For the most part, I can't stand ANY aftermarket wheels/rims ... Especially on a vehicle as nice as the newer Range Rovers ... I would never pay $3000 for something like that, ... heck, I wouldn't use them if they were given to me free ...

hope that answers your question

i like upgraded alloys but not for £2000, anyway those alloys on your range rover look better than the ones on the sport. id recomend the overfinch wheels myself

One thing to consider is that these things are heavy as crap. You may find some to fit, but they will crack like an egg if you go offroad at all. Also, if they are strong enough, they are heavy. I don't remember the raito, but added weight at the wheel kills your mileage on a truck that is already bad.

Besides, you have to be careful not to make it look ghetto...

I say, for the money, keep what you got. Might need it for a repair....

Are you being funny in the picture or serious. If you really wear your hat backwards and throw out peace signs those wheels might be fitting... But none of that goes along with your fishing story so I'm guessing you were kidding. Oh and one other thing... Butler Tire is the worst place you could ever buy wheels from. Their markup is horrendous....
