Yeah and black out the windows too.
So so sick of hood cars here and chrome rims.
I don't know where you are from, but I see more caucasian surburban individuals with rimmed up, chromed out, tinted out vehicles, especially land rovers, than people from the hood.

This is a Land Rover forum. Not a "my truck needs to look like I go offroading every week" forum. He had a question where his vehicle, a LAND ROVER is concerned. If you didn't have anything constructive to say, nothing helpful to add, just let it go. No need for the wiseguy comments. Just keep it moving.

Yes, I understand, the majority of us go offroading \ mudbogging \ etc quite frequently and that our taste are towards having our vehicle look the part. But when we drop the attitude that every vehicle should look the exact same and actually be a little more open, then we actually get people with fresh idea's who can help us solve some of our more common problems instead of the band-aids some problems require.

I was looking at getting a set of these too. I'm very interested to see how it looks.
Are you getting the black edition or the regular?

I'm getting the painted stormers in silver, not a huge fan of chromed out vehicles (not a disco at least) Only thing I'm having a hard time deciding is do I want replicas, or spend alittle more on land rover issued. I've heard and seen horror stories about cheap replicas bending and cracking under normal driving conditions.

Will do! Might be at least a month before I go ahead with it, I have a minor repair that needs to be handled first.

Yeah I've heard the horror stories 2. I'm just thinking "Do it one time correctly. Instead of 2 times incorrectly"

Its funny. I thought about doing the 20's when I retired my truck from trail duty.
Then I considered tire prices in case of a puncture, and settled for the 19's.

WOW DGI07 your disco looks fantastic! I love that generation wheel, I can probably find a full set of those for alot cheaper than the stormer. They look near factory on a disco, I think I just changed my mind on which rim I'll be purchasing!
