Default Aftermarket Land Rover Wheel Opinions

I was thinking about upgrading the wheels on my LR3 to something a little more stylish. I came across these wheels, the Gianelle Puerto do you guys think they would look good on my LR3 in silver, 22"?

I found a page that also has a ton of options for me, if those ones wouldn't be good is there anything on this land rover wheels page that would suit my car better, I have a 2008 white LR3.

Thanks!

All look great. When covered with mud, or going 60 mph, no one can see them anyway. But around Irvine you have to keep up with the Kardashians. I'd put the money into increased frequency maintenance (like not waiting until 150K to change differential fluid....). But I'm cheap.

My opinion would be the Machined Black version of those wheels. But, I like a little contrast with the color options. Then you could take a bright color (orange, yellow, red, blue) and paint your brake calipers. It would give it a nice touch if you are going to add the wheels. Make sure you use a high temp paint if you decide to paint the calipers.

IMO, LR's shouldn't have bright painted calipers or 22" wheels. But everyone has different tastes.

OP, ckeck out Redbourne Wheels. They do exclusively Land rover and Range Rover wheels so quality will be muc higher that universals. Dont go to big with the aftermarket wheels, they bend easily and you will lose tires left and right.

And ignore the assh*le guys on here. Especially the ones that just give bullsh*t opinions.

Not big on the "O" ring wheel and tire look on a 4WD vehicle and please don't paint your barke calipers red without getting a BBK.

If you really want wheels, check out Craigslist. They have good deals on bling bling wheel take-offs.
