Hi.
What make are they and where did you purchase the racks?
Love the wheels.
All you need now is a pair of rocket boosters on either side, and off you go. Smile

I love your wheels my man!!! They look fantastic! I know you posted them before, but i could not take my eyes of them!
Where did you buy them from?

I know its a bit off topic but to help Amadeus and AAA86 identify the wheels check the link

Thanks for the compliments! I got the wheels off ebay. I mounted 275/45-20 tires and have driven the setup for about 5,000 miles with no complaints. The wider rubber really looks good on the car and helps on the twisty roads.

The roof rails and cross bars also came from ebay and I mounted my existing accessories (Thule bike mounts and Yakima Basket).

I'll probably copy you on your choice of wheels. Was looking at the same, but not sure if I should pick the dark colored (black chrome or gunmetal colored wheel). Is your car Impanema sand in color? Looks good!!!

I have all fall and winter to think it over, since I barely got any miles on the stock 19" wheels. Will look at upgrading sometime spring next year.

The sills are the Range Rover Protection Tubes, or whatever they call them.

I would have gotten these wheels in gunmetal at the time if they were available. I didn't see that color until after I got these. But I do like the silver, so it's no big deal. If you do change the wheels, go with a 275 width tire! The car color is Indus Silver with Santorini Black roof.

Thanks for the compliments!
