So I have the 10-spoke rims on my Silver LR3 SE. I love the look of my LR3 with the (halogen/HID?) premium headlights but I think the 6-Spoke rims the come on most of the HSEs makes the car look so much better. What do you guys think and is it easy/ how much would it cost to exchange my rims for 6-spoke ones?
Thanks guys

 

Long term LR drivers covet the ten spoke 18" rims and give away the 19" six spoke.

You will notice that I boast that my HSE has the 18" ten spoke rims, well "18 inch wheels", but they are the desirable much treasured ten spoke rim factory wheels.

Actually I have both, the 18" for my winter tyres and 19" for summer rubber.

As to looks, I prefer the 18 ten spokers and tolerate the 19" six spoke, but each to his own.

If you plan any off roading, you want the 18"; 19" and 20" are for show cars.

 

I agree with the OP on this, but i'm not going to shell out money to change. Perhaps if a set pops up for sale cheap it would be nice to have two sets around for the seasons.

 

The 19s can be had cheap. That being said, I have Goodyear MT/Rs mounted on my 19s, which I love. I'll cry when they are all done because Goodyear doesn't make this tire anymore, and I also agree that I think the 6-spoke looks the best out of all the factory LR3 wheels...

 

Would trade a set of factory 19s for your 18s

 

Note my post #2 above. You will have a line up for your 18" rims.

 

Once you plastidip em black # of spokes is irrelevant from a looks point of view lol, yes 18 seem the norm

 

I like the 18's and I know that 18" rims have better tire choices and are a little bit cheaper in price. Plus you get better sidewall coverage. 10 spoke rims look the best IMO!
As for getting 6 spoke 19" rims, you will not have any problems. People will be in line to trade for your 18" rims.

I've included my plastidip 18" rims for you to check out.

 

I have both sets of wheels, and I too like the 19" looks better. There is an oddball 5 spoke 18" that looks pretty good too.. it looks almost like the 6 spoke 19"

I also notice that if you stick to STOCK sizes, there seem to have been more aggressive tires offered over the years for the 19s. The Goodyear MTR and these.

 

I really like how those turned out. How was the pricing to get them done?

To thread poster, I would keep the 10-spokes or if you really want 19"s advertise to sell/trade them here or on expo if you want them gone. EVERYONE wants the 18" 10-spokes.
