictures. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

We have just delivered a Buckingham Blue Dynamic to a client this week with "Style 8s" and I must say they looked fantastic.

This week we are taking delivery of a Fuji White Prestige with "Style 8s" and further photos will be posted on our website to help you with your decision.

Hi

Thanks for your response and link to the pictures.

I'm only viewing the link on my iPhone just now. Do the alloys have a mirror chrome finish? I saw something similar at my local dealer on a coupe which had a mirror finish but they advised they were dealer add ons and not factory standard.

Not sure I like them if they're chrome. Decisions, decisions...

Thanks.

Hi,

I have them on my car, love them against the black. They are very shiny! I have a few photo's on the thread below....

HTH,

They are of a polished chrome appearance. It will simply be chromed effect paint, however I would strongly be recommending care with cleaning products as I will guarantee that they will stain!

I specifically stayed with the Style 6 wheels because they will be relatively easy to refurbish. Being 20 inch and low profile tyres, they will scuff quite easily. If your car is going to lead a charmed existence away from pot holes, width restrictions and kerbs, the more expensive wheels will be fine but I guarantee you will regret the decision the first time you scuff a wheel and find out how much a new rim is. My RRE was bought to be a practical workhorse not a garage queen!

Mine is the same view as mark's, even though I'm going to try and be good with my car. Just due to the fact of how the roads are here. There is a good chance that my wheels will need fixing in the years to come. My last car had its wheels fixed 3 times. Mainly from in seen potholes that turn up after the rains, or poorly thought out roadworks where you literally come across steps in the road unlit at night.
Anyway back to the subject. I really did want some 20inchs for my car. And I also loved to look of the chrome style 8's but I knew I had to stop on the extras some where. Then I saw a demo car with them on, and boy they did not look so good when they needed a wash, my style 6's seemed to look nicer in a similar state.
So happy with my selection in the end.

Thanks for all your comments. Will go back to the drawing board regarding alloys before my specification has to be confirmed.

My existing car has 20inch wheels with very low profile tires and this hasn't been an issue to date. Hope that continues!

What is suprising about the RRE wheels is how much they weigh - I took mine off to install the mudgurards and they weigh an absolute ton.

They will also scratch very easily too. I have poly chrome wheels on my MG ZR-Express & I am carefull but they have several light marks.
Also a nightmare if you scuff them, so these sort of wheels are only for the predantic driver!
