2013 model: wheel

Hi guys,

Sorry if this issue has been mentioned in previous thread. It would be pleased if point me out where it is, I could not find it.

I was wondering the exterior looks of the wheel for 2013 model. My dealer told me that the center badge of the wheel will be "Land Rover" instead of " Range Rover". I already know that "Land Rover" badge will be on the front grill, but surprised about the wheel.

Any information wanted, thanksWink

RE: 2013 model: wheel

I've seen the dealer update and didn't notice anything about the wheel badges. I wouldn't worry about it though as you can buy a set of 4 for about £10 on ebay - not sure how much shipping to Japan will be though.

The one change I did see is that the style 5 wheel will be sparkle silver rather than diamond cut for 2013.

Thanks for the reply WB,

Even though I would be able to buy RR badge, not sure if it can be replaced with LR badge because I presume RR badge shapes circle, whereas LL badge seems more oval. Anyway, I just hope it's not LR badge because I really like RR badge betterSad

Re wheel badge. The oval is just a design on the circular plate. They are completely interchangeable (I know from experience).

+ 1 - the wheel design isn't changing so the badges will be the same size
