I managed to get a brand new set this morning as I have 19inch 7 spoke wheels already on my 2008 SE. I bought them purely for the tyres. Anyone interested in the alloys as they are brand new. Any advice what I could sell the alloys for or where I could sell them would be appreciated, regards, Chris.

Glad that worked out for everyone. Richard tells me he has one set left sitting on an unregistered FFRR. Otherwise the attic is bare. Couldn't believe the interest in FFRR alloys over the past few days
In the end I didn't go for a set Had just bought 4 new tyres from Kwik Fit as a distress purchase as I couldn't find any sets on ebay

Absolutely bloody fantastic, they arrived today exactly as described, I put them straight on and they look the dogs. 8) BCP I owe you a pint. Brute force and ignorance, the D3 does the rest.

Seems a bit too good to be true this .... so can I just check it isn't.
Her indoors' D3 HSE needs 4 new tyres (255 55r19 Pirelli Scorpions Zero M&S 111v fitted from new and now very near end of life). The wheels are also a bit beaten up after some wheel spinning in the deep, gritty mud at Weardale last year. So can I buy a set of Range Rover 19" wheels with these same tyres fitted (of which there are a fair few doing the rounds on ebay at circa £400 -£600) and will they fit straight onto the D3? Are the offset, stud pattern and load rating etc etc all the same ? And if so why would the insurance co. be interested? Oh, and do they look ok on a D3 as well?
BTW, I have been quoted £640 from local tyre shop to fit 4 P Scorpions on existing rims, so new rims and tyres at a lower price does feel like the way to go ....Disco 4 TDV6HSE

You can fit the Range Rover Vogue 19" 7 spoke wheels (these wheels need to be from a 2006 model or later though).
I'm in the same predicament as you and am currently bidding on these ones
however if I dont get them (and I hope I do) I'm going to bid on a set of these

Thanks - Definitely sounds good. I guess ringing around a few LR stealers may turn up a set or two as well. It always amazes me how many good sets of wheels you can find in skips out the back of dealers which have been taken off a new model at the customers expense and the dealer doesn't even try to sell on.
One final thing : does the following apply to a D3 ?
You will need to purchase a spigot ring to reduce the centre bore from 72.6mm to 70.3mm and new bolts will also be required.Disco 4 TDV6HSE

I've got 20 wheel nuts off a FFRR that came with a set of these wheels if anyone wants them.
